Nikola Vlasic's brilliant equaliser earned a point for Torino in the Turin derby against undefeated Juventus on Saturday (Jan 11). Vlasic drew the hosts level on the brink of half-time with a tremendous strike in off the post from the edge of the penalty area, leaving Juventus goalkeeper Michele di Gregorio no chance.
Kenan Yildiz opened the scoring in the eighth minute at the Olympic Grande Torino Stadium after he danced beyond two players before driving past Vanja Milinkovic-Savic to give the Old Lady the lead.
Torino's Karol Linetty missed a huge opportunity to equalise six minutes later but he could only hammer his effort from close range over the top.
Tempers flared 10 minutes into the second half when Torino manager Paolo Vanoli and Juventus boss Thiago Motta were shown red cards.
Facundo Gonzalez came close to reinstating Juventus' lead late in the second half but Milinkovic-Savic produced a fine reaction save to keep the scores level.
Juve remain unbeaten in Serie A but sit fifth in the table after drawing for the sixth time in seven games, and 12th time this league campaign.
