Juve’s Thrilling 4-3 Comeback Win Over Inter: A Derby d’Italia Classic
In a pulsating Derby d’Italia at the Allianz Stadium, Juventus staged a remarkable comeback to defeat Inter Milan 4-3, with a late thunderbolt from substitute Vasilije Adzic sealing a memorable victory. The match was a high-octane affair from start to finish, featuring seven goals, a dramatic turnaround, and a family subplot as brothers Khephren and Marcus Thuram scored for opposing sides.
The action began early when Juventus took the lead through Kelly in the 14th minute, but Inter responded with a Calhanoglu penalty just after the half-hour mark. The see-saw continued as Yildiz restored Juve’s advantage before halftime, only for Calhanoglu to equalize again in the 65th minute. Inter then seemed to seize control when Marcus Thuram put them ahead in the 76th minute, but Juventus refused to wilt.
With the clock ticking down, Khephren Thuram leveled the score in the 83rd minute, setting the stage for Adzic’s stunning strike in the 91st minute to complete the comeback. The victory was a testament to Juventus’s resilience and attacking prowess, with Yildiz once again proving to be the key man, as he had been in a pre-season friendly against Chelsea in Hong Kong.
The match also highlighted the tactical battle between the two coaches, with Juventus deploying a 3-4-2-1 formation that allowed them to push forward relentlessly. The win keeps Juventus in the hunt for the Serie A title, while Inter will rue missed opportunities in a match that will be remembered as one of the season’s most thrilling encounters.
