Juventus were held to a 2-2 draw by Fiorentina in a Serie A match on December 29, 2024, at the Allianz Stadium in Turin.
Midfielder Khephren Thuram was instrumental for Juventus, scoring both goals for the hosts. He opened the scoring in the 20th minute with a solo effort, driving into the box and finishing low past Fiorentina goalkeeper David de Gea. Thuram restored Juventus' lead early in the second half with a close-range shot into the bottom corner.
Fiorentina responded with goals from Moise Kean and Riccardo Sottil. Kean equalized before halftime, heading in a cross from Yacine Adli. Sottil secured the draw in the 87th minute with a powerful volley past Juventus goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio.
This result leaves both teams level on 32 points in the Serie A standings, with Fiorentina in fifth place and Juventus in sixth, trailing the league leaders by nine points.
The match was briefly halted in the first half due to racist chants directed at Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic from the visiting supporters' section.
Juventus head coach Thiago Motta expressed disappointment with the result, noting that it was the team's fifth draw in the last six matches, which has hindered their pursuit of the league title.
Fiorentina's goalkeeper, David de Gea, was instrumental in securing the draw, making several crucial saves, including a stoppage-time effort from Juventus' Francisco Conceição.
