Juventus dropped their first points of the Serie A season as their defensive frailties showed again in a draw at Verona.

Having drawn 4-4 with Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League on Tuesday - and beaten Inter Milan in a seven-goal thriller last weekend - Igor Tudor's side were sloppy at the back once more and perhaps fortunate not to be beaten by their winless hosts.

Portugal winger Francisco Conceicao put the visitors ahead, riding a challenge and beating a man before finding the bottom corner from just outside the box.

Verona levelled from the spot after Joao Mario was harshly penalised for handball when the ball struck his arm from a long throw.

Gift Orban's penalty went in off the underside of the bar - despite the best efforts of Juve goalkeeper Michele di Gregorio who got a hand to it - and minutes later the Verona striker was only yellow-carded for swinging an arm into the face of Federico Gatti.

The hosts looked most likely to grab a second-half winner, with a header from Suat Serdar correctly disallowed for offside, while Orban and Martin Frese forced smart saves from Di Gregorio.

The point moves Juventus to the top of Serie A before the remainder of the weekend's games, with Napoli hosting Pisa on Monday as they look to preserve the league's only remaining 100% record.
