TURIN, Italy (Reuters) - A first-half penalty was enough to earn champions Inter Milan a crucial 1-0 win at Juventus on Sunday, dragging Simone Inzagh...

The Juve protests went on for a while afterwards. Further openings came and went before chaos erupted surrounding the penalty award. Inter’s run of one win in their previous seven league games had aided Juve’s task, and it looked like Allegri’s side would get the victory that would have seen them climb above the champions as they dominated from the off.

Juventus aren't far off becoming a force again, but as Allegri has said - they won't be champions this season. The title race is fascinating.

Juventus were incensed as the Serie A champions took their first away Derby d'Italia victory since 2012.

The win on Sunday took them back to within three points of Milan and Napoli – holding a game in hand on the latter team but not the former, who host Bologna on Monday night. Juventus were unfortunate not to win a penalty when Alessandro Bastoni fouled Zakaria on the edge of the area – Irrati ruled that the challenge had taken place outside the box but frame-by-frame analysis suggested contact took place on the line. Yet the greatest satisfaction could only belong to Simone Inzaghi, leading Inter to a first away win against Juventus since 2012. The Bianconeri have been running just to keep up ever since they opened this campaign with two losses and two draws. A further 45 still were not enough for Juventus. They dominated possession and the pitch even more effectively in the second half, yet had fewer scoring opportunities. Calhanoglu chased the rebound, and seconds later the ball wound up in the net. Denzel Dumfries was moving away from goal on the right side of the area when he went down between Morata and Alex Sandro, but replays showed Sandro had trod on his boot. Giorgio Chiellini hit the bar in the ninth. Allegri opted for an attacking 4-2-3-1, with Paulo Dybala, Álvaro Morata and Juan Cuadrado supporting Dusan Vlahovic. Locatelli was not the only one throwing himself into challenges. He cried on the pitch after scoring his first goal for Milan at 18 years old, too, as well as after winning Euro 2020 with Italy. A 12-point gap between the two sides at the start of this year had been whittled down to just one, with Milan and Napoli becoming frontrunners in the meantime. Juventus had battled back into the Scudetto conversation with a run of 16 league games undefeated.

Inter secured a crucial 1-0 Derby d'Italia win at Juventus to keep their Serie A title hopes alive.

It was completely different than when the two teams met in the Supercoppa and Juve were just hanging on for dear life most of the night. There were a lot of mistakes in this game by this refereeing crew, but allowing Skriniar to defend the way he did was ghastly. * On the completely different end of the spectrum, Adrien Rabiot might have been Juventus’ best player in this one. * So did Denis Zakaria! This isn’t a game where we can blame Juve’s midfield for being absolutely terrible like so many times in the past few years. That’s the truth of the matter, that’s one of the biggest things that resulted in Juve not winning this game. For a boyhood Juventino, this is not the game you want to come out of — and yet he was forced to. Instead, we got a shot that was never going to challenge Samir Handanovic in the Inter goal. The amount of times he was trying to be a defenseman in hockey rather than a defender for Inter was shocking. It turned out where Juve had to try and get back into the game after falling behind because Inter’s one shot on target ended up being the thing that was the difference on the scoreboard. Juventus should have scored on so many different occasions — hitting the woodwork in both halves and then coming close on a handful of other shots. Instead, the one goal that was scored was by Inter ... on the second penalty attempt after the initial one was saved by Wojciech Szczesny and then forced to be retaken because Matthijs de Ligt was inches inside of the penalty area milliseconds before Hakan Calhanoglu struck the ball. Simply on the face of it, if I were to tell you Juventus had nearly four times as many shots as Inter Milan in Sunday night’s Derby d’Italia, what would your reaction be?

GIORGIO CHIELLINI has agreed to terminate his contract with Juventus this summer as they prepare to bring in Antonio Rudiger as a replacement, accordi.

