Juventus forward Cristiano Ronaldo rescued a draw
for Juventus vs Atalanta yesterday after converting two penalties awarded for
handball. Though the handballs were accidental, referee Pierro Giacomelli had
to follow the new rules and award them. Atalanta who have scored the most goals
in Serie A this season, would have climbed to second place and cut the gap
between them and Juventus to six points had they won. They have scored 19 more
goals than any Serie A side this season. Atalanta controlled long periods of
the game, with two goals from Duvin Zapata and Ruslan Malinovskiy.
Juventus savior Cristiano Ronaldo took his league
goals tally to 28 goals in 28 league games with his two goals from the spot
kick. Ronaldo has now concerted 11 of 11 penalty kicks in Serie A this season,
a tie with Roberto Baggio's 1997/1998 record for most penalty goals scored
without missing in a single Serie A season (assuming he doesn't miss any for
the rest of the season). Ronaldo has scored 17.1% (125 of 732) of his career
goals from the penalty spot.
