The clash at the top of Serie A which pitted Juventus against Inter Milan on Sunday did not allow the top two in the standings to decide between themselves (1-1, 13th day). The Milanese remain two units ahead of the Bianconeri.

The term “good draw” is not usurped to describe the match that Juventus and Inter Milan offered this Sunday to the public at the Allianz Stadium in Turin (1-1, 13th day). Leader of the Italian championship before this Sunday clash, the Milanese club hoped to take advantage of this meeting with its direct pursuer to widen the gap, but Adrien Rabiot’s gang perfectly knew how to go the distance to offer themselves a share of points all in all. logic.

With a starting Thuram alongside Martinez, the Nerazzurri started the match well, but without finding the fault first. Because it was their opponents who were responsible for opening the scoring just before the half-hour mark, through Vlahovic (1-0, 27th). Fifth goal of the season in Serie A for the Serbian center forward who was visibly in a pinch, multiplying gestures asking certain mouths to shut.

A shot in the second half

But the party did not last long in the aisles of the Turin stadium since six minutes later, Thuram offered a caviar to Martinez whose recovery left the opposing goalkeeper no chance (1-1, 33rd). A deserved equalizer which allowed the two teams to return to the locker room with a parity score. Much less lively, the second half produced a disappointing offensive spectacle. No shot on target or not for Juventus, against a single attempt (on target) from the Milanese side.

Far too little to hope to tip the balance to one side or the other, and it is therefore back-to-back that the Old lady and Inter parted ways. In the standings, Milan therefore still remains in the lead, two points ahead of its host of the day. The first two in Serie A maintain a small margin over the third, since AC Milan is four points behind Juve.
