The Primavera maintained their unbeaten start to the Next Generation Series with last night’s 1-1 draw against Manchester City at a rain-swept Alessandria.
With the torrential conditions hampering the progressive passing game encouraged by Marco Baroni, Juventus fell behind to Meppen-Walter’s header on the stroke of half time.
It looked like it was going to be one of those nights when Schiavone spurned a chance to draw level from the penalty spot.
But defender Rugiani headed in a vital equaliser six minutes from time to keep the Bianconeri in the hunt for a place in the next round.
The result puts Juventus alongside City on five points with a game in hand. Paris Saint-Germain lead the way in Group 2 with six points from three games, while Fenerbache prop up the table on two points.
Baroni’s side will make the journey to Manchester for the return group game on Thursday.
