Serie A Week 29 - 25-3-2012 (8:45 p.m.) 2 - 0 Martín Cáceres (57′) Alessandro Del Piero (71′) Juventus Stadium - Turin Referee: Andrea De Marco Attendance: 34000‎ Player Ratings Goal.com evaluates all of those involved in the Derby d'Italia, a game in which the Turin giants clinched three precious points thanks to Martin Caceres and Alessandro Del Piero. Mar 25, 2012 Juventus Gianluigi Buffon 7.5 - Very busy in the first half. The Italy captain made a crucial stop from Milito on 15 minutes, using his feet to great effect, before then displaying his wonderful reactions by keeping out a terrific near-post header from Forlan. Denied Milito again in the 32nd minute and also kept out long-range efforts from Obi and Stankovic. Giorgio Chiellini 7.0 - Lucky to avoid giving away a free-kick in a dangerous position - and perhaps even a booking - for blatantly obstructing Milito after the Argentine had flicked the ball by him. However, for the most part, he defended solidly and was desperately unlucky to end with neither an assist, after a wonderful run into the Inter box, or a goal, on account of a terrific reflex save from Julio Cesar. Martín Cáceres 7.5 - Proved a more than able deputy for Lichtsteiner, picking out Matri in the area with a sublime lofted cross which the forward really should have buried. He was not afraid to get himself into the box either. He probably should have done better with a Pepe cross from the right wing 27 minutes in but made amends by heading Juve into the lead midway through the second half. However, from a defensive perspective, he was exposed by Obi's pace on a couple of occasions. Paolo De Ceglie 5.0 - Struggled to contain Maicon whenever the Brazilian ventured forward, while at the same time failing to put the Inter full-back under any pressure himself. His crossing was pretty poor, too. Andrea Barzagli 6.0 - Had a momentary scare when he Milito put him under pressure as he tried to shepherd the ball back to Buffon but this was a decent display from Barzagli given it was his first game back after injury. Simone Pepe 4.5 - His first couple of crosses were poor but his terrific delivery from the right wing some 26 minutes in deserved better from Caceres. However, that was to be the highlight of his evening as he was hauled off early in the second half, just moments after wasting a pretty decent opening. Claudio Marchisio 5.5 - Started pretty slowly but he started to get himself involved from the half-hour mark on and forced the corner which led to Caceres' goal with swerving drive which Julio Cesar tipped over the bar. Andrea Pirlo 6.5 - Lost the ball deep in his own half early on and was very nearly caught in possession in his own box just before the break. However, he was much more like his usual self in the second period and ended with another assist to his name after Caceres headed home his terrific corner from the right. Should have had another too but Vucinic wasted his wonderful through-ball. Arturo Vidal Pardo 7.5 - Really put himself about early and tested Julio Cesar from distance after winning the ball well just inside Inter territory before surging forward. His shooting was suspect throughout but his pass into Del Piero for the crucial second goal was absolutely sublime. Mirko Vučinić 5.0 - Offered an early indicator of his growing confidence by barging Marchisio off the ball midway through the opening period. However, he was on the fringes of the game for most of the half before calling Julio Cesar into action with a deflected effort shortly before the break. Presented with a great chance to put Juve 2-0 up but shot tamely at Julio Cesar. Alessandro Matri 4.5 - Demonstrated his admirable willingness to chase back during the first half but he spurned a golden opportunity to open the scoring by heading Caceres' wonderful cross straight at Julio Cesar. He then blazed over after the Uruguayan's cut-back had fallen for him some in the middle of the box. Unsurprisingly replaced early in the second half. • Substitutions Leonardo Bonucci 6.0 - Thrown on in place of Pepe as part of a tactical reshuffle which saw Juve switch to 3-5-2 and slotted back into the side with the mininum of fuss. Alessandro Del Piero 7.5 - Harshly dropped after scoring against Milan in midweek, the legendary trequartista proved a point by making a tremendous impact after bring sprung from the bench, scoring Juve's vital second goal after being put through by Vidal. Why oh why are Juve getting rid of him at the end of the season?! Fabio Quagliarella 6.0 - Saw 10 minutes of action at the end and came close to scoring just before full-time only to be denied by Julio Cesar. FC Internazionale Julio César 6.0 - Failed to claim Pepe's low cross early on but got away with it as Vucinic was unable to pick out a team-mate after pouncing the rebound. Mad a string of impressive saves in the second period but could do nothing about either Caceres' header