At this point the game looked kinda done. Allegri introduced Alvaro Morata  to the game and what a substitution that would turn out to be. Just a few minutes after coming on, Morata crossed the ball on the edge of the six-yard box where Locatelli was left unmarked and scored a header to make it 3-2. A couple minutes later, Morata was in a good position inside the box. His shot was blocked but Dejan Kulusevski scored the rebound to get the equalizer. VAR reviewed the situation, after which referee Davide Massa ruled that there was nothing wrong and the goal stood. In the 77th minute Juventus took advantage of the shaken hosts. Chris Smalling's failed clearance got De Sciglio into a good position in the box and the fullback gave Juve the lead with a powerful shot in the left corner. Four minutes later, however, the referee awarded Roma a penalty. After a VAR check, Massa gave Matthijs de Ligt' his second yellow and a spot kick to Roma. Up stepped captain Pellegrini again. What followed was not nearly as good as his free kick. The penalty was straigh at the keeper and he also missed the rebound. https://twitter.com/juventusfc/status/1480260818352709632 Both teams had chances in the dying minutes of the game, nevertheless the result remained unchanged.
