TURIN (ITALPRESS) – A heavy victory for Juventus, which beat Inter Milan 1-0 at home and racked up its fourth consecutive success between the league and Champions League. Francisco Conceicao’s second-half goal was decisive, thus preventing Simone Inzaghi’s team from overtaking Napoli at the top of the standings, instead taking his side into fourth place. Now the Campani, at the top of Serie A, are +2 on the Nerazzurri. Fatal another Conceicao for Inter, as in the SuperCoppa.An entertaining start to the match, with Inzaghi’s team having a double chance for the 1-0 at 19′: first with Taremi, coordinated in a reverse but stopped by Di Gregorio, then with Dumfries, who on the subsequent cross by Lautaro deflects a header but not finding the goal. Juventus responded with two chances created by shots from Nico Gonzalez and Conceicao, both repelled by Sommer, who was alert and responsive. Rhythm and teams conceding spaces, as in 32′, when a Nerazzurri throw-in generated Juventus’ ball recovery and Kolo Muani’s shot, who from inside the area kicked just high. Motta’s eleven did not take advantage, then Inter went up again and with Lautaro created another danger, on the breakaway of Dumfries and the cross for the Argentine, who very free kicked first but did not frame the goal. It would then be the same Dumfries, towards the end of the first half, who had another chance, running away from Savona on the right and hitting the post on the subsequent shot.Balance and chances, with even the first phase of the second half remaining anchored at 0-0. The turning point came in 74′, however, on the ball handled in traffic in the Inter area by Kolo Muani and turned for Conceicao, lethal with his left to kick where Sommer could do nothing. Bianconeri advantage, which could become double a few minutes later, on Koopmeiners’ shot saved on the line by Dumfries. Inter, struggling and down by a goal, tried the final forcing with all its members, surrendering, however, to a solid and cynical Juventus in the management of the four minutes of recovery granted by Mariani, at the end of which the derby d’Italia ended.- photo Ipa Agency -(ITALPRESS).
