Two Derby della Mole gifts for the Old Lady - wrapped up by Weah and Yildiz

In the 211th Derby della Mole, Juventus secured a 2-0 victory over Torino, extending their remarkable head-to-head dominance to just one loss in their last 39 encounters (29 wins, nine draws).

Despite entering the match unbeaten in 11 league games this season, Thiago Motta’s side had faltered with six draws, including three goalless results. Juventus saw this derby as the ideal chance for a morale boost before the international break, and after a cautious start, they broke through just past the 15-minute mark. Andrea Cambiaso surged into Torino’s defense and took a shot, which was parried directly to Timothy Weah, who tapped in the rebound to put Juve ahead.

Torino struggled to gain control as Juventus commanded possession and set the game’s pace, though Juve didn't manage to increase their lead before halftime. Paolo Vanoli’s men delivered a lackluster first-half showing, recording only one off-target shot.

After the break, Torino came out stronger and managed two shots on target in the early minutes, though they posed little real threat to Mattia Perin’s goal. With Juventus defending their slim lead, they often found themselves absorbing pressure but remained dangerous on counter-attacks. Recognizing the need for fresh energy, Motta introduced Francisco Conceição for the final 15 minutes. Kenan Yıldız and Weah combined well, with Yıldız taking a shot that deflected for a corner.

As the match approached the last 10 minutes, Torino continued to push for an equalizer, but Juventus stayed resilient and doubled their lead in the 84th minute. Conceição whipped in a superb cross to the back post, where Yıldız scored a diving header. With a two-goal cushion, Juventus comfortably closed out the game, moving temporarily up to third in the table, while Torino remains in mid-table following their third straight defeat.
