Turin-Juventus 0-0 LIVE
Under the Mole the defenses are in command, the derby between Toro and Juve ends 0-0. Vlahovic devours two huge opportunities in the first half and in the second half the grenades come out, in the end they end with a point each: Juric’s bid for Europe is still stuck, Allegri is on his fifth away match in a row without success. Juric chooses Sanabria to partner Zapata, in defense he reserves some surprises: Tameze and Rodriguez are the wingers with Buongiorno in the center, the left-handed winger is Vojvoda with Bellanova on the opposite out. In midfield, however, the Linetty-Ricci duo is confirmed and Vlasic plays the attacking midfielder. Allegri only has Milik in the pits and can field the best Juve possible: Chiesa and Vlahovic are the front tandem, the former Bremer man leads the rearguard with Gatti and Danilo and Cambiaso and Kostic are always in the lanes, with the McKennie-Locatelli trio -Rabiot in the median.
The sparks from the derby begin already in the night, when the Bianconeri Drughi choose Superga, a sacred place for Toro and for the Granata since 1949 with the tragedy of Grande Torino, to display three teasing banners. “The lack of respect towards places of historical memory and gratuitous insults in institutional places are both manifestations that we condemn and which speak for themselves” was the harsh condemnation of Juve on official channels. On the pitch, the Bianconeri started off strong, the first sensational opportunity occurred already in the 7th minute: Chiesa escaped Tameze and put it in the middle, Vlahovic only had to push in but hit the post and ate up the lead. Then the Mole derby becomes surly and without great intuition, with Allegri managing to harness Juric by blocking his best solutions, with Bellanova contained by Kostic and Zapata “tangled” by Bremer. In the Toro area, however, Vlahovic always has too much freedom and on the half hour he has another huge scoring opportunity, this time it is Milinkovic-Savic who saves the Granata. The home team ended the first half without a shot on target, Vlasic’s only attempt following a cross from Bellanova went wide. At the end the cards arrive from referee Maresca, who punishes Gatti’s dangerous play on Buongiorno and the blatant protests of Ricci and Vojvoda, with Juric who is only warned verbally. The second half begins without changes, Zapata immediately makes Grande Torino’s almost 28 thousand explode but the joy does not last long because a foul by Bellanova on Kostic is recognised. It’s a more lively and courageous Toro, enough to scare Szczesny with Sanabria’s header blocked by the Pole. We don’t see much of Juve, Allegri tries to revitalize them midway through the second half with Iling-Junior and Yildiz replacing Kostic and Chiesa. The Turkish gem enters well and engages Milinkovic-Savic, the Serbian is good at spreading out and blocking. Juric changes with ten minutes to go and inserts Okereke and Lazaro, his colleague plays his last cards Kean and Alex Sandro but the derby is not unblocked. The last great opportunity is for Lazaro, who wastes it from a good position. In the 7′ of added time the tempers of the Granata bench flared up, Juric was sent off for protesting and his deputy Paro was also booked. Toro also closes the door against Juve but it is another setback in the race for Europe, for the Bianconeri it is another half-step misstep in the Champions League mission.
