Juventus clashed with Inter Milan in a pivotal Serie A bout that culminated in a 1-1 draw as Lautaro Martinez from Inter cancelled out Dusan Vlahovic’s opener in Turin this past Sunday.
Vlahovic seized an opportunity in the 27th minute, seizing a pass from Federico Chiesa inside the box and calmly slotting the ball into the bottom corner.
Only six minutes later, Inter responded when Martinez, with a clever run into the box, took control of Marcus Thuram’s cross and angled a shot into the near post.
The outcome maintains Inter’s position atop the table with 32 points, with Juventus closely following in second place with 30 points, both teams having played 13 matches each.
Speaking to DAZN, Inter’s manager, Simone Inzaghi, acknowledged the challenge of scoring against Juventus, especially after they took the lead. He praised the team’s concentration and the quality of their equalizer. Despite a less eventful second half, he valued the hard-earned point against a strong Juventus side.
Chiesa had an early opportunity for Juventus but fired over the bar, while Inter’s Hakan Calhanoglu narrowly missed with a daring long-range attempt.
Both teams probed for weaknesses in their opponents’ defenses in the second half, but the match became increasingly tense as neither side managed to break through.
The crowd expressed dissatisfaction when Juan Cuadrado, who recently joined Inter after eight years at Juventus, entered the field late in the game.
Juve’s manager, Massimiliano Allegri, acknowledged a lapse in defense after conceding a goal shortly after their opener. He highlighted Inter’s proficiency when exploiting spaces. Allegri emphasized the team’s need for solidity and aggression while acknowledging an improved sense of balance compared to earlier games.
Looking ahead, Juventus will face Monza next Friday, while Inter gears up for a Champions League clash against Benfica before visiting Napoli on December 3rd.
