Juventus claimed an impressive 2-0 victory over AC Milan in a key Serie A derby, marking the first defeat for Milan's new coach, Sergio Conceicao.

The win propelled Juventus to fourth place in the standings, while Milan dropped to eighth.

After a scoreless first half, the game came alive in the second. Juventus opened the scoring in the 59th minute with 20-year-old Samuel Mbangula, who capitalized on an excellent team move and a bit of luck to put the hosts ahead. Just five minutes later, Timothy Weah doubled the lead with a well-taken finish following a counterattack.

Milan’s performance was lackluster, as they failed to threaten Juventus’ defense. The home side managed the game effectively, securing three valuable points without much trouble in the closing stages. This result highlights the challenges ahead for Conceicao, who recently replaced Paulo Fonseca on the Milan bench.

Both teams now turn their attention to the Champions League. Milan will face Girona, while Juventus prepares to take on Club Brugge. Despite their league struggles, the upcoming fixtures offer opportunities for both sides to regain momentum.

With this victory, Juventus solidifies its position among the top four, while AC Milan faces mounting pressure to improve as they languish in eighth place.
