On Sunday, Inter Milan won a crucial 1-0 match over Juventus at the Allianz Stadium. The victory is a watershed moment in the Scudetto race in Serie A.
Inter Milan’s victory, which came thanks to a retaken penalty by Hakan Calhanoglu in first-half stoppage time, keeps Inter in contention for the title, while Juventus is no longer in contention.
On Sunday, Juventus suffered their first Serie A defeat in 2022. Since losing to Atalanta in November, Juve had gone undefeated in the league.
Meanwhile, Calhanoglu’s penalty gives Simone Inzaghi a crucial win after a difficult period,
and it might be a fresh start that gives Inter a lift heading into the final months of the season. AC Milan, Napoli, and Inter Milan are now competing for the Scudetto.
Juventus fared better in the first half of the game, which was stressful to say the least. Lautaro Martinez received his first yellow card only one minute after the game began,
when he mistakenly kicked Manuel Locatelli in the face. Locatelli, a Juventus midfielder, was forced to leave after he was unable to continue.
Watch the unbelievable goal of Inter Milan against Juventus!!
Juventus got off to a better start and created a number of opportunities, particularly through attackers Dusan Vlahovi and Paulo Dybala.
Juventus’ greatest chance to take the lead came when Giorgio Chellini’s shot hit the crossbar.
The second half began similarly to the first, with Juventus pushing for an equaliser. In the early parts of the second half,
both Dybala and Dusan Vlahovi had chances that they failed to convert. Denis Zakaria, however, got the closest to equalising in the 73rd minute.
After the tiniest of touches by Inter goalkeeper Samir Handanovic,
Zakaria’s shot smacked the post.
The last minutes of the game were relatively peaceful in comparison to the events of the first half, and Inter emerged with a 1-0 victory.
