Il Milan overcomes with some anxiety in the final Turin (3 to 2) and returns to second place in the standings, 5 points behindInter who this evening is expected to face the difficult away match of Florence. Juve, on the other hand, are disappointing as they stumble against the decimated Sassuolo, a penalty with the captain missing in the final Locatelli and does not go beyond the draw (1 to 1) risking moving away from the zone Champions, considering that it is the Just like that the Rome they still have to play.
Milan recovered from their slip-up against Lazio and returned to winning ways at San Siro, defeating a Torino side well-organized by coach D'Aversa. It seemed easy for the Rossoneri, who took the lead in the 37th minute through Pavlovic, but Simeone put them on edge by equalizing in the 44th minute. Rabiot then stepped up to restore Milan's lead in the 54th minute, followed by Fofana in the 56th. It seemed like the game was over, but Torino reopened the game in the 83rd minute with a well-taken penalty from Vlasic. Allegri had a tense final few minutes, but he still managed to secure the three points.
That wasn't the case in Turin, where Juve had the great regret of failing to beat a Sassuolo side decimated by whooping cough but well-organized by former player Fabio Grosso. Juve took the lead in the 14th minute through Yildiz (his tenth goal), well-placed by Conceicao, the best Bianconeri player on the pitch. It seemed all done, Juve dominated, but the Emilians never lost heart, and Muric excelled in goal. Sassuolo then pulled off an unexpected equalizer in the 52nd minute through Pinamonti, well-placed by captain Berardi. Spalletti tried everything to break through Sassuolo's defensive wall, and in the closing stages he also brought on Vlahovic and Milik, returning after months of injury. Vlahovic indirectly earned a penalty in the 87th minute, but captain Locatelli spectacularly missed it. In the end, it was a 1-1 draw, but a missed opportunity for the Bianconeri, who climb to fourth place but must contend with Como, who face Pisa at home at lunchtime, and Roma, who host Lecce this afternoon. If Como and Roma win, it will be painful for Juve, and the Champions League spot risks slipping away, ruining the season and impacting the upcoming transfer window.
