Torino vs Juventus
TORINO, Italy (Interstat) — Juventus and Torino played to a 2-2 draw Sunday in a Serie A match at Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino.
Dušan Vlahović scored twice for Juventus, opening the scoring in the 24th minute and doubling the lead in the 54th. Vlahović entered as a substitute and netted both goals to give the visitors a two-goal advantage.
Torino responded in the 60th minute when Cesare Casadei pulled one back. Che Adams leveled the match in the 84th minute, securing a point for the home side.
The match featured three yellow cards. Pierre Kalulu was booked in the 64th minute. Enzo Ebossé and Edon Zhegrova each received yellow cards in the 88th minute.
Both teams began the Serie A season with the draw. Juventus’s record in the competition stands at zero wins, zero losses and one draw. Torino’s record also is zero wins, zero losses and one draw. Across all competitions, both teams hold identical marks of zero wins, zero losses and one draw.
Juventus controlled much of the early action and capitalized on Vlahović’s finishing ability. The forward’s first goal came on a quick counterattack, and his second followed a sustained spell of pressure in the Torino half. Torino grew into the match after halftime, with Casadei’s strike from the edge of the area giving the home crowd a spark. Adams’ late equalizer came on a rebound after a corner kick, capping a determined rally by the hosts.
Defensively, both sides had lapses. Juventus goalkeeper Mattia Perin made several saves to preserve the lead before Torino’s surge. Torino goalkeeper Vanja Milinković-Savić denied a late chance from Juventus substitute Federico Chiesa to keep the score level.
The match was the first of the season for both clubs. The Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino, named after the Torino team that perished in the 1949 Superga air disaster, hosted the derby della Mole in front of a capacity crowd.
Vlahović’s performance stood out as the key individual contribution. The Serbian striker, who joined Juventus in 2022, demonstrated his poaching instincts and ability to find space in crowded penalty areas. Casadei, a young midfielder on loan from Chelsea, showed composure beyond his years with his well-taken goal. Adams, a summer signing for Torino, made an immediate impact with his late equalizer.
The match had a relatively clean tone aside from the three yellow cards. No red cards were issued. The game featured several attacking transitions, with both teams creating chances in the final 30 minutes.
