Cristiano avoids the defeat of Juventus in the derby against Torino

Torino was very close to beating Juventus again six years later, however a goal by Cristiano Ronaldo prevented the ‘granata’ side from taking the ‘Derby della Mole’ (2-2).

The point saved by the Portuguese does not mask another bad match for Andrea Pirlo's team, who managed to keep fourth place but see how Naples equals him on points in the tight fight for the Champions League. In fact, the ‘bianconeri’ were on the verge of losing to a rival fighting for permanence.

Juve started without rhythm in the derby, however, before the first quarter of an hour was up, they were already leading the score thanks to a Chiesa target. The Italian rushed into the area like a thunderbolt and beat Sirigui with a low shot close to the post.

Despite their delicate qualifying situation, Torino did not shrink and took advantage of a bad rebound from Szczesny to equalize the contest. Sanabria was the smartest in the area and made the 1-1 header.

As soon as he returned from the break, the ex Betis stole a ball, put the direct and left in evidence the Juventus goalkeeper, who did not cover his stick in a new error.

Juventus turned to avoid defeat, but only knew how to entrust Cristiano Ronaldo. Powerful argument was the Portuguese, who with the suspense of the VAR got the 2-2 with ten remaining.

Pirlo's team could even win, but Sigiru brushed his fingers against a Bentancur whip that slammed into the post.

After the draw in the ‘Derby della Mole’, Juventus is still in fourth place with 56 points, while Torino is still stuck at the bottom with 24, two behind relegation.
