Sporting target scores in Turin derby, hurts Juventus' Champions League bid | OneFootball

Juventus ended their Serie A season with a 2-2 draw against Torino, in a Turin derby marked by high tension. Dusan Vlahovic stood out with two goals, but Luciano Spalletti’s side were ultimately unable to hold on to their lead. Cesare Casadei, a Sporting target, scored one of Il Toro’s goals.

The start of the match was overshadowed by incidents outside the stadium, after a fan was left in serious condition, allegedly following the use of tear gas. The situation sparked protests, and there were even calls for the match to be suspended, prolonging the uncertainty before kick-off.

On the pitch, Juventus were more clinical in the first half and made it 1-0 in the 25th minute, with Vlahovic finishing off a move by Thuram. In the second half, the Serbian striker scored again in the 54th minute, this time after an assist from Francisco Conceição.

Despite their lead, Torino responded and managed to level the match. Cesare Casadei pulled one back with a header in the 59th minute, and Che Adams made it 2-2 in the 85th, sealing the final result. Juventus therefore end the season with a bitter draw and missed out on qualification for the Champions League, having finished sixth with 69 points, two behind Como (71), who placed fourth.

This season, playing for Torino, Cesare Casadei – valued at €14 million – made 37 appearances: 33 in Serie A and four in the Coppa Italia. In total, across the 2,191 minutes he spent on the pitch, the midfielder scored seven goals.
