Juventus returns to celebrate at the Stadium, interrupting a difficult period characterized by three draws in the last four home games. With a convincing victory in the derby against Torino, the Bianconeri are back on track, while the Granata continue to live a dark moment, recording seven defeats in the last eight games. The situation is further complicated for president Cairo, who has now accumulated 24 defeats in 31 derbies against Juventus.
Thiago Motta lines up Perin between the posts and proposes Savona as right back. Weah, Koopmeiners and Yildiz support Vlahovic, while in midfield there are Locatelli and Thuram. On the other side, Vanoli does not recover Adams and opts for a 3-5-1-1 with Vlasic supporting the striker Sanabria. Tension surrounding the derby has been palpable since the previous night, when violent clashes between fans took place in the Gran Madre area. The police identified some of the participants and made an arrest during the investigation.
At the Stadium, Juventus started with great intensity. Despite Torino’s efforts to keep the defense solid, the Bianconeri’s lead came in the 18th minute: Cambiaso found space on the right and served Weah who scored easily. Torino struggled to create opportunities, with Vlasic and Sanabria too isolated. In the second half, Vanoli tries to change the outcome by replacing Ilic with Gineitis. However, Toro fails to capitalize on the corners won. At 64°, Ricci leaves the field for Njie while Vojvoda replaces Walukiewicz. Weah’s doubling is disallowed for a handball, but shortly after Thiago Motta sends Conceicao on to replace Vlahovic. The Portuguese immediately became the protagonist, serving Yildiz for 2-0, with the latter celebrating by dedicating the goal to his idol Del Piero on his fiftieth birthday. With this victory, Juventus moves closer to the top of the table, now just one point behind Napoli and level with Inter. Torino faces growing protests from their fans as the margin over the relegation zone narrows further.
This victory for Juventus in the derby represents not only an important revenge but also a morale boost for the upcoming challenges. For Torino, however, it is essential to reverse the trend and regain the trust of their supporters before it is too late in the season.
