Goal.com rates the performances of the players involved in the exciting draw in Turin on Sunday afternoon

By Vasil Kotsev

Gianluigi Buffon
190
46
6.0

Had very little to do and was left with no chance for the equaliser. Still, he showed great control of his box and was dominant in the air.

Paolo De Ceglie
241
63
6.5

The defender made sure he got the basics right in an encouraging performance. Was solid at the back and made a few decent runs

Andrea Barzagli
215
42
6.5

Barring some nervy moments at the end of the first half, the defender did very well at the back. Showed great anticipation and often bailed out Bonucci.

Leonardo Bonucci
Flop of the Match
105
283
4.5

The former Bari man had a poor game. Lacked composure and his terrible clearance in the 48th minute led to the equaliser.

Stephan Lichtsteiner
Top of the Match
288
115
7.0

The Switzerland international was exceptional in the first half, making some rampaging runs on the flank and was a rock at the back. Provided the assist for the opening goal but his level of performance somewhat dropped after the break.

Simone Pepe
51
222
6.0

Put in a lot of effort, but most of the time the final product was missing. Drifted in harmless positions and looked isolated for large parts of the encounter.

Claudio Marchisio
175
82
6.5

Impressed with some nice flicks and passes early on, but his efficiency started to wane as the game progressed. Made some reckless challenges and should have been booked for a foul on Ibarbo in the first period.

Andrea Pirlo
146
134
6.5

Distributed the ball, but generally failed to make a decisive impact. Put in a lot of effort in defence and was a threat from set-pieces.

Arturo Vidal Pardo
191
78
6.5

The Chilean delivered an energetic performance, but his finishing let him down on a couple of occasions. Made sure Cagliari were stifled in midfield and made a few telling interventions.

Mirko Vučinić
165
165
5.5

Despite scoring Juve's only goal of the game, the former Roma man was very poor. Barely played with the ball and was isolated for large parts of the match.

Alessandro Matri
73
216
5.0

The 27-year-old was anonymous and failed to impress against his old team. His only chance of the game came in the first half as he stole the ball off the visitors' defence, but failed to find the target from outside the box.

• Substitutions
Milos Krasic
130
262
4.5

Guilty of a horrible miss in the last moments of the game. Did his chance to make the first team regularly no good.

Alessandro Del Piero
168
137
5.0

Failed to make an impact after coming on.

Marco Borriello
110
152
5.0

Couldn't turn the game around after replacing Mirko Vucinic.

Michael Agazzi
31
13
6.5

Could not do anything to prevent the opener, but made a few great interventions to keep Juventus at bay. Was a bit unconvincing in the air, but improved as the game progressed.

Davide Astori
43
12
6.5

The former AC Milan man was easily bypassed in the build-up to the opener, but upped his level of performance later on. Showed good reading of the game and great tackling.

Francesco Pisano
17
17
5.5

Enjoyed an interesting duel with De Ceglie on the flank and was generally solid in defence. Had minimal impact in the final third, though.

Michele Canini
20
13
6.0

Was dragged out of position on a couple of occasions, but got his act together after the break. Showed prowess in the air.

Alessandro Agostini
18
16
5.0

Had his fair share of trouble with Lichtsteiner as the former Lazio man was dominant on the flank. Was often easily bypassed and offered no threat in attack.

Radja Nainggolan
44
13
6.0

The midfielder had occasional flashes of brilliance, but generally failed to spark something special. Showed good passing, but was often outmuscled in centre of the pitch.

Andrea Cossu
51
16
7.0

Was guilty of losing the ball on a lot of occasions, but more than made up for that with a fine strike to secure a point for his team. Had an inspired second half.

Albin Ekdal
40
18
5.0

The former Juve man had a horrible game as he showed poor passing and ball control. Was often frustrated by the Old Lady's dynamic midfield and failed to make an impact.

Daniele Dessena
21
11
5.5

Was nervous on the ball and often lost possession in dangerous positions. His passing was not impressive either, and was often chasing shadows.

Joaquin Larrivey
17
15
6.0

The striker was isolated for large parts of the game and struggled to break Juve's defence. Provided the cross, which lead to the equaliser, but generally could have done better.

Víctor Ibarbo
56
15
7.0

The striker had a very good first half as his physicality posed plenty of problems for Juve's backline. Played an important role in the equaliser as he forced Bonucci's poor clearance, which lead to the goal.

• Substitutions
Lorenzo Ariaudo
21
14
5.0

Came on to help in defence as Cagliari were holding on for a draw in the second period.

Moestafa El Kabir
24
15
5.0

The attacker failed to make an impact after coming on for Andrea Cossu.
