Juventus 2-0 Torino: Weah and Yildiz lift Bianconeri to third after Derby della Mole victory

Juventus climbed to third place in Serie A following a 2-0 victory over rivals Torino at the Allianz Stadium.

A goal in either half from Timothy Weah and Kenan Yildiz settled the Derby della Mole, and saw Thiago Motta’s side extend their unbeaten start to the league season.

The Bianconeri broke through in the 18th minute when Vanja Milinkovic-Savic spilt a shot straight to Weah, who made no mistake from close range.

Weah thought he had doubled the lead in the 72nd minute, but the USA international was penalised for handball in the build-up to the opportunity.

However, Juve did put the contest to bed six minutes from time, when Yildiz nodded in Francisco Conceicao’s deep cross at the far post.

Extending their unbeaten streak against Torino to 18 matches, Motta’s side moved to within a point of Serie A leaders Napoli.

9 – Juventus have kept the most clean sheets in the Big-5 European leagues in 2024/25 (9 in 12 Serie A matches). Before the Bianconeri, the last team to have recorded 9 clean sheets in the first 12 Serie A games of the season was Juventus in 2014/15. Wall.#JuveToro pic.twitter.com/CtlvpjSKZp

Data Debrief: Bianconeri extend unbeaten start with yet another clean sheet

Juventus have now registered nine clean sheets in Serie A this season, the most by any team in the big five European leagues.

Weah got the ball rolling, as he became the second American after Weston McKennie in December 2020 to score for the Bianconeri against Torino in Serie A.

Yildiz then sealed the victory. The 19-year-old became the third-youngest Juventus player to find the net in the Derby della Mole, after Felice Placido Borel (18 years and 243 days in 1932) and Bruno Nicole (18 years and 244 days in 1958).

Meanwhile, Torino have now suffered three successive defeats without scoring in Serie A for the first time since 2014.
