Inter came away with a 2:1 win over Juventus in a Club Friendly on Friday evening. The visitors took the lead through the 20th minute before Diouf and Conceição struck after the break to turn the match around. Juventus had more of the ball but could not find an equaliser.
Dimarco opened the scoring for the away side in the 20th minute. The hosts responded with changes at half-time, bringing on Kelly for Calhanoglu while Barella was also replaced. Diouf then found the net in the 62nd minute to put Inter ahead, and Conceição added a third in the 85th minute. Rugani picked up a booking for Juventus in the 75th minute.
and here's the thing about the numbers — Juventus owned 58 per cent of possession but their expected goals sat at just 0.96. Inter managed 1.53 on paper with less than half the ball. Four shots on target against three, yet Inter converted twice. The hosts worked 107 attacks but only created two big chances, while the visitors did the same with 69 attacks.
It was a familiar pattern for these friendlies, where the result matters more than the performance. Juventus had been unbeaten in their last five matches before this, including wins against Chelsea and Nassaji. Inter's recent run showed draws against Milan and Manchester City, so a victory here gave them something to build on.
The visitors defended their lead well, making 26 clearances compared to 12 from the hosts. Provedel and Bremer were swapped for Juventus in the 64th minute, a change that did not shift the momentum. Inter closed out the game without conceding further chances, and the scoreline reflected a match decided in moments rather than sustained pressure.
