Dušan Vlahović was dismissed late on as Juventus’ frustrating run of form continued with an underwhelming goalless home draw against a determined Genoa side, leaving them with just one win from their last eight Serie A matches.Looking to end their 33-year wait for an away league win over Juventus, Genoa threatened to break the deadlock in the seventh minute at the Allianz Stadium. Albert Guðmundsson’s driven free-kick was met by Matti Bani, whose flicked header forced Wojciech Szczęsny to make an important save at full stretch. Szczęsny’s opposite number Josep Martínez may have been surprised by his lack of work in the opening quarter before he was eventually required to make a routine stop from Federico Gatti’s long-range strike. In truth, the hosts struggled to move out of first gear in the first period, ensuring they went into the break on level terms for the 10th time in 15 home league games.##EDITORS_CHOICE##With Juventus showing little signs of improvement in the opening stages of the second period, Massimiliano Allegri decided it was the opportune moment to make a triple change, introducing Adrien Rabiot, Kenan Yıldız, and Samuel Iling-Junior. The latter went agonisingly close to having an immediate impact, striking the upright with a low left-foot strike. Vlahović then threatened to add to his 15-goal league tally when he sent his header narrowly wide from Andrea Cambiaso’s inch-perfect cross. The pair then linked up again just moments later, with Vlahović failing to hit the target following another inviting delivery from Juventus’ 24-year-old wing-back. The hosts were left to rue another missed opportunity when substitute Moise Kean crashed his fierce strike against the upright in the 90th minute.FT: Juventus 0-0 Genoa.Juventus drop 2 points. They managed to get just 2 shots on target in 96 minutes. pic.twitter.com/I05gcCWmgk— 𝐀𝐅𝐂 𝐀𝐉𝐀𝐗 💎 (@TheEuropeanLad) March 17, 2024 Juventus’ frustration ultimately boiled over in stoppage time, with Vlahović receiving two yellow cards in quick succession to leave his side with 10 men for the remaining few minutes. Genoa were unable to benefit from the late red card, but they ultimately showed great resilience to take a point from an away head-to-head meeting for the first time since October 2018. As for the Old Lady, they stay in third position after missing the chance to snatch second place from AC Milan.Don’t blame Vlahovic for his frustrationBeing an attacker under Allegri is the most frustrating job in the worldChiesa is fed up, Vlahovic is fed up as Allegri is incapable of constructing attacksAt the 70th minute Juventus had a 0.38xGAnother unwatchable game of football— Carlo Garganese (@carlogarganese) March 17, 2024 SERIE A – MATCHDAY 29Friday Empoli – Bologna 0-1 (0-0)/Fabian 90+4/Saturday Udinese – Torino 0-2 (0-1)/Zapata 10, Vlasic 53/Monza – Cagliari 1-0 (1-0)/Maldini 31/Salernitana – Lecce 0-1 (0-1)/Gyomber 17 og/Frosinone – Lazio 2-3 (1-1)/Lirola 13, Cheddira 70 – Zaccagni 38, Castellanos 57,62/Sunday Juventus – Genoa 0-017.00: (5.10) Verona (3.60) AC Milan (1.73)20.00: (1.90) Atalanta (3.60) Fiorentina (4.50)20.00: (1.40) Roma (4.70) Sassuolo (8.00)22.45: (1.65) Inter (3.90) Napoli (6.00)***odds are subject to change***
