Joao Cancelo, another Juve debutant, dived in on  Giaccherini to concede the penalty and the midfielder took the spot-kick himself  to put Chievo ahead.Trailing in the game seemed to galvanise Ronaldo and, after  heading straight at Sorrentino, he unleashed a terrific effort from range that  the Chievo keeper had to palm away.   Only a brilliant last-ditch intervention from Fabrizio Cacciatore then denied  Ronaldo, but his side did level when Bani put into his own net when trying to  deal with Juve's returning defender Bonucci at a neat-post corner.   A dramatic finish then unfolded as Juve were denied a Mandzukic goal that was  initially awarded. Replays showed the ball struck the back of Ronaldo's arm  before he collided with Sorrentino, who was laid out when the ball looped up for  Mandzukic to head home.   But Juve did net a winner as Bernardeschi scored past substitute goalkeeper  Andrea Seculin, much to Ronaldo's delight.</blockquote>
