Juventus returned to winning ways in the most important moment, securing a 2-0 victory over Milan in a pivotal battle for the top spots. Thiago Motta’s side, after a challenging period, built on their positive display in Bergamo and reasserted themselves in the race for fourth place with a mature and commanding performance against a Milan team that faded in the second half.
The first half was a balanced affair, with both teams creating opportunities. Milan threatened through Leao and Theo Hernandez, while Juventus responded with long-range attempts from Mbangula and Koopmeiners. Maignan, despite struggling with a physical issue, made key saves to keep the game goalless at halftime.
In the second half, Juventus shifted gears. After Yildiz left the pitch due to injury, replaced by Weah, the Bianconeri exploited the spaces left by Milan’s increasingly disorganized defense. Mbangula broke the deadlock with a precise shot, deflected by Emerson, leaving Maignan with no chance. Shortly after, Weah doubled the lead with a powerful diagonal strike, following an excellent setup by Thuram and capitalizing on Tomori’s defensive lapses.
Milan failed to mount a meaningful response, and Juventus controlled the remainder of the game with composure. This victory, marked by efficiency and confidence, could be a turning point in the Bianconeri’s season. Thiago Motta’s team now looks ahead with renewed optimism as they prepare for the challenges to come.
