Serie A: Cagliari 1-1 Juventus — Kolo Muani scores first goal to rescue a point
Juventus were held to a 1-1 draw by Cagliari in a Serie A fixture. The visitors were in danger of leaving Sardinia empty-handed before Kolo Muani struck his first goal for the club, rescuing a point. The result extends Juventus's run of inconsistent away form and gives Cagliari a valuable draw at home against one of the league's traditional heavyweights. The goal marks a personal milestone for Muani, who will be looking to build momentum after his move to Turin.

The encouraging subplot is Muani opening his account, which could be the spark his adaptation period needed.
