Serie A Matchday 34: Inter Slows Down, Milan and Juventus Draw in Goalless Big Match

The 34th matchday of Serie A delivered results that intensified the race for the Scudetto and Champions League qualification. Inter, the league’s dominant force under Cristian Chivu, squandered a 2-0 lead to draw 2-2 away at Torino, slowing their march toward the title. Meanwhile, Milan and Juventus played out a hard-fought, tactical 0-0 draw at San Siro, leaving both sides with work to do in the top-four battle.

Inter’s Shock Draw in Torino

At the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino, the Nerazzurri took the lead through their signature Federico Dimarco–Marcus Thuram connection, with the Frenchman heading in at the 23rd minute from Dimarco’s pinpoint cross. Bisseck doubled the advantage in the 61st minute, heading in another Dimarco corner. Inter appeared in control, but Torino staged a remarkable comeback: Giovanni Simeone scored his fourth consecutive home goal in the 70th minute, and Nikola Vlasic equalized from the penalty spot in the 79th after Carlos Augusto’s handball. Coach Chivu remained upbeat: «A win over Parma next Sunday will secure the Scudetto, regardless of other results.»

Milan-Juventus: Stalemate at San Siro

The evening’s marquee clash between Milan and Juventus ended goalless, marking the fourth 0-0 in their last five meetings. The first half was uneventful, with Juventus denied a goal for offside against Thuram. The second half saw more intensity, including a Milan crossbar strike from Saelemaekers after a slick Leão-Rabiot combination. Despite late chances, neither side broke the deadlock. Milan now sit on 66 points, three clear of Juventus (63), with both firmly in the Champions League hunt.

Como’s Statement Win in Genoa

Como delivered a commanding performance at Marassi, defeating Genoa 2-0 with goals from Douvikas (10’) and Diao (68’). The victory propels them to fifth place (61 points), overtaking Roma, while Genoa—still under Daniele De Rossi—remain on 39 points, hovering near the relegation zone.

Fiorentina-Sassuolo: Goalless Draw

At the Franchi, Fiorentina and Sassuolo played out a 0-0 draw in a balanced but chance-filled encounter. Fiorentina extended their lead over the relegation zone to +9 points, while Sassuolo, newly promoted, continue their solid campaign. Pinamonti hit the post for Sassuolo, and Fiorentina’s Solomon missed a golden first-half opportunity.
