After several actions against his team involuntarily since the start of the season, Matthijs de Ligt appeared to break the deadlock in the Turin derby: with a quick reaction, he scored his first goal as a Juventus player and the 1-0 against Torino in Serie A.
In a tight game as Italian classics usually are, the team led by Maurizio Sarri managed to open the scoring through a set piece. The most expensive defender in the history of Italian football took advantage of a rebound to put it in the net and the roar of excitement echoed in the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino.
Matthijs de Ligt scored his first goal in the 'Derby' between Juventus and Torino in Serie A
A goal from Cristiano Ronaldo gave Juventus a last-minute victory (2-1) in their recent Serie A match against Genoa. The Portuguese forward scored his fifth goal of the season and helped the Old Lady reach the top, with 26 points.
Now, Sarri's team faces the derby against Torino, the most important match of the year for the Granata. Even more so after five consecutive matches without earning three points, which puts head coach Walter Mazzarri's continuity in serious doubt.
The Turin club has a one-point lead over Inter Milan, who, after winning 2-1 at Brescia's field last Tuesday, will have another tough away match, this time at Bologna, home to Argentine Rodrigo Palacio and Paraguayan Federico Santander.