The Italian outlet tweeted: "In agreement with the club, at the end of the season Chiellini will terminate his contract. The plan was thought to be for the captain to play one more season while helping Rudiger settle into the club. GIORGIO CHIELLINI has agreed to terminate his contract with Juventus this summer as they prepare to bring in Antonio Rudiger as a replacement, according to reports.

And this wasn't as some kind of false nine -- Kane remains a regular presence in the box with his well-timed runs -- but as a genuine, all-around centre-forward capable of putting his skill set at the service of the side. Diego Simeone's substitutions (especially Matheus Cunha and Luis Suarez, who grabbed two goals) helped turn the game and, at the risk of stating the obvious, having plenty of options on the bench is a real boon. Traveling away to Atalanta isn't fun at the best of times, but it becomes downright unpleasant when you're missing your star striker (Victor Osimhen) and half of your starting back four (Giovanni Di Lorenzo and Amir Rrahmani). So Napoli adapted. The Portuguese starlet may never live up to his enormous transfer fee, but, still just 22, he's offering quality and consistency of a sort that we haven't often seen during his time at the club. But it's three big points in the bag that keep them on track ahead of their mega-clash with Manchester City on April 10. He didn't find the net, but he was pivotal in linking play and setting up teammates with his movement. But it didn't influence the game, and frankly, it should go down as nothing more than a piece of football trivia. It took Bayern Munich a while to get going away to Freiburg -- it was tied 1-1 with 20 minutes left -- but don't let the goal sequence fool you. With Karim Benzema and Ferland Mendy returning to the XI, Real were at full strength -- minus Carlo Ancelotti, absent following a positive COVID-19 test -- and still struggled against the usual brave, high-energy game preached by Eduardo "El Chacho" Coudet. There's no argument on Madrid's first penalty, but the second (Jeison Murillo on Rodrygo) looked generous and the third (Kevin Vazquez on Ferland Mendy) even more so. It was the sort of individual game-turning brilliance to which the Camp Nou had become accustomed over the past 15 years, coinciding with the reign of one Lionel Messi. It was not something you see often, either, much less from a kid of Pedri's age. (Yes, there are some fools who think the result is all that matters.) Very few successful teams play reactive football of the sort Allegri served up much of this season, and Sunday night showed Juve can play a different way. The other was Lautaro Martinez, who had already been booked, not getting a second yellow card for his foul on Giorgio Chiellini. Here, I think the referee got it wrong and that he was maybe influenced by not wanting to send somebody off after 23 minutes.

Juve midfielder Manuel Locatelli endured a miserable Derby d'Italia and he's set to be out of action for 20 days after being forced off with a knee injury.

Adrien Rabiot arguably produced his finest performance for Juventus on Sunday and supporters will be pleading that the Frenchman can finally build some momentum in Bianconeri colours. Allegri’s initial diagnosis has since proved to be pretty accurate.

With a full week off, Inter will prepare to face Hellas Verona next Saturday as they continue to put pressure on Napoli and Milan ahead of them in the table. Dumfries - 6.5: Exacted his revenge after the penalty given against him in the first matchup. Finally put it away after all the chaos and has now scored against both Milan and Juventus. Say what you want, but he’s making a difference in this team in derbies. Robin Gosens also entered the pitch in place of Edin Dzeko just as the five minutes of extra time started to really lock things up at the back. Was crucial late in the match in cutting out Juve’s efforts on his flank, though. The ensuing bounce off of the ground hit the crossbar and bounced back into play before a shot from Locatelli could be cleared by Ivan Perisic. A foul in the mad scramble could have been called on Giorgio Chiellini, but none was given since nothing came of the spectacular scramble. On the 14 minute mark, Handanovic made a much more confident save on a Cuadrado shot from distance, atoning for the heart stopping events of moments before. He made a myriad of changes from the team that defeated Salernitana way back on March 20, including starting all three of Paulo Dybala, Alvaro Morata, and Dusan Vlahovic in an attempt to get all of his most dangerous attackers on the pitch at once. From the outset, Juventus brought the match to Inter. It took just 44 seconds for the hosts to put a shot on target through Vlahovic, but one that Samir Handanovic harmlessly collected. They did this to great effect early on, making it to around the hour mark, where Joaquin Correa and Matteo Darmian came on to replace Lautaro and Dumfries. The Allianz Stadium has not been a very happy hunting ground for Inter Milan since The The Allianz Stadium has not been a very happy hunting ground for Inter Milan since Juventus began calling the stadium home in 2011-12. After beating the Bianconeri November of 2012, Inter had not picked up three points there in nearly a decade, only scoring four goals in those eight trips.