or Del Piero's strike. Badly let down by his defenders in both instances. Javier Adelmar Zanetti 5.5 - Industrious as ever, the Argentine broke up several Juve attacks, most notably when he almost effortlessly stripped Vucinic of possession just outside the Inter box. However, his overall influence was negligible. Lucio 5.0 - Stuck pretty close to Matri for the majority of the game and kept the forward quiet, but he did lose the Italy international during the first half and was lucky to see the forward head tamely at Julio Cesar. Must also accept the majority of the blame for Caceres' goal by allowing the Uruguayan a free header on the six-yard box. Maicon 6.5 - Lucky to avoid a booking for catching De Ceglie but soon settled and caused havoc every time he went forward in the first half, particularly when he cut infield on 13 minutes and put Milito in on goal only for the Argentine to shoot straight at Buffon. Less of a threat, though, after the break. Walter Adrian Samuel 6.0 - Cannot be faulted for the loss. The Argentine won a fair bit of ball in the air and also made a couple of important blocks, throwing himself in front of a shot from Marchisio in the opening quarter before deflecting a strike from Matri away for a corner. Yuto Nagatomo 5.5 - Initially appeared that he and Obi might caused all sorts of problems for Juve down the left-hand side after linking well with the youngster nine minutes in but the Japanese rarely ventured forward thereafter. Kept Pepe pretty quiet, though. Dejan Stankovic 5.5 - Given the nod ahead of Cambiasso in midfield and made several timely interceptions in the first quarter of the game alone. Also drew a save out of Buffon with a long-range effort. However, his sloppy passing put the Nerazzurri in trouble on occasion. Andrea Poli 5.0 - Never really managed to get a grip of the game, though he did get a grip of Vucinic's shirt just before the interval and was booked for his troubles. Quite who he was supposed to be marking for the corner which led to Caceres' goal is anyone's guess. Obi 5.5 - Showed an impressive turn of pace in breaking away down the left wing early on but then failed to pick anybody out in the centre. Tested Buffon with a well-struck strike from distance. However, was anonymous in the second half before being replaced. Diego Forlan Corazo 5.0 - Recalled to the starting lineup after allegedly refusing to come on as a sub last weekend and initially struggled to find a team-mate. However, he linked well with Maicon in the lead-up to Milito's first sight of goal before then drawing a terrific reaction save out of Buffon with a near-post header. Diego Alberto Milito 6.0 - Had the first big chance of the game after being slipped in on goal by Maicon. Unfortunately, the ball got under his feet a tad and he was only able to stab it towards goal, thus leaving Buffon with a far easier save to make. Produced a far cleaner strike after killing a long ball over the top but Buffon was again equal to it. • Substitutions Marco Faraoni 5.5 - Failed to make an impression after coming on for Obi midway through the second half. Giampaolo Pazzini 5.5 - Came on for Poli on 67 minutes but never got a sight of goal while on the field. http://www.soccerway...regular-season/

Serie A Week 29 - 25-3-2012 (8:45 p.m.) 2 - 0 Martín Cáceres (57′) Alessandro Del Piero (71′) Juventus Stadium - Turin Referee: Andrea De Marco Attendance: 34000‎ Juve win Derby D'Italia Mar 25, 2012 Juventus maintained their unbeaten record in Serie A this season with a 2-0 win over Inter Milan which takes them back to within four points of AC Milan at the top of the table. Martin Caceres and Alessandro Del Piero scored the goals for the Bianconeri, who moved 15 points clear of their bitter rivals in the process. Inter's 12th defeat of the season leaves them in seventh place in the table, behind Catania and seven points away from a place in Europe next season, which is beginning to look increasingly unlikely for the 2010 Champions League winners. The ongoing dispute over the Serie A titles in 2005 and 2006 has added further spice to the Derby d'Italia this season while the contrasting form of both teams made the stakes high at the Juventus Stadium. The fact that former Juve coach Claudio Ranieri was sitting on the Inter bench was another ingredient and, fittingly, the show on the field lived up to the expectations with both sides showing a willingness to attack. The home side made their first break for goal in the third minute, but Alessandro Matri was unable to make anything of the chance after Julio Cesar pushed Simone Pepe's cross out to him. Inter responded with a break of their own in the 14th minute, but Gianluigi Buffon denied Diego Milito. Julio Cesar did not want to be outdone at the other end as he kept out a Matri header with a reflex save. Milito got two bites of the cherry in the 32nd minute, but he was first denied by