Yildiz double earns Juve amazing 4-4 draw with Inter

Kenan Yildiz of Juventus celebrates with his teammate Andrea Cambiaso after scoring goal 4-4 during the Serie A match between FC Internazionale and Juventus at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on October 27, 2024 in Milan, Italy.

Teenager Kenan Yildiz has emerged from the substitutes’ bench to help Juventus salvage a 4-4 draw at Inter Milan in a highly entertaining Derby d’Italia.

Yildiz was brought on in the 61st minute on Sunday with Juve trailing 4-2 and Inter seemingly headed for an important victory before the 19-year-old’s late double.

“I want to thank the team, the coach and my family: it was not easy, but I am very happy,” Yildiz said. “You always have to stay together and play as a team; in soccer everything can change quickly.”

Inter remained second ? four points behind Serie A leaders Napoli, and one point ahead of Juventus.

Nicknamed “Italy’s derby,” matches between Inter and Juventus are always huge fixtures in the Serie A calendar and the two teams are considered the main title contenders, along with Napoli.

Inter took the lead in the 15th minute when Piotr Zielinski struck a penalty straight down the middle after Marcus Thuram had been fouled by Danilo.

The Nerazzurri had conceded just two goals in their past four matches but they let in as many in six minutes as their defence was caught napping.