Against an Inter Milan side who have struggled immensely in 2022, Juve seized the initiative from the get-go and dominated the Derby d'Italia for large swathes.

Mourinho’s side are on a roll and their distinct supremacy in the recent Derby della Capitale depicted their credentials as a late challenger to Juventus for the final Champions League spot. For the time being, though, they appear to be Juventus’ only challenger. Some suspected that the Giallorossi’s season would spiral after Mattia De Sciglio completed an incredible Juventus comeback in that memorable 4-3 win back in January. But they’ve since emerged as one of Serie A’s form sides. Nevertheless, the defeat all but ends their dream of reclaiming the Scudetto. A woeful start to the campaign combined with a blip in late October left them with far too much to do in this regard. Juventus could be ten points adrift of league leaders Milan come Tuesday morning, yet their just five points better off than Jose Mourinho’s AS Roma with seven games to play. Against an Inter Milan side who have struggled immensely in 2022, Juve seized the initiative from the get-go and dominated the Derby d’Italia for large swathes.

Legendary former Juventus forward Alessandro Del Piero feels that the decision to award Inter a retake of their penalty yesterday was ultimately a correct.

“The referee’s error is to call for a foul on the rebounded shot.” “It’s is a foul and a yellow card by the letter of the law,” he said.

The Derby d'Italia is one of the most iconic clashes of the Italian Serie A.

Considering all competitions, Inter have won only one of their last 15 away meetings against Juventus (1-3 in Serie A  on November 3rd, 2012). In the process, Juventus have won 10 matches and drawn four. On the other hand, the Bianconeri can boost their still remote title ambitions and winning against a rival can help them not only make up ground against the top of the table but give them some extra motivation as they overcome Inter in the Serie A table. Juventus host Inter Milan in Turin for one of the most awaited Derby d'Italias in recent memory on Sunday. The Nerazzurri have a lot to lose since they've hit a rough patch and not winning against Juventus might end their Scudetto hopes.

Former Juventus and Roma midfielder Zbigniew Boniek feels no doubt that the challenge for Inter's penalty against the Bianconeri yesterday evening was a.

The Bianconeri had their own appeal when midfielder Denis Zakaria was taken down by Alessandro Bastoni right on the edge of the penalty area, but the referee and VAR adjudged the context to be just outside the area so only awarded a free kick. Inter’s clash with Juventus saw a number of players appealing for fouls, free kicks, and penalties, and in the end was decided by a spot kick that went the way of the Nerazzurri, for a foul by Alvaro Morata on Denzel Dumfries. Former Juventus and Roma midfielder Zbigniew Boniek feels no doubt that the challenge for Inter’s penalty against the Bianconeri yesterday evening was a clear foul.

However, it was Inter which broke the deadlock on the stroke of halftime after Juventus forward Álvaro Morata fouled Denzel Dumfries just inside the area. Here’s the teams’ history “But finally we can say that Juve is definitively out of the title race. Insigne, who is leaving Napoli at the end of the season after 15 years to join Toronto FC in Major League Soccer, converted a penalty and provided the assist for a Matteo Politano volley to give them a comfortable halftime lead. Juventus hit the woodwork twice and had 23 shots compared to just five for Inter in one of the Bianconeri's best matches of the season, but it remained fourth and slipped four points below Inter. Inter Milan halted its poor run of form in the best possible way by beating fierce rival Juventus 1-0 to boost its Serie A title chances and hinder its opponent’s own hopes on Sunday.