Buffon before hitting over. Only the customary yellow cards were missing from an exciting encounter, but Yuti Nagatomo changed that as his became the first name to go into the book after 34 minutes. Antonio Conte made two changes early in the second half, first bringing Leonardo Bonucci on for Pepe, much to the home fans' disapproval, but then sent Del Piero on for Matri. Only three minutes later, Juve were in front. Andrea Pirlo's corner was met by Caceres, who was left all alone to head past Julio Cesar. Del Piero's impact on the game became even more tangible when he set up Mirko Vucinic, who was denied by Julio Cesar in the 70th minute. The Juve club captain then doubled their lead with a shot into the far corner from Arturo Vidal's assist. Maicon saved Inter from further damage 10 minutes from time when he made a sliding tackle to deny Fabio Quagliarella from close range while Julio Cesar made two more spectacular saves to deny Giorgio Chiellini and Quagliarella as Juve threatened to run away with the game. http://www.soccerway...regular-season/

Gigi Buffon’s heroics denied Inter in the first half, then Martin Caceres and Alessandro Del Piero struck to secure a Juventus victory. Mar 25, 2012 The Derby d’Italia has always been a fiery occasion, but even more so since the Calciopoli scandal of 2006. The new Juventus Stadium makes very clear they do not acknowledge the two stripped titles, so maintain they have 29 Scudetti rather than 27. Indeed it was in huge letters all over the stadium choreography with the banner ‘That which we earned on the pitch with sweat, was handed to you in the courts.’ The Bianconeri got through to the Coppa Italia Final on Tuesday night against Milan in extra time, though the club insisted their unbeaten record remained intact despite losing 2-1 at the end of the 90 minutes. Inter faced a massive struggle to even qualify for the Europa League and pressure was building on ex-Juve Coach Claudio Ranieri. Wesley Sneijder and Ricky Alvarez were unavailable, so Diego Forlan and Diego Milito were picked in attack. The home side missed Emanuele Giaccherini and the suspended Stephan Lichtsteiner, so Martin Caceres stepped in and Andrea Barzagli returned from injury. Juve had their first chance within three minutes, as Julio Cesar beat away Simone Pepe’s pull-back to Alessandro Matri and the defence scrambled clear. Inter also threatened, as Douglas Maicon played through the middle for Milito, forcing Gigi Buffon to parry from close range. On 16 minutes Caceres crossed for Matri inbetween two defenders, his header that Julio Cesar did well to palm away from six yards. There was a bizarre moment when Claudio Marchisio was barged off the ball by teammate Mirko Vucinic just as he was about to cross in the Inter box, much to the midfielder’s bemusement. Marchisio did manage to get a cross away soon after, but Vucinic just failed to make contact with his head and, as the move continued, Matri ballooned over from a Caceres cut-back. Vucinic was again unable to get on the end of a wayward Caceres header from Pepe’s cross. Inter threatened from a Maicon corner, but Buffon performed a stunning reaction save at the near post from point-blank range on Forlan’s header. Milito also went very close, trapping a long ball over the top and stinging Buffon’s gloves from just inside the box, then firing the follow-up over. Buffon was becoming much the busier of the goalkeepers, again forced to parry a screamer of a Joel Obi strike from distance. Milito was furious when the referee waved play on after he clashed with Giorgio Chiellini on the counter, while Julio Cesar smothered a Vucinic effort. A poor clearance found Dejan Stankovic on the volley, but again Buffon was there to save with his legs in a reflex parry. After the restart Pepe pounced on a Yuto Nagatomo error, but Walter Samuel got back to block the shot. Alessandro Del Piero and Leonardo Bonucci replaced Matri and Pepe, moving to a three-man defence. Julio Cesar flew to fingertip a Marchisio blockbuster out from under the bar and from the corner Caceres was left in far too much space to nod in the Juventus opener. The Uruguayan defender was totally unmarked from eight yards and left the goalkeeper rooted to the spot. Buffon audaciously came well out of his area to clear from Milito, while Ranieri introduced Giampaolo Pazzini and Marco Davide Faraoni for Obi and Poli. Vucinic sprung the offside trap from Del Piero’s pass to be totally on his own against Julio Cesar, but fired straight at the goalkeeper. The move continued and this time Del Piero was the one who went clear, keeping his cool to pass it across Julio Cesar into the far bottom corner. The captain timed his run perfectly on an Arturo Vidal pass through three Inter defenders. It was Alex’s first Serie A goal of the season, the 186th in his career. It really should’ve been 3-0 when Chiellini burst through the distracted Nerazzurri defence and rolled across for Leonardo Bonucci at the back post, but Maicon performed a crucial goalline clearance with Julio Cesar well beaten. Chiellini went for goal himself with a bullet header from the set play, but Julio Cesar flew to palm it out from under the crossbar. Substitute Fabio Quagliarella muscled his way past Nagatomo to force another save at the near post. Chiellini was furious in stoppages when Milito ran with an arm into the back of his neck, but the referee waved play on. