Continuation of the 20th day of Serie A this Saturday evening. Juventus “traveled” to its local rival to face Torino on the pitch at the Olimpico Grande Torino Stadium. This classic and historic Derby della Mole had a special flavor for both teams. As for the Granata, the objective of this golden poster was to stock up on points to get their heads above water and thus get closer to the race for Europe, while the management is already working on several winter reinforcements. The Biancoeri wanted to score valuable points to move up the standings and thus put pressure on the podium, while they have a game in hand. Despite around fifteen strikes from both sides and several passages of shared domination, there was no winner and the meeting was eventful (1-1).

During a match marked by several scuffles, the first of which took place barely five minutes after kick-off, the two coaches, Paolo Vanoli and Thiago Motta, were sent off shortly before the hour mark (55th) . The first period started well with the opening score of Kenan Yildiz, author of a formidable solo number and a dry strike at ground level (8th). Nico Gonzalez thought he had doubled the lead but was ultimately flagged offside (25th). And with a powerful pivotal shot, Nikola Vlasic equalized for the locals before the break (45th+1). In the ranking, Torino remains in 11th place, while Juventus consolidates its 5th position. Next weekend, the Granata will challenge Fiorentina in Tuscany, while the Bianconeri will play against Atalanta in Lombardy, during the 21st day of the Italian championship.
