Federico Gatti's late goal prevented Juventus from suffering defeat at their home ground in Turin on Sunday, as the Serie A heavyweights played out a 1-1 stalemate with visiting AC Milan.
Cisse, the young AC Milan forward, had given the Rossoneri the lead earlier in the match. The teenage sensation's opener appeared to have set Milan on course for a winning result on the road.
However, Juventus refused to surrender, and brought Gatti off the bench for the closing stages. The centre-back's timely intervention in front of goal earned the hosts a crucial equaliser, denying Milan what would have been a significant away victory.
The draw leaves both clubs with a point apiece from the encounter, maintaining their positions in the competitive Serie A standings.
