Juventus snatched a dramatic 4-3 win over Inter Milan in a thrilling Serie A match, with Vasilije Adzic scoring a stunning late winner to send Juve top of the standings.
In a match that will be remembered for its intensity and drama, Juventus emerged victorious against Inter Milan, winning 4-3 in a thrilling encounter.
The home side twice took the lead, only for Hakan Calhanoglu to pull Inter level on both occasions. However, it was the hosts who ultimately prevailed, thanks to a stunning added-time winner from Vasilije Adzic.
The match got off to a flying start, with Juventus taking the lead in the 14th minute. Manuel Locatelli floated a cross towards the back post, where Gleison Bremer volleyed it back across the box, and Lloyd Kelly steered his shot into the bottom corner. Inter quickly responded, and Calhanoglu equalized on the half-hour mark with a first-time effort that sailed past Juve keeper Michele Di Gregorio.
Juventus regained the lead eight minutes later, with Bremer again playing a crucial role. Kenan Yildiz gathered the defender’s pass, turned, and found space for a powerful shot that keeper Yann Sommer got a hand to but couldn’t keep out.
Inter dominated possession after the break, but struggled to create clear-cut chances until Calhanoglu levelled the match again in the 65th minute.
The Turkish midfielder’s strike was a beauty, controlling the ball on his chest before letting fly from the edge of the area with a sumptuous shot into the far corner.
Inter continued to press, and 11 minutes later, Marcus Thuram rose unchallenged to power a header from a corner beyond the keeper, putting the visitors ahead for the first time.
However, the Thuram brothers’ family tradition of scoring for Juventus continued, with Kephren responding for the hosts. Yildiz sent a free kick into the box, and Thuram powered a header past Sommer with eight minutes remaining. But the Derby d’Italia was far from over, and substitute Adzic would prove to be the hero for Juventus.
Adzic gathered a pass from Jonathan David and took one touch before unleashing an unstoppable screamer from distance to maintain Juve’s perfect start to the season.
The young substitute was overjoyed, saying, “For me, it’s a dream, I stepped into such a passionate match, and I’ve been waiting forever for a moment like this.” Adzic’s winner sent Juventus top of the Serie A standings, while Inter suffered their second successive defeat.
