UPDATE 1-Soccer-Chiesa sent off on debut as Juve held at Crotone

(Adds details)
CROTONE, Italy, Oct 17 (Reuters) - Juventus winger Federico
Chiesa was sent off on his debut and the Serie A champions also
had a goal disallowed by VAR for offside by the tiniest of
margins as they were held to a 1-1 draw at promoted Crotone on
Saturday.
Chiesa, signed from Fiorentina during the recent transfer
window, was given a straight red card for a studs-up challenge
on Luca Cigarini on the hour before Morata's goal was chalked
off after a three-minute delay because his heel was offside.
Juventus were missing Cristiano Ronaldo after he tested
positive for COVID-19 on Tuesday while Gianluigi Buffon, their
second choice keeper, became the first player to make 650 Serie
A appearances.
Juve, chasing a 10th straight title, have eight points from
four games while Crotone picked up their first point.
Crotone started well and Simy put them ahead after 12
minutes, the Nigerian sending 42-year-old Buffon the wrong way
from the penalty spot after a foul by Leonardo Bonucci on
Arkadiusz Reca.
Chiesa provided an assist for Juve's equaliser nine minutes
later as he ran on to Dejan Kulusevski's through ball and laid
it off for Morata to score from close range.
Pedro Pereira tested Buffon again just before the break
while Manolo Portanova was denied by Alex Cordaz at the other
end.
Juve's evening began to unravel with Chiesa's dismissal. The
22-year-old lifted his studs dangerously as Cigarini came into
tackle him and was immediately sent off amid Juve protests.
Morata then saw his header hit the inside of the post before
having what he thought was the winner chalked off.
Juan Cuadrado weaved his way past two defenders and his weak
shot was deflected in by Morata but VAR officials disallowed it
to the delight of the 1,000 fans allowed into the ground.
Seven minutes of stoppage time were added but, by then,
Crotone seemed happy with the draw.
