TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Juventus' undefeated run in Serie A this season ended in the 9th match, as the champion lost against Genoa at Luigi Ferraris Stadium on Thursday, October 30, 2014.
Massimiliano Allegri decided to rest Andrea Pirlo in the bench, opting Paul Pogba and Arturo Vidal for the center midfield role. Allegri, however, still entrusted the striker slots for Carlos Tevez and Fernando Llorente.
Despite having ruled ball possession by 57 percent, La Vecchia Signora failed to score a single goal. Even worse, Genoa stole a goal in the final minute, as Luca Antonini scored in the 90th.
The defeat hit Juventus bad, as their main contender AS Roma won over Cesena at Olimpico. Juventus and AS Roma are neck-to-neck, collecting 22 points and 16-4 goal difference.
