Serie B side Reggiana held Juventus to a 2-2 draw in the Bianconeri’s first summer friendly, with Francisco Conceiçao and Dusan Vlahovic on target for the Old Lady.

Juventus picked up a 2-2 draw against Serie B side Reggiana in their first summer friendly on Saturday.

The visitors took the lead after 22 minutes when Natan Girma made the most of a poor backpass from Pierre Kalulu, finding the net with a curler at the far post.

It took less than one minute for Juventus to equalise with another curler from the edge of the box, executed by Conceiçao, assisted by new signing Jonathan David.

Igor Tudor changed the Juventus’ XI entirely during the break, introducing Vlahovic, Kenan Yildiz, Khephren Thuram and Andrea Cambiaso.

Juventus played part of the second half with a 4-2-3-1 formation, while the first half formation was a classic 3-4-2-1.

Vlahovic gave Juventus the lead just a few seconds into the second half, steering the ball inside an empty net after Edoardo Motta saved a Daniele Rugani header.

Juventus looked vulnerable on long balls and crosses, and it’s no coincidence that Cedric Gondo levelled the score at minute 72 with a header.

Juventus had some big chances to win the game, but Yildiz didn’t find the target from an excellent position minutes after Reggiana’s second goal, while Vlahovic hit the crossbar from a corner kick routine.
