The big derby of the fourth round of Serie A ended without a winner. Although the match was played at the Allianz Stadium in Turin, in the end the Milan players may be even more dissatisfied that they did not take everything. If Pierre Kalulu had been a little more concentrated in the 86th minute, the Rossoneri would have traveled home with a gold-worthy victory, and Juventus would have finished in the penultimate place on the table. Max Allegri and the whole team can thank Wojciech Szczesny that it did not happen, because he secured the final result 1: 1 (1: 0) with a first-class reaction to Kalulu’s shot. Perfect counter attack Juve !

After the successful opening of the group stage of the Champions League, the Bianconeri welcomed the derby in a better mood. Federico Chiesa and the namesake Bernardeski returned to the protocol, but they both started from the bench. Allegri surprised everyone with the decision to leave Matthias de Licht on the bench and pair Giorgio Chiellini with Leonardo Bonucci, but the returnee on the Juventus bench obviously wanted experience before someone who knows how to handle the ball. On the eve of the trip to the neighborhood, Stefano Pioli left a long list of injured first team players. Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Olivier Giroud, Davide Calabria, Tjemue Bakajoko, Rade Krunic, Junior Messias… Ante Rebić remained as a sole striker, but his marvelous header in the 76th minute gave Milan an equalizer and silenced the Juventus fans who, like the entire Milan team, provoked him all the time.⚽ Ante Rebic goal#JuventusMilan pic.twitter.com/0XncjzZtxN— Nello (@hoverall) September 19, 2021 But it was Juve who scored first, in the 4th minute, when after a quick counter attack, Alvaro Morata took the ball right at the center of the field, and ran for 50 meters to score a great goal. But instead of an open game after the leading goal, the game turned into a tactical, chess outwitting of Allegri and Pioli, and practically until Rebić’s header and the assistance of Tonalio, we did not see a quality chance. After that, it was Milan who suddenly had the opportunity to take all three points, but Kalulu’s shot was saved by Szczesny, and the game ended in a peaceful draw.
