Match Overview

Juventus and Milan were unable to find the back of the net in their Serie A clash in Turin, as both sides settled for a 0-0 draw in the sixth round of the Italian top flight. This result ensured that the Bianconeri preserved their unbeaten status in the league, though it also marked their fifth consecutive draw across all competitions.

First Half: Few Openings

The opening half offered little in the way of attacking opportunities, with Juventus struggling to manufacture any clear-cut chances prior to the interval. Both teams went into the break deadlocked at 0-0, with defences prevailing over attacking flair.

Second Half: Key Moments and Missed Opportunities

The tempo increased after the restart, with Juventus orchestrating a dangerous opportunity, only for Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan to produce a top-class save from close range to deny Federico Gatti. Milan responded when Luka Modrić’s dribbling run drew a foul from Lloyd Kelly on Jimenez inside the box, resulting in a penalty. However, Christian Pulisic failed to capitalise, sending the spot-kick off target and missing the opportunity to put Milan ahead.

League Implications

Milan’s sequence of five consecutive wins in all competitions came to an end with this goalless draw. The Rossoneri were unable to reclaim pole position in Serie A, remaining in third place, two points shy of the league leaders. Juventus, meanwhile, extended their league unbeaten stretch to seven months, accumulating 6 wins and 5 draws during this run. However, the latest draw saw them slip to fifth in the standings, further impeding their push towards the top.
