Match report: Juve records their first away victory in “Derby della Mole”
Juventus have bounced back with a victory against their local rivals, Torino, in game week 10 of the Serie A.
It was a tight affair in Derby della Mole between the teams from Torino, but the visitors succeeded to record their 1st away victory this season at the expense of their neighbors.
Dusan Vlahovic’s strike in the 74th minutes proved to be the only goal and the winning goal for the visitors, to ease the pressure on the struggling Old Lady this season.
Man of the match:
It was a stunning performance by Dušan Vlahović, the only goal scorer of the game and the player with the most duels (15) winning 10 of them (which is also the most), the most shoots (6), the most shoots on target (4) and created two scoring chances.
Disappointing Performance:
Torino attacker, Nemanja Radonjić, had a poor game, the Serbian winger failed to shoot on target (out of three attempts) with zero successful dribble, zero accurate cross (out of 6 attempts) and zero key passes.
Match Facts:
