Jonathan David's Missed Penalty Costs Juventus in Draw with Lecce

  • On Saturday Juventus were held to a surprise 1-1 draw by relegation-threatened Lecce after Jonathan David had a central, weak penalty saved by Wladimiro Falcone.
  • Andrea Cambiaso's underpowered pass was intercepted, and Lameck Banda cut past two opponents to score the shock first-half stoppage-time opener for Lecce.
  • Weston McKennie restored parity after the break by firing home his first Serie A goal this season from a return pass by Kenan Yildiz, while Juventus hit the post twice, including a Falcone-tipped header.
  • The draw left Juventus level with fourth-placed Roma, while Lecce moved five points clear of the relegation zone with the surprise result.
  • A late penalty decision could have changed the result as Juventus were awarded a spot kick after Mohamed Kaba handled Jonathan David's effort, but the attacking unit failed to convert while hitting the woodwork and facing saves.
