However, Juventus remain unbeaten in Serie A.
Atalanta moved level on points with second-placed Inter Milan, who have played two matches less, and four points behind Serie A leaders Napoli.
Juventus took the lead in Bergamo in the 54th minute following great play by Weston McKennie. The US midfielder ran on to a long ball, then played a perfectly weighted pass for Pierre Kalulu to fire past Marco Carnesecchi at the near post.
Kalulu had come incredibly close to scoring moments earlier when his header bounced off the inside of the far post and rolled across the line before Carnesecchi managed to claw it away.
Television replays showed that only a few millimetres were still on the line, with about 98 per cent of the ball having gone over.
Mateo Retegui made his comeback in the 65th minute after several weeks out with injury, and the league’s top scorer headed Atalanta level 13 minutes later with his 13th league goal of the season.
