At the start of the 28th round of "Serie A", the footballers of Turin's "Juventus" and "Milan" met on the field.
Playing at home, the "bianconeri" were considered the favorites of this match, their opponents had already proven themselves capable of posing a serious threat to Massimiliano Allegri's students both in the league and in the fight for the country's super cup.
"Juve" started the match playing a bit more actively and it paid off already in the middle of the first half, when a goal after Dani Alves' pass was scored by defender Medhi Benatia. However, the score was equalized before halftime by Carlos Bacca and the hosts had to look for a way to the opponents' goal again.
In the second half of the match, the "bianconeri" also seemed more dangerous in attack, but they couldn't score any goals. One of the crucial moments of the match was the second yellow card received by Jose Sosa in added time, after which "Milan" had to hold on with ten players.
Although there were only a few minutes left, the referee allowed to play a bit longer instead of the added four minutes. Despite several dangerous attempts by Gonzalo Higuain, the "rossoneri" managed to resist, but ultimately a handball in the penalty area by Mattia De Sciglio led to Paulo Dybala extending the victory from the penalty spot.
The leaders of the league table left the "fashion capital" club in seventh place.
