Kenan Yildiz came on as a second-half substitute and helped Juventus secure a point in a thrilling 4-4 draw against Inter Milan this evening.
Juventus had a point to prove in this clash with the Nerazzurri, having lost their previous match against Stuttgart in the Champions League. The Bianconeri have long been one of Italy’s top clubs, but Inter Milan, the defending Serie A champions, are widely expected to retain their title this season.
The men in black and white fell behind early after conceding a penalty that Piotr Zielinski converted. Given Inter’s reputation as one of the country’s top sides, it was no surprise that they took the lead.
However, Juventus responded just five minutes later through Dusan Vlahovic and then took the lead again seven minutes after that. It was a remarkable turnaround, especially considering they were playing away from home.
Juve’s advantage, however, was short-lived. Inter rallied to score twice before halftime, taking a 3-2 lead into the break in a topsy-turvy first half that saw five goals.
Inter extended their lead shortly after the interval, prompting Thiago Motta to make some changes. He introduced Yildiz, and the Turkish teenager made an immediate impact, scoring ten minutes after coming on to pull one back for Juventus.
Yildiz continued his impressive performance by netting another goal to level the score at 4-4. From there, Juventus looked the more likely side to find a winner, with Yildiz posing a constant threat.
Despite both teams pushing for a decisive goal, the match ended in a draw, with Juventus maintaining their unbeaten start to the league season in an enthralling encounter.

Danilo clown lol
Danilo is terrible, I hope this is his last year in Turin, the team miss Bremer, Fagioli isn’t Koop, and the f.cking team of this f.cking Lega got the chance to win with 2 penalties, but after the draw, Juve still has hope of catching up.
Yildiz should play as CF or Striker. Such a waste of talent on the wing. Idk why Gatti didn’t start when danilo’s form is so poor
Couldn’t agree more. Either behind Vlahovic or instead Vlahovic. Koop can go in double pivot role.
Gatti is not injured and Motta still used Danilo as the first choice, very strange, especially Danilo was the worst player in the Stuttgart game and Gatti was rotated.
Without Bremer, any minor defending mistake has been exaggerated and the central area was easily penetrated.
The point earned in last evening’s game was well deserved, could have been better though. Juve’s defensive struggles continues to be exposed with mistakes under pressure in the eighteenth yard box which gave away two penalties. However there’s an improvement in the final attacking third with chances created, the good sense of positioning and clinicality on goal. It was a show of quality and positive character for the younger Juventus players against a much experienced Inter. Thumbs up to Locatelli, Yildiz, Cabal and Di Gregorio.
I hope the Juventus management identifies other players like Francisco Conceicao in other departments of play, he’s proving to be a dependable player stirring up inspiration in negative moments.
