Juventus Secure Victory Against AC Milan
Juventus continued their impressive run in Serie A, extending their unbeaten streak to 21 games and climbing into the top four after defeating AC Milan 2-0 at home on Saturday.
The Bianconeri dominated the second half, with Samuel Mbangula opening the scoring in the 59th minute with a deflected shot that went in off the crossbar. Timothy Weah doubled the lead five minutes later, finishing a solo run with a low shot past Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan.
Juventus, the only unbeaten team in Europe's top five leagues alongside Paris St Germain, moved up to fourth place with 37 points. AC Milan, under new manager Sergio Conceicao, suffered their first defeat and remain in eighth place with 31 points and a game in hand.
The first half was entertaining, with chances for both sides. Rafael Leao came close for Milan, while Kenan Yildiz had an opportunity for Juventus. However, neither team managed to break the deadlock before the break.
Juventus continued to dominate possession after the restart, and their pressure paid off with Mbangula's goal. Weah then added a second goal to secure a comfortable victory for the Bianconeri.
This win marks Juventus' fourth consecutive clean sheet against Milan in Serie A, a feat they last achieved in November 2019. The victory also extends their unbeaten run in the league to 21 games, solidifying their position as one of the top contenders for the Serie A title.

Uninspiring performance from both teams. Serie A needs to up its entertainment factor.

Leao quiet today, but Theo Hernandez was a constant threat down the left flank. Positive signs for Milan.
