While the first half of the match was rather cautious, the action picked up after the interval as both teams pushed for a crucial opening goal. In the end, it was Dusan Vlahovic who gave Bianconeri the victory. The Serbian goalkeeper was without a doubt Torino's standout player, making at least five outstanding saves in an effort to keep it scoreless. He had no control over Vlahovic's close-range goal, though.
Juventus moved up to eighth in Serie A with only their fourth league victory of the year. It came after Maccabi Haifa's Champions League loss, which made them unlikely to go past the group round. Juventus only got what they deserved from Vlahovic's close-range shot after Torino goalkeeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic made a series of excellent saves to keep the score tied.
