Juventus secured a 2-0 win against AC Milan, propelling them into Serie A’s top four and extending their unbeaten streak to 21 games.
In a pivotal Serie A match at Juventus Stadium, the home side broke the deadlock in the 59th minute when Belgian winger Samuel Mbangula’s shot deflected off the crossbar and into the net. Shortly after, in the 64th minute, Timothy Weah doubled the lead, capitalizing on a defensive lapse from Milan.
This victory elevates Juventus to fourth place with 37 points, marking them as one of the only unbeaten teams in Europe’s top five leagues, alongside Paris Saint-Germain. Conversely, AC Milan, under new manager Sergio Conceiçao, suffered their first defeat and now sit in eighth place with 31 points, holding a game in hand.
Juventus head coach Thiago Motta praised his team’s consistent performance, highlighting their improved technical play and defensive solidity compared to previous matches. The Bianconeri’s defense showcased resilience, achieving their fourth consecutive clean sheet against Milan in Serie A.
Milan faced challenges with the absence of their top scorer, Christian Pulisic, due to injury, and striker Álvaro Morata, who was suspended. This led to opportunities for players like Tammy Abraham and Yunus Musah to step into the starting lineup.
The match’s outcome underscores Juventus’s dominance and strategic prowess, as they continue their pursuit of the Serie A title.
