With summaryDusan Vlahovic has once again helped Juventus achieve success. The striker scored the only goal in the city derby against Torino (0-1). The Serb reacted attentively in the 74th minute after Danilo had extended a corner with his head. Later in the evening, Teun Koopmeiners and Marten de Roon secured the lead with Atalanta for at least one day. The home game against Sassuolo was won 2-1.
Juventus climbed to a provisional seventh place in the Serie A ranking with the victory. Leader Atalanta has 8 points more, while Napoli will have another chance to take the lead tomorrow. Juventus was ready for a win again. The club lost to Maccabi Haifa on Tuesday in the Champions League (2-0). Last week AC Milan was also 2-0 too strong.
Trainer Massimiliano Allegri has been criticized in recent weeks for Juventus’ poor start to the competition. However, the management of the club from Turin still has confidence in the Italian coach. Juventus was stronger than Perr Schuurs’ Torino, which was kept afloat for a long time by Vanja Milinkovic-Savic. The goalkeeper reacted excellently before half-time to attempts by Vlahovic, Manuel Locatelli and Moise Kean. In the opening phase of the second half, he tapped a shot from Locatelli over the goal.