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Juventus:Buffon; Caceres, Barzagli, Chiellini, De Ceglie; Vidal, Pirlo, Marchisio; Pepe (Bonucci 53), Matri (Del Piero 53), Vucinic (Quagliarella 74) Inter:Julio Cesar; Maicon, Lucio, Samuel, Nagatomo; Zanetti, Stankovic, Poli (Pazzini 68), Obi (Faraoni 68); Forlan, Milito Ref:De Marco http://www.soccerway...regular-season/

Serie A Week 29 - 25-3-2012 (8:45 p.m.) 2 - 0 Martín Cáceres (57′) Alessandro Del Piero (71′) Juventus Stadium - Turin Referee: Andrea De Marco Attendance: 34000‎ Caceres and Del Piero settle Derby d'Italia and close gap to leaders AC Milan back to four points Second half goals from the Uruguayan and the Italian were enough to give the Bianconeri all three points, in what was a captivating encounter in Turin. Mar 25, 2012 Second half goals from Martin Caceres and Alessandro Del Piero were enough to give Juventus a 2-0 win over Inter at Juventus Stadium on Sunday. A header from the Uruguayan defender and a delightful first time finish by the veteran Italian striker gave the Old Lady a valuable win in their hunt to chase down leaders AC Milan at the top of the Serie A table. With Juventus fresh off the back of that Coppa Italia semi-final aggregate win over Milan on Tuesday, it was clear that Antonio Conte's men were brimming with confidence, and they started the game as such. The Bianconeri dominated possession in the early exchanges, but were nearly made to rue their lack of chances created on 13 minutes. Maicon made a trademark run down the right, cut inside, found the run of Diego Milito, and played the Argentine forward in on goal. Unfortunately for the Nerazzurri though, the former Genoa striker couldn't make the most of the opportunity, firing his shot straight at Gianluigi Buffon. Conte's men still had the monopoly on possession, but were now starting to create chances on goal, and they perhaps should have opened up their account on two occasions midway through the half. First, Alessandro Matri had a header from eight yards saved by Julio Cesar, and then just a few minutes later, a low cross from the right found Matri again, but the Italian forward could only hit his shot over the bar. Claudio Ranieri's side slowly started to impose themselves on the game; putting pressure on Andrea Pirlo, Claudio Marchisio and Arturo Vidal. And it was that leg-work that almost led to Inter opening their account for the night. Dejan Stankovic dispossessed Marchisio in the centre circle, and played a long, diagonal ball to Milito. The Argentine forward brought the ball down superbly, took it into the box, and fired a shot straight at Buffon, only for the ball to arrive back at his feet for a second attempt. Regrettably for the Nerazzurri though, that effort was also missed, and the sides went into the break all square. The second half began in almost the exact opposite way to the first, with Inter controlling the play but struggling to create any clear-cut chances. Milito was, as usual, full of running, but the Nerazzurri midfield four were finding it difficult to pick out the Argentine forward's darting runs. That lack of incisiveness came back to haunt Inter on 57 minutes. A corner from the right was whipped in by Pirlo, and the ball found Caceres, who, unmarked inside the six yard box, headed home easily for his first Serie A goal of the season. The Nerazzurri starting pushing desperately for an equaliser, but all that pressing left them exposed at the back, and Juventus took full advantage on 70 minutes. A delightful through ball by Vidal found the run of Del Piero, who, just inside the area, gently slipped it past the on-rushing Julio Cesar to make it 2-0. Late chances for Fabio Quagliarella and Giorgio Chiellini almost made the final scoreline even more resounding, but Conte's men had to settle what they had, as they closed the gap on leaders Milan back to four points. Inter remain in eighth, meanwhile, and now trail third-placed Lazio by 10 points. http://www.soccerway...regular-season/

Serie A Week 29 - 25-3-2012 (8:45 p.m.) - Juventus Stadium - Turin Referee: Andrea De Marco HT: Buffon heroics deny Inter Mar 25, 2012 Juventus may have dominated possession in the first half, but a series of fantastic Gigi Buffon saves have stopped Inter from taking the lead. The Derby d’Italia has always been a fiery occasion, but even more so since the Calciopoli scandal of 2006.

