Juventus defeats Milan 2-0 at Allianz Stadium on Saturday evening, securing a vital win in the 21st week of the Italian Serie A. This victory was particularly sweet for Juventus, as they avenged their 2-1 loss to Milan in the Italian Super Cup two weeks ago. With this result, Juventus inflicted Milan’s first defeat under their new coach, Sergio Conceicao.
Juventus Takes Control in Turin
The match started with both teams exchanging possession of the ball, but it was Juventus who came out more aggressive. In the seventh minute, Juventus winger Samuel Mbangula fired a shot over the bar. Not long after, Teun Koopmeiners launched a powerful long-range effort that went wide.
Despite a few chances for Milan, including a near miss from Renders and a chaotic moment in the Juventus penalty area, Milan was unable to break the deadlock in the first half. Goalkeeper Di Gregorio made crucial saves, and the Juventus defence held firm.
Mbangula and Weah Deliver the Win for Juventus
In the second half, Juventus continued to apply pressure. The breakthrough came in the 59th minute when Mbangula scored after receiving a pass from Gonzalez. The ball deflected off Milan’s Emerson, giving Maignan no chance to save it. Just five minutes later, substitute Timothy Weah doubled the lead, finishing off a pass from Thuram with a skilful shot to Maignan’s left.
Milan’s Response Falls Short in the Second Half
Milan struggled to respond throughout the second half. Their only real attempt came in the 79th minute, with Theo’s long-range effort going wide. Juventus dominated the match and kept Milan at bay, with Maignan almost conceding a third goal in the final minute, but Vlahovic’s shot went wide.
Juve Moves to Fourth in Serie A Standings
With this victory, Juventus climbed to fourth place in Serie A with 37 points. Milan, on the other hand, remains in eighth place with 31 points. Juventus has now proven their strength in both domestic and international competitions, despite Milan’s earlier success this season.
