Juventus misses a chance to seal an eighth consecutive title with a loss to SPAL

Juventus missed the opportunity to win an eighth consecutive title in Serie A after a 2-1 defeat at SPAL.

The team of Mbadimiliano Allegri only needed one point to win the title, but she will have to wait until Saturday for the match against Fiorentina, unless Napoli succeeds in defeating Chievo on Sunday.

Moise Kean shot Joao Cancelo's whack at home to put Juventus ahead.

Kevin Bonifazi took the lead in the equalizer just after the break, before Sergio Floccari, 37, scored the winning goal.

It was the first SPAL victory against the Italian champions since February 1957 and only the second defeat of Juventus in the league.

Allegri has left several players from the first team, including top scorer Cristiano Ronaldo, with the quarter-final first leg of the Champions League Tuesday at home against Ajax. They drew 1-1 at the Johan Cruyff Arena last week.

It was their youngest Serie A formation for 20 years, averaging 25 years and 104 days. Central defender Paolo Gozzi Iweru, 17, became the youngest player to feature in the Italian top flight this season.

With the 1-1 match, Stephy Mavididi, the English Under-20 striker, also made his debut at Juventus.

The 20-year-old who joined the Italian club Arsenal in August, was introduced in the 68th minute.

Juventus has won every league title in Italy since moving to its current stadium in 2011 and a record total of 34.

Despite the defeat, they have 20 points ahead of Napoli, who is in second place, and has seven games to play this season.
