Torino-Juve 1-1: goals at Yildiz e Vlasic

The derby of goals from number 10s and restless benches ends 1-1. Another match compared to the first leg. A Turin always in the game with Vlasic equalized one minute before the break, sending Juve back into the drawing tunnel (this is the twelfth in the league) and leaving them three points away from fourth place.

Toro plays like a mirror on the pitch but with Vlasic on the same line as Adams Vanoli proposes a 4-4-2; Motta, on the other hand, does not abandon the 4-2-3-1, he launches Douglas Luiz from the first minute in front of the defense with Thuram and Nico in the role of Vlahovic. The match is one to win for both, but above all it is a derby and it heats up immediately, three minutes are enough for the first commotion near the Toro bench which splashes against McKennie, who went to look for a ball there to resume the game soon when there was still a grenade player on the ground. Sparks, then subsided, but the climate remains hot anyway and Vanoli soon finds himself without a jacket. He gives directions, he despairs, and so does Motta who in some situations seems to literally control his team, like when the Vlasic-Adams tandem tried to get dangerously close to Di Gregorio. Ball too long. A minute passes, it’s the 8th minute, and the situation is reversed, Yildiz (19 years and 252 days) scores the opening goal after a trick on Sosa who doesn’t close it and becomes the third youngest player ever to score in both derbies in a season. The last Juventus player to punish Toro in the first and second legs was Cristiano Ronaldo, six seasons ago. The Turk therefore replies with his tongue, brings Motta forward but now comes the difficult part for a team that has no difficulty in taking the lead but is difficult to maintain it. Toro’s first real chance comes after a quarter of an hour with Linetty but he shoots very high. However, Toro is certainly there but Nico Gonzalez makes him tremble when he beats Milinkovic Savic: the goal is disallowed for offside. Then Gatti touches the post and the Lady pushes again even if the understanding between Yildiz and the Argentine false 9 still needs to be refined. It’s impossible to have lapses in concentration, but Juve enters the changing rooms before Toro and first, in the 45th minute, it’s Ricci who, under the eyes of Spalletti in the stands, kicks a very inviting ball very high from the edge of the area, then, in the first minute of injury time, Vlasic takes care of sending everyone to half-time at 1-1. Thuram in front of him doesn’t block him, he kicks and the ball first kisses the post and then goes in. Crazy race towards Vanoli, rough and liberating hugs: Toro took it back.

a point and a red each

After the break, Toro returns to the pitch and sees red. He advances and attacks with his head down under Maratona, he grows in intensity (even too much when Coco brings down Nico Gonzalez in the area) then Maripan tries to score the goal of his career with a semi-overhead kick but the shot at the end is rather central and Di Gregorio is there And. Then Karamoh also tries. Juve tries to come out and in the 55th minute they have their first chance, it’s a shame that Yildiz and Nico Gonzalez try to finish at the same time, a bit like Holly and Benji, and in the end they cancel each other out. Time to return to the other side of the pitch and Savona’s slide from behind on Karamoh at the edge of the area heats up the benches to such an extent that the protests become an almost brawl between coaches which ends with a red card directed at both. The derby without guides continues and anything can happen. But Milinkovic Savic is too careful to be surprised and rejects Koopmeiners, Weah (immediately dangerous as soon as he entered) and Yildiz. In the 81st minute it’s Lazaro who shoots very high from outside, wasting a counterattack triggered by Adams, four minutes later Cambiaso – who also recently took over – tries but Milinkovic is there again. And the derby ends in a draw: Vlasic takes the Bianconeri back, Yildiz’s goal isn’t enough for the Lady.
