XtraTime Web Desk: Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice as reigning champions Juventus managed to salvage a 2-2 draw against AS Roma in Serie A on Sunday. Jordan Veretout scored from a penalty to put AS Roma ahead. Juve restored parity as Ronaldo converted a spot kick. The French midfielder was on target again as he struck his second of the night in first-half stoppage time.
Juventus were down to 10 men after midfielder Adrien Rabiot was flashed a second yellow card to leave his side a man down for the final third of the match, but a towering Ronaldo header earned a point for the Italian champions in Andrea Pirlo’s second game in charge.
The result leaves Juventus in fifth place, with four points from their opening two league games. Roma are down in 13th on one point, as their opening day 0-0 draw against Hellas Verona was changed to a 3-0 defeat by Serie A because they fielded an ineligible player.
