Juventus 1-1 Milan: Gatti's Stoppage-Time Header Denies the Rossoneri in Turin
Teenager Alphadjo Cisse looked to have won the derby for Milan until Federico Gatti rose deep into added time to keep both sides unbeaten.
Two teams arrived at the Allianz Stadium with perfect records, and both left with them technically intact — though only one celebrated like it. Juventus 1-1 AC Milan on Saturday was decided by a 19-year-old's composure and a defender's refusal to accept the obvious ending.
Maignan holds the line
Juventus controlled the first half, pressing high and creating the better chances, according to VAVEL's live report. The closest call came from Francisco Conceicao, whose powerful volley drew a spectacular save from Mike Maignan. Milan defended compactly and went in level at the break.
Cisse's moment
The visitors grew into the game after the interval, and in the 69th minute the breakthrough came from Alphadjo Cisse. The 19-year-old took a pass inside the area and drove a low finish into the bottom-left corner, per VAVEL — a strike Bleacher Report described as a stunning finish to break the deadlock. For twenty-plus minutes, Milan were on course for a statement win in Turin.
Gatti says no
Juventus, missing seven players through injury according to Bleacher Report, threw everything forward at the death. Deep in stoppage time — the sixth added minute — Federico Gatti met a cross with a header past Maignan, and the stadium found its voice one last time.
What it means
Both clubs entered matchday 3 with two wins from two; both remain unbeaten, and neither could open a gap on the other. Milan will rue standing one clean pass from a road win over a direct rival. Juventus can point to the chances created, the injuries absorbed, and a point salvaged when the game looked gone — small consolations that tend to matter more in May than they feel in September.
