Day 29 of Italian football brought with it one of the best classics in the country. Juventus visited Torino in the popularly called ‘Derby della Mole’. Despite having a long history in their favor, Andrea Pirlo’s men were in for a big surprise.
As expected, Juan Guillermo Cuadrado started the Bianconero team and played the entire match. The local team also played the Paraguayan Antonio Sanabria, figure of the party, and the Venezuelan Tomás Rincón.
The first of the game came with great controversy. Just eight minutes into the game, Matthijs de Ligt, recklessly, stole the ball from Andrea Belotti inside the area. The clash between the two players was extremely strong, which is why everything stopped while the VAR analyzed, but in the end nothing was sanctioned.
While the owners of the house claimed the possible penalty, the visit took the opportunity to hit first. At minute 12, Federico Chiesa, brightly current, ran a deep ball, received inside the area and defined between the legs of goalkeeper Salvatore Sirigu.
Despite the goal against, the homeowners did not lower their arms and maintained their intensity in offensive defense. That much going back and forth would be rewarded at minute 27, when Rolando Mandragora took a low shot from outside the area that was saved by Wojciech Szczęsny and Antonio Sanabria capitalized on the rebound.
With the scoreboard again in a draw, Juventus gradually seized possession, but found no loopholes to violate the visiting gate. Square and Alex Sandro were constantly used on the wings and the approaches reached up to three quarters of the pitch. The wall was impenetrable.
At minute 42, the visit almost got the advantage again. Cuadrado raised a precise center from the right, Morata anticipated everyone, headed against the grass and Sirigu saved masterfully.
The second part could not start in a worse way for the eleventh ‘bianconero’. Barely 20 seconds later, Sanabria drove freely on the left, unleashing a powerful shot at the near post from Szczęsny and Szczęsny was unable to evacuate the danger. The owner of the house was going up.
Cristiano Ronaldo finally appeared. At minute 52, Dejan Kulusevski lifted a cross from the right side, the Portuguese headed in a great way and Sirigu with the tips of his fingers sent the ball to the corner kick. Experienced Italian’s cutoff.
Fifteen later, CR7 returned to generate danger with a header, coming from Alex Sandro, which went slightly off track. Juventus abused a bit of the pitch and passing game, it lacked a greater community.
At 79 ‘the clearest would come for the visitors, from the hand of Cristiano who put the team on his shoulder. Center from the left zone, the same as the whole game, Giorgio Chiellini combed it at the near post and the Portuguese star equalized the score.
In the first instance everything was canceled of course out of place, but from the VAR they reviewed the play and after several minutes they validated the tying goal.
Three minutes later the third Juventine almost arrives. Rodrigo Betancur tried his luck with a long shot, Sirigu touched it and the ball ended up crashing into his left post. Clean and jerk of the visit.
In the 89th minute, Torino used the same tactic as his rival and narrowly won it. Center from the right side that Sanabria connected and Szczęsny saved with just enough. And four later, Daniele Baselli made a sensational free kick that the Polish goalkeeper took from the angle.
Finally there was no time for more and the ‘Derby della Mole’ ended with an emotional tie at two. With this, Juve was left with 56 units in the fourth box of the Italian championship.
