**Turin, Italy** – Juventus edged out Inter Milan 1-0 in a thrilling Derby d’Italia on Sunday, thanks to a late goal from Francisco Conceição. The result leaves Inter two points behind league leaders Napoli and keeps the Serie A title race fiercely contested with 13 games remaining.
Conceição’s 74th-minute strike, set up by Randal Kolo Muani’s skillful work in the box, sparked wild celebrations at the Juventus Stadium. The goal capped a tense encounter that saw both sides create numerous chances throughout the match.
Inter, who had hoped to overtake Napoli after their 2-2 draw with Lazio on Saturday, dominated periods of the game. Mehdi Taremi’s bicycle kick and several other opportunities were thwarted by Juventus goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio and the resolute Juventus defense. Juventus also threatened repeatedly, with Nico Gonzalez forcing several impressive saves from Inter’s Yann Sommer.
Despite Inter’s pressure and near misses, including a shot that struck the post, it was Conceição who ultimately broke the deadlock. Juventus nearly added a second goal moments later, but Inter’s Denzel Dumfries cleared a shot off the line. Inter’s late push for an equalizer proved fruitless, leaving Juventus in fourth place with 46 points, and Inter in second with 54. The title race remains incredibly tight, with Napoli currently holding the lead.
