ROME — Juventus needed a late equalizer from 20-year-old Samuel Mbangula to finish 2-2 at home with Bologna in Serie A after coach Thiago Motta was sent off for protests on Saturday.
Mbangula curled in a shot from beyond the area in stoppage time.
Dan Ndoye and Tommaso Pobega put Bologna 2-0 ahead, and Teun Koopmeiners pulled one back for Juventus.
Motta guided Bologna to a fifth-place finish last season and the Champions League, and left in the summer for Juventus. He was shown a straight red card shortly before Pobega’s goal.
Juventus remained sixth while Bologna moved level on points with seventh-place AC Milan, five points behind.
It was Juventus' fourth straight draw in Serie A and the Champions League, and the Bianconeri are due to host Manchester City on Wednesday.
Also, Roma earned its first win under Claudio Ranieri by 4-1 over visiting Lecce.
Alexis Saelemaekers, Gianluca Mancini, Niccolò Pisilli and Manu Kone scored for the Giallorossi, who hadn't won since October.
Genoa and Torino drew 0-0. Genoa extended its unbeaten streak to five matches, with the last three coming since Patrick Vieira replaced Alberto Gilardino as coach.
Torino was 11th and Genoa 13th.
