TURIN (ITALPRESS) – Nothing happened between Juventus and Milan in the match of the 34th matchday played in the afternoon in Turin. The long-awaited match at the Allianz Stadium between third and second in the league ended goalless after 90 minutes, well below expectations. Two teams who also confirmed on this occasion the reversal of the trend of recent times and an overall rather low level of quality. A draw that could especially make the chasing teams happy in the race for the next Champions League. The first half was decidedly lacking in emotion. Lots of balance but few emotions and even fewer scoring opportunities. The only one worthy of note was the one in full injury time when, on a free kick, Vlahovic called for a save on Sportiello’s post, which he deflected for a corner. Overall, Milan’s defense held up well despite the emergency, while the addition of Yildiz in place of Chiesa did not produce the threat in the first part of the match that the Juventus fans had hoped for with the presence of the Turkish talent on the pitch . The pace was decidedly low, Juventus were slightly more proactive but Milan controlled the match with more careful ball possession. The second half was a little more lively and the Rossoneri goalkeeper was once again the great protagonist at the start: in the 5th minute, Sportiello, on the pitch due to the injury suffered by Maignan during the warm-up, first denied the goal on Kostic’s shot from a tight shot so it was He was also able to stop Danilo’s subsequent tap-in. Only in the 21st minute did the first notable opportunity for Milan arrive with a long-range shot by Loftus-Cheek that went not far to Szczesny’s right. Allegri tried to give a little more liveliness to the Juventus attack and Juventus became dangerous again in the 28th minute with the newly introduced Chiesa and Milik: the former skipped past Musah and crossed into the center for the head of the latter who called the AC Milan goalkeeper to save with a low catch. The final was still Juventus-led but, in the 41st minute after McKennie’s header which was not held back by Sportiello, it was Thiaw who saved from Rabiot, while a few moments later Milik’s header missed the big target.
