Sampdoria ends Juve home win run at 25
Print Edition
PATRICE Evra scored his first goal in Serie A but Juventus was held 1-1 at home by Champions League hopeful Sampdoria yesterday, ending the Turin club’s home winning streak at 25 matches.
Evra, the former Manchester United left back, put Juventus ahead with a header following a corner 12 minutes in. Sampdoria substitute Manolo Gabbiadini equalized in the 51st by shooting inside the far post for his sixth goal of the season.
It was Juventus’ last home match of 2014, so ending the winning streak at the Juventus Stadium was especially bitter so close to completing a perfect year. The last time Juventus dropped points at home in the league was a 1-1 draw with Cagliari in May 2013, while the last loss was a 1-2 defeat to Sampdoria in January 2013.
“They’re really strong here. They’re also tough on the road but here they have another gear,” Gabbiadini said. “We struggled in the first half, which was expected, but we managed to equalize.”
After the lunchtime fixture, three-time defending champion Juventus moved four points ahead of AS Roma, which was at third-place Genoa later.
Juventus also drew 0-0 at Fiorentina last week.
“It’s too bad, because we created a ton of chances in the first half and we didn’t take advantage of them all,” said first-year Juventus coach Massimilian Allegri.
Sampdoria, which stretched its unbeaten streak to six matches, moved level third on points with Genoa and Lazio in the race for the final Champions League berth.
Also later, Napoli was facing AC Milan at San Siro.
