Daniel Pablo Osvaldo's stoppage-time goal gave Fiorentina their first victory in Turin for two decades.
This has always been a bitter grudge match, but the fact both Coaches had left behind fond memories at their former clubs - Cesare Prandelli as a player and Claudio Ranieri as tactician - calmed the usually fiery atmosphere. It was third vs fourth, but many top stars were missing, including the injured Adrian Mutu, Christian Vieri and Fabio Liverani. Pavel Nedved and Giorgio Chiellini were suspended, but Cristiano Zanetti got a reprieve after his two-match ban was halved on appeal.
The Viola's last victory in Turin was on May 15, 1988. Jonathan Zebina nodded a Mauro Camoranesi weighted cross over the bar, then at the other end Gigi Buffon beat away a Mario Alberto Santana effort following Cristian Molinaro's mistake.
Fiorentina started to take control and broke the deadlock in style on 19 minutes. A series of passes between Massimo Gobbi and Martin Jorgensen cut the defence in two and Gobbi's angled drive slipped past Buffon.
The Viola were dominating this period of play in Turin and could well have made it 2-0 moments later. Jorgensen's chipped cross went over the whole defence for Riccardo Montolivo, whose close-range finish ricocheted between the inside of the upright and Buffon's body without crossing the line.
Juventus managed to scramble an equaliser with Momo Sissoko's first Serie A goal. Sebastien Frey rather messily pushed away a Raffaele Palladino free kick and the former Liverpool midfielder did brilliantly to volley in an overhead kick.
The Bianconeri had very few shots on goal, but made the most of the ones they had, as on 57 minutes Mauro Camoranesi volleyed a Molinaro cross to the back post and did well to keep the ball low.
Prandelli made a change by introducing striker Daniel Pablo Osvaldo for Tomas Ujfalusi, switching Jorgensen to a right-back role.
Kuzmanovic's right-foot strike did not surprise Buffon at the near post, but on 75 minutes substitute Ndiaye Papa Waigo made it 2-2. He had already scored against Juve last season in Serie B when he was at Cesena and did enough to shrug off his marker to place a precise angled drive right into the bottom far corner.
Vincenzo Iaquinta drilled a free kick past the upright with Frey stranded, then the goalkeeper beat away a Palladino snapshot.
In stoppages Iaquinta went into the box and wanted a penalty, but the referee waved play on for Alessandro Gamberini's challenge.
In the final seconds of stoppages, Fiorentina took a shock lead. Papa Waigo was again involved, his cross nodded in from close range by Under-21 international Osvaldo with the Juve defence caught ball-watching.
