Juventus missed a chance to keep a European berth in their sights as lowly guests Chievo rallied to snatch a 2-2 draw Monday at Turin's Stadio Olimpico.
Captain Alessandro Del Piero and Alessandro Matri were on target for a 2-0 lead that Luca Rigoni and Andrea Mantovani levelled with two close goals halfway through the second half.
The Bianconeri from Turin remained in seventh position with two Serie A games left. They lie three points adrift of Roma and Lazio, who occupy the two available Europa League berths.
Fourth place, which qualifies for a preliminary round of the Champions League, is currently in the hands of Udinese, holding a five-point lead on Juve.
After Del Piero on 13 minutes converted a penalty awarded for a foul on Simone Pepe, Alberto Aquilani came close with a drive deflected by a defender and botched a deflection inside the box.
Chievo took control in midfield in the remainder of the first half, but failed to truly worry goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon despite a couple of defence blunders from the Bianconeri.
Matri seemed to have secured Juve's win off a Del Piero feed on 55 minutes and two minutes later curled a good cross for Milos Krasic, who botched an easy header before Chievo scored two goals in as many minutes.
Rigoni pulled one back with a flick after Andrea Mantovani deflected a free kick against the post and Sardo laid in from outside the area another ball that Sergio Pellissier had fired against the post.
Pellissier then graced Buffon with a wide drive on a counter- attack action and set up Colombian Fernando Uribe for an embarrassing shot into the feet of Claudio Marchisio.
The race for the title, where Juve were involved only until mid- season, was settled Saturday with AC Milan securing the title by drawing 0-0 at Roma.
Chievo are safe from relegation worries as they moved seven points clear of the three-team drop zone.
