Game Highlights:
Juventus commenced the match energetically, displaying purposeful attacking intent in their quest for the opening goal. In the 15th minute, Federico Chiesa found himself in a prime position inside the penalty area but narrowly missed the top left corner with his subsequent shot, curling just over the bar.
In the 26th minute, Juventus deservedly seized the lead through a splendid combination between Chiesa and strike partner Dusan Vlahovic. Vlahovic orchestrated a pass around the corner to find Chiesa, who then delivered a pull-back cross. Vlahovic raced into the box, calmly slotting the ball into the bottom right corner.
The lead, however, was short-lived as Inter responded with a remarkable team goal five minutes later. A sweeping move down the right flank culminated in Marcus Thuram delivering the ball to Lautaro Martinez at the near post. Serie A’s leading goalscorer clinically finished, drilling the ball into the far bottom corner to level the scores.
In the second half, Juventus notably retreated into their defensive third, allowing Inter to dominate possession. This tactical adjustment made the second half less eventful, with Inter retaining possession but struggling to trouble Juventus’ deep defensive line.
