Juventus, long led and inoffensive in the Turin derby against Torino, woke up in the last quarter of an hour to snatch victory (2-1) on Saturday during the 10th day of Serie A.
The Torino has long believed to hold his feat on the lawn of his prestigious neighbor thanks to a goal at the start of the match from Nicolas Nkoulou, the quickest at six meters in the middle of the Bianconeri defenders to conclude a corner (9th).
But the relegable combative (18th) was caught up at the end of the game by his defensive largesse which has already cost him many points this season.
Weston McKennie (77th) - for the first goal in series A of the first American player in the history of Juve - then Leonardo Bonucci (89th) thus took advantage of a rather rough marking to place winning heads, on two signed crosses Juan Cuadrado.
Juve, which has not lost the Turin derby on its lawn for 25 years, temporarily takes second place in the standings, 3 points behind leaders AC Milan, who will play Sunday night in Genoa against Sampdoria.
Torino (6 pts) remains 18th, under the threat of Genoa (5 pts) who meet Fiorentina on Monday.
