Chaos at San Siro: Zielinski scores twice from the spot, with Mkhitaryan and Dumfries also on target, but Juve levels it up in the second half with a Yildiz brace

Exhausted, just like the players on the pitch at San Siro by the 93rd minute. And like the 75,000 fans, swept through the emotions of a wild, thrilling, and ultimately bittersweet match. Inter and Juventus draw 4-4, marking an unprecedented result in the century-old history of the Derby d’Italia, a clash never before ending with such a goal-packed scoreline across 248 encounters.

Inter took the lead, then Juve responded. Inter surged ahead once more, this time by two goals. But two late goals in the final 20 minutes sealed an unlikely 4-4, a result both exhilarating and frustrating as the chances to lock down the win slipped away. After Dumfries’ goal opened the second half to make it 4-2, Inter had five chances to secure a fifth, but couldn’t convert. Juve clung on, sparking their comeback through blistering runs. With Conceição dominating on the right in the first half, Yildiz’s entry on the left gave Juve the drive they needed. His two solo efforts struck Inter down and forced the draw. Nine matchdays in, the table reads: Napoli 22, Inter 18, Juventus 17.
