Yildiz Scores Twice as Juventus Stage Late Comeback to Draw 4-4 with Interillustration

Kenan Yildiz came off the bench to spark a remarkable Juventus comeback, salvaging a 4-4 draw against in a high-stakes Serie A clash on Sunday. This result allowed Napoli to widen their lead at the top of the league to four points.

The 19-year-old Yildiz entered the game with around 30 minutes remaining at the San Siro, where over 70,000 fans watched the intense encounter. Yildiz's late double brought Juventus back from a two-goal deficit, ensuring the third-placed team kept pace in the title race.

Inter appeared set for a statement win after Denzel Dumfries' goal in the 53rd minute, which followed a dominant first half. Henrikh Mkhitaryan's powerful strike and two Piotr Zielinski penalties had given Inter a strong lead, but Yildiz's two late finishes leveled the scoreline.

“Today I was really happy to score my first goal and second goal, also against a big team like Inter. I hope to continue like this,” Yildiz told DAZN. "We hope always, but the season is still long, we want to give our best and I hope at the end that it's going to be good."

While both teams fell behind Napoli's pace, Inter, now in second place, missed several opportunities to secure a win following Dumfries' goal. Federico Dimarco, Nicolo Barella, and Lautaro Martinez all had chances, but Juventus capitalized on counterattacks led by Yildiz.

“We deserved to score seven or eight goals against a team which had conceded one in eight games,” said Inter's Simone Inzaghi. “You can't concede four goals from four shots on target... It'll serve as a lesson for us.”

Juventus manager , a former Inter midfielder and 2010 Champions League winner with the team, made key substitutions that helped Juve recover, while Inter's defense, impacted by Yann Bisseck's struggles in place of the injured Benjamin Pavard, was unable to contain Juve's comeback.

"We had the right attitude and spirit, and at the end we even tried to get the win," Motta said post-match. "We need to look at why at times we play brilliantly and in other moments we seem to be dominated by opponents.”

The draw keeps Juventus in third place, adding further excitement to a tight Serie A race.
