The Turin Derby was decided by a second half penalty after Mario Mandzukic was brought down for pouncing on Simone Zaza’s back-pass.
“It was a difficult match and the pitch was very bobbly, it was quite irregular,” CR7 told DAZN.

The Turin Derby was decided by a second half penalty after Mario Mandzukic was brought down for pouncing on Simone Zaza’s back-pass.
“It was a difficult match and the pitch was very bobbly, it was quite irregular,” CR7 told DAZN.
“We put in a good performance, played better than Torino, had more scoring opportunities and deserved the victory.”
His penalty was not only the Derby Della Mole decider, but also the 5,000th Serie A goal for Juventus.
“I am happy, but the most important thing was helping the team to win.”
The spot-kick almost didn’t go in, as Ichazo got a hand to it and the pair clashed afterwards, Ronaldo receiving a yellow card for barging into the goalkeeper.
“He did well to get a hand to it, but I hit it hard and it went in. That’s the most important thing.”
