Lucumi’s Late Strike Denied as Juventus and Rennes Share the Points
Must-Watch Futmetrix Score: 100/100. A last-minute VAR intervention turned a potential Juventus winner into a draw that ended the hosts’ perfect start.
Opening Act
Juventus needed only five minutes to make the Allianz Stadium roar: Zeki Çelik finished after Nick Woltemade supplied the assist, and the hosts looked set for a routine night. But Rennes refused the script. Mousa Al-Tamari struck back on 15 minutes, meeting Bryan Reynolds’s delivery to punish a Juventus side that had barely settled. The opening quarter-hour became an open exchange rather than a one-way showcase. Juventus edged possession at 54%, yet Rennes made its 16-14 advantage in shots count as a warning: the visitors were direct and willing to attack space. Woltemade’s early contribution was more than a pass; he later supplied the finishing touch that kept Juventus in it. A high Intensity was evident before the match had found its shape.
The Pivot
The decisive swing came from the penalty spot. Rennes moved in front when Boulaye Dia converted in the 43rd minute, turning an open first half into a chase for Juventus. The home side answered after the break: Nick Woltemade took the 67th-minute penalty and made it 2-2, completing a goal-and-assist contribution. From there, neither team could turn pressure into a winner. Juventus created four big chances and Rennes two, but the scoreline still rested on one final episode. In the 90th minute, Jhon Lucumi’s goal was cancelled after a VAR intervention. That was the hinge: the decision erased a potential Juventus winner and kept the contest level. The Balance held until the final call, with two penalties and a late intervention deciding the shape of the result.
Resolution
Juventus came into the third league-stage round with six points from two wins; this draw takes them to seven and ends their perfect start. Rennes arrived on four and leave with five, a useful return from a demanding away trip. The table is still taking shape, so this is a warning shot rather than a verdict on either campaign. Juventus edged possession at 54% and fashioned four big chances, yet Rennes stayed dangerous enough to keep the home defence working. Across the match, 30 combined attempts and 12 corners maintained the pressure, but only nine shots found the target. Juventus’s 2.25 expected goals against Rennes’s 1.71 confirms the hosts had the stronger chance profile, not the final word. The Stakes are clear: Juventus have dropped their first points, while Rennes have made their mark in a demanding European away fixture.
Key Questions
How did VAR change this match?
VAR cancelled Jhon Lucumi’s 90th-minute goal, denying Juventus a potential winner and preserving the 2-2 draw.
What does this mean for Juventus’s season?
Juventus’s two-win start ends, but they remain unbeaten; the draw takes them to seven points after three Europa League matches.
What is the Futmetrix Score?
The Futmetrix Score is our 0-100 verdict on how entertaining a match is. We look at intensity, balance, stakes, and star quality to tell you if it's worth your time.
European Ambitions Collide in Turin
Must-Watch Futmetrix Score: 89/100. Juventus look to cement their spot at the summit, while Rennes fight to breach the crucial top-eight automatic qualification line.
The Setup
The stage is set on October 22, 2026, as Juventus welcome Rennes to the Allianz Stadium. Sitting top of the UEFA Europa League table with a flawless record, the Italian giants boast a fierce Form rating that signals pure danger. For the visitors, currently 13th, the motivation is clear: pushing past the playoff line into the top eight. While a modest Stakes dynamic suggests a measured tactical affair early on, the home side's incredible firepower and high Stars rating hint at potential fireworks once the game opens up.
Key Battle
The match could well be decided by a shootout between two in-form attackers. Edon Zhegrova has been terrorising defences for the hosts, and he faces a fascinating duel of influence against the visitors' talisman, Esteban Lepaul. If Zhegrova finds consistent space on the flank, Rennes will struggle to maintain their defensive shape and the overall Balance of the tie will swing heavily toward the home side.
Our Prediction
We expect a Juventus victory. The hosts will likely control possession from the opening whistle, methodically stretching the away defensive line until gaps appear for their elite attackers to exploit, ultimately overpowering a resilient French block.
