Juventus Lead Serie A After Verona Draw as Milan Closes Gap

Juventus climbed to the top of the Serie A table provisionally after a 1-1 draw at Hellas Verona, with Francisco Conceicao scoring early for Juve and Gift Orban equalizing from a penalty for Verona. Juventus coach Igor Tudor criticized the penalty decision as "incomprehensible" and felt Orban should have been sent off for an elbow incident. Despite looking fatigued after recent intense matches, Juventus maintained their lead with 10 points, one ahead of Napoli. AC Milan closed to within one point of Juventus by defeating Udinese 3-0, with Christian Pulisic scoring twice and Youssouf Fofana adding another goal. Milan's victory marked their third consecutive win and temporarily moved them above Napoli on goals scored. Earlier, Bologna came from behind to beat Genoa 2-1 with a late penalty, highlighting a competitive weekend in Serie A.
