Record breaking Del Piero caps Juve win

(GSM) – Alessandro Del Piero became Juventus’ all-time record goalscorer in Serie A after his goal helped his side clinch a 2-1 victory over Milan at the San Siro.

The Italian legend scored Juve’s second in the 65th minute, adding to Fabio Quagliarella’s opener, to register his 179th top-flight goal.

Milan’s Zlatan Ibrahimovic set up an exciting finish with an 82nd minute goal against one of his former clubs, but it did not prevent Juve moving into the top four of Serie A.

Home side Milan started the game at a furious pace, however, Italy striker Quagliarella silenced much of the crowd with a perfect header after 24 minutes.

Del Piero then struck a scrappy goal, following in after Mohamed Sissoko had failed to produce a shot on target when one-on-one with Christian Abbiati.

The goal allowed the 35-year-old to overtake 1950s great Giampiero Boniperti in Juve’s record goalscorers.
