Juventus-Torino derby: Di Gregorio rescues the Bianconeri | OneFootball

The 211th Mole Derby ends without winners or losers. At the Allianz Stadium, the Granata and the Bianconeri finish 0-0 after an intense but uneventful match, with the goalkeepers as the main protagonists. Luciano Spalletti’s Juventus, still searching for the right identity, fails to break the deadlock, while Baroni’s Torino — led on the bench by assistant coach Colucci due to the head coach’s suspension — takes home a point that is worth its weight in gold for morale and the standings.

Juventus, Spalletti struggles to get going: another home draw

In the first half, it’s Juventus who take control of the game, maintaining possession and trying to break through with runs from Conceição and Cambiaso, but Paleari is always alert. The only real chance for Torino comes from Simeone, who forces Di Gregorio into a great save.

The second half follows the same script: the Bianconeri push forward, Torino defends in an organized manner. Spalletti tries to change the team’s face by bringing on Zhegrova and Openda, but the finishing touch in front of goal is still missing. Despite the Bianconeri’s constant presence in Baroni’s box, it’s Di Gregorio who saves his team with a stunning stop on Che Adams, avoiding a defeat that would have been costly. In the end, there remains the impression of a Juventus still under construction, capable of controlling but not striking. Torino, on the other hand, confirms its solidity and fighting spirit, snatching a draw that pleases Baroni more than Spalletti.
