- VAR awarded a late spot kick after Dusan Vlahovic’s header struck Jay Idzes’ arm, but Manuel Locatelli’s effort was saved by Arijanet Muric.
- Muric earned Man of the Match honors with multiple decisive stops, including a point-blank save from Arkadiusz Milik in stoppage time.
- Juventus have now failed to convert three consecutive Serie A penalties, extending a worrying trend in key moments.
