[Serie A] Juventus - Lazio = 2 - 2


Matchday 24 of Serie A delivered pure drama as Juventus and S.S. Lazio played out a breathless 2 to 2 draw at Allianz Stadium on February 8, 2026.


The home side started on the front foot and thought they had the breakthrough in the 26th minute when Teun Koopmeiners found the net, only for VAR to rule it out for offside, a decision that added early fuel to an already tense night.


Lazio absorbed the pressure and struck first through Pedro, who finished a move created by Daniel Maldini. The visitors then doubled their advantage straight after the restart when Gustav Isaksen made it 2 to 0, putting the match firmly in Lazio’s hands and leaving the stadium stunned.


Juventus refused to fold and finally got their reward in the 59th minute. Weston McKennie pulled one back after a delivery from Andrea Cambiaso, shifting the momentum back toward the hosts and setting up a long siege on the Lazio box.


Relentless pressure followed, and Luciano Spalletti’s side kept pushing until the final seconds. The breakthrough arrived in the 96th minute when Pierre Kalulu powered in a late equaliser, with Jeremie Boga involved in the move that led to the decisive touch.


The numbers underline how chaotic the match felt. One match data report credited Juventus with 63 percent possession, 33 shots and an expected goals figure of 2.63, while Lazio produced 9 shots with an xG of 1.06, relying on efficiency and strong goalkeeping to stay ahead for so long.


In the end, Juventus avoided a damaging home defeat, while Lazio left Turin with a point that still carries weight, even if it came with the frustration of surrendering a two goal lead so late in the night.
