Juventus equalized in added time to force a 1-1 draw against AC Milan in Sunday’s biggest Serie A clash. completesports.com information.
Super Eagles star Samuel Chukwueze, who came on in the second half, picked up another assist in the league after setting up teammate Alphadjo Cissé to put Milan ahead.
But Federico Gatti scored in the 92nd minute to help Juventus get a share of the points.
Chukwueze’s first league assist came in Milan’s 2–1 away win against Torino on 23 September.
The first half was closely contested and goalless, with Juventus creating the best opportunities, while Milan remained organized on the counterattack under new coach Rúben Amorim.
Around the hour mark, Ruben Amorim made changes that quickly paid off when Chukwueze (one of the substitutes) provided a long ball that Cissé controlled on the left side of the area, cut inside past Manuel Locatelli and finished low past Guglielmo Vicario.
Juventus pushed for an equalizer and were rewarded for their efforts when Gatti rose to meet Teun Koopmeiners’ free kick and headed past Maignan to make it 1-1.

Both Milan and Juventus remain unbeaten after three Serie A matches in the 2026-27 season, tied on seven points (two wins, one draw each) and fourth and fifth, two points behind leaders Roma and Inter (both with nine points from three wins) and tied with Como.
Chukwueze has made a strong initial impression at Milan under new manager Amorim after returning from a 2025-26 loan spell at Fulham.
The former Manchester United manager has primarily used the Nigerian international as a right-back in a 3-4-2-1 system, emphasizing work rate, character and ball control over purely defensive traits. Amorim noted that defending is “a matter of spirit and character, which is what Chukwueze has,” and that he has improved in that aspect.
His system and crowd support seem to suit Chukwueze’s pace, dribbling and direct style better than his previous setups.
He has taken on the most demanding responsibilities at full-back and early signs suggest he is developing into a useful and energetic option on the right flank as Milan look for a strong Serie A campaign.
