🧨 Torino fightback: 2-0 to 2-2, Juve in EL! Locatelli hit 💥, flop ⚪⚫
An incredible derby between Torino and Juve ntus, which on a surreal night— with the match kicking off 1 hour late due to clashes that injured a fan and the protest from Juventus supporters (who left the away section) — ended 2-2.
Juventus, 2 goals ahead, went into the second half already knowing their fate: the Bianconeri are not in the Champions League and, after being pegged back, they did not even win the Derby della Mole. Torino, showing true Granata heart, came back after Vlahovic's brace thanks to goals from Casadei and Adams.

🚀 Casadei pulls one back, Adams equalizes! Ball blasted at Locatelli
The derby heated up after the equalizer, and Ebosse blasted the ball at Locatelli, sparking a mini-brawl, with the Torino defender and Zhegrova booked.
Torino are playing better and, after Casadei's goal, the equalizer arrives too! In the 84th minute, again from a corner, Perin makes a save but the ball falls to Adams, who—helped by a deflection—beats the Juventus keeper for the second time.
Torino get back into the game through Cesare Casadei, who pulls one back with a header: Juventus were careless as Cambiaso and Gatti lost track of the Inter academy product.
🧨 Juve double their lead: it's always Vlahovic
Juventus make it 2-0 on the counter: Conceição surges forward and picks out Vlahovic, who with his right foot wrong-foots Paleari and scores his first brace since September 28, 2024.
❗ "Pointless" second half: Juve are out of the Champions League
Juventus are out of the Champions League. The Bianconeri will play the second half only for pride. Roma and Como are in the Champions League, Juventus and Milan (in positions still to be defined) in the Europa League.
⚡ Vlahovic scores again: feint and finish
Juventus take the lead in the 24th minute thanks to Dusan Vlahovic . The Serbian receives the ball in the box after a fine move by Thuram , turns and shoots, getting the decisive deflection. The Bianconeri are now hoping.
When Juve open the scoring, they never lose: from 21 such matches, they have recorded 18 wins and 3 draws.
😤 Gatti scare: Juve chance
In the 17th minute came the first big chance: Boga 's corner, Vlahovic's flick, and the ball falls to Gatti. The defender, just a few centimeters from the line, does not connect properly and sends it wide.

Gatti went over to speak with the fans, who from the stands are chanting protest slogans to make sure the match is not played.
Juventus CEO Damien Comolli spoke to DAZN before the derby. Here are his words.
"Tension before the match? No, let me explain. It's not a confrontation with Locatelli, one of our supporters is in hospital in serious condition and they were trying to understand whether the match could be played or not. But the game is not at risk, it will be played. We will go visit the fan after the match."

We have to win and it is very important for the fans, the club and the players. There is no plan A or B, there is only one plan. We want to build a team to win in the future, regardless of whether we are in the Champions League or not. Nothing changes. The responsibility belongs to everyone, and at the club we know that. And the main person responsible is certainly me. It will be important to understand what did not work. We know it, it is very clear both to Spalletti and to the ownership.
Now we want to build a strong team with Spalletti and with a clear identity. What has Juventus lacked most? Many things, we are sixth. So several things have not worked. There are different problems, but the important thing is to analyze them together. In any case, for us the things that need to change are very clear."
💥 Clashes between ultras: police intervene
As mentioned, law enforcement intervened before the match on the streets of Turin, where Torino and Juventus ultras came into contact. As reported by La Stampa, Police used tear gas to disperse the violence.
Firecrackers, broken bottles and stones were thrown.
