Juventus 1-1 AC Milan – a hard-fought draw at Allianz Stadium

The Serie A encounter between Juventus and AC Milan took place at the Allianz Stadium in Torino on 6 September 2026. Both clubs entered the match looking to secure points early in the season, and the atmosphere was charged as the traditional powerhouses faced off on a clear evening.

How it unfolded

The first half progressed with both sides probing for openings, but it was the second half that produced the decisive moments. In the 68th minute, AC Milan broke the deadlock when Alphadjo Cissè received a precise pass from Samuel Chukwueze on the left side of the box and struck a right-footed shot that curled into the bottom right corner, giving the visitors a 1-0 lead.

The game’s intensity grew as Juventus pressed for an equaliser, and the referee intervened at the 79th minute to caution Pervis Estupiñán of AC Milan for a bad foul, issuing him a yellow card.

As the match entered stoppage time, tension rose. In the second minute of added time, Koni De Winter of AC Milan was shown a yellow card for a bad foul, further heightening the drama. Two minutes later, still in the 90'+2' period, Juventus capitalised on the set-piece situation. Teun Koopmeiners delivered a cross from the corner, and Federico Gatti rose highest to meet the ball with a powerful header from the centre of the box, sending the ball to the high centre of the net and restoring parity at 1-1.

The final moments saw the referee issue two more cautions. Federico Gatti received a yellow card in the 90'+6' minute for an unspecified infringement, and shortly after, Alphadjo Cissè was also booked at the same 90'+6' mark. The match concluded with the scores level, each side earning a point.
