However, Atalanta pressed forward and scored the equaliser on 15 minutes. Paul Pogba and Kwadwo Asamoah both failed to contain Giacomo Bonaventura on the right and the midfielder set up Maximiliano Moralez to slam home from close range.

Tevez and Fernando Llorente had chances in quick succession in the following minutes, but both failed to keep their respective attempts on target.

Then on 20 minutes Pogba struck the Atalanta crossbar but the referee had already blown the whistle for a offside infringement.

Carlos Carmona tried to hit back for the home side, but it was Juve who had the better chances as the first half progressed, with Tevez going close on a couple of occasions.