Serie A Week 29 - 25-3-2012 (8:45 p.m.) - Juventus Stadium - Turin Referee: Andrea De Marco Line-ups: Juventus-Inter Mar 25, 2012 Juventus have Simone Pepe, Alessandro Matri and Mirko Vucinic leading the line against Inter’s Diego Milito and Diego Forlan. The old rivals go head-to-head in Turin at 19.45 UK time and Claudio Ranieri faces his former club. The Bianconeri need a victory to keep up with leaders Milan, but have Stephan Lichtsteiner suspended and Emanuele Giaccherini out with flu symptoms. Martin Caceres receives a rare start at right-back in place of Lichtsteiner with Andrea Barzagli returning from injury to partner Giorgio Chiellini. Pepe, Matri and Vucinic retain their places in attack after the Coppa Italia semi-final result against Milan on Tuesday. Inter miss Wesley Sneijder and Ricky Alvarez for this trip to Turin, where they haven’t won since April 2005. Milito and Forlan are the front two despite the Uruguayan’s recent poor performances, while andrea Poli and Joel Obi push Esteban Cambiasso on to the bench. Juventus: 1 Buffon; 4 Caceres, 15 Barzagli, 3 Chiellini, 11 De Ceglie; 22 Vidal, 21 Pirlo, 8 Marchisio, 7 Pepe, 32 Matri, 14 Vucinic Juventus bench: 30 Storari, 19 Bonucci, 20 Padoin, 34 Marrone, 10 Del Piero, 18 Quagliarella, 23 Borriello Inter: 1 Julio Cesar; 13 Maicon, 6 Lucio, 23 Samuel, 55 Nagatomo; 4 Zanetti, 5 Stankovic, 18 Poli, 20 Obi; 9 Forlan, 22 Milito.

Marotta: 'Juve have 29 titles' Mar 25, 2012 Juventus general manager Beppe Marotta confirmed “our position on Calciopoli is rigid and intransigent.” The choreography ahead of tonight’s big match with Inter represented that position on Calciopoli, as 29 different Scudetto symbols were held up around the Juventus Stadium rather than the ‘official’ 27. There was also a banner: ‘That which we earned on the pitch with sweat, was handed to you in the courts.’ The Bianconeri had the 2004-05 and 2005-06 titles stripped in the Calciopoli trial, the latter handed to Inter. “Our position on Calciopoli is rigid and intransigent,” stated Marotta on Sky Sport Italia before kick-off. “We have 29 Scudetti that were won on the field. This is what we wrote at the entrance to the locker room in our stadium. We simply want our rights to be respected. “Our response will also be to win on the field. After all, our captains always raised trophies to the sky that were legitimately earned.”

Serie A Week 29 - 25-3-2012 (8:45 p.m.) - Juventus Stadium - Turin Referee: Andrea De Marco Forlan recalled for Derby d'Italia The striker allegedly refused to come off the bench during last Sunday's clash with Atalanta but he has been given the nod in the Nerazzurri attack ahead of Giampaolo Pazzini. Mar 25, 2012 Diego Forlan will start for Inter in Sunday night’s Serie A showdown with Juventus in Turin. The Uruguay international allegedly refused to come on as a substitute during the second half of last weekend’s 0-0 draw with Atalanta but coach Claudio Ranieri has paired the veteran forward with Diego Milito in the Nerazzurri attack, with Giampaolo Pazzini the man to make way. Elsewhere, Dejan Stankovic has also been recalled and the Serb’s inclusion results in Esteban Cambiasso dropping to the bench. Wesley Sneijder again misses out with a groin problem, meaning Inter will line out in a conventional 4-4-2, with Stankovic joining Javier Zanetti, Andrea Poli and Obi in midfield. As for the home side, Alessandro Matri returns in place of Alessandro Del Piero after sitting out the midweek Coppa Italia clash with AC Milan. In a boost for the Bianconeri, Andrea Barzagli is fit again after his recent calf trouble and he slots back into the centre of the defence at the expense of Leonardo Bonucci, while Martin Caceres fills in for the suspended Stephan Lichtsteiner at right-back. There are two other changes to the side which started against the Rossoneri, with Gianluigi Buffon taking over from Marco Storari in goal and Claudio Marchisio replacing Emanuele Giaccherini in midfield. Juventus (4-3-3): Buffon; Caceres, Barzagli, Chiellini, De Ceglie; Vidal, Pirlo, Marchisio; Pepe, Matri, Vucinic. Subs: Storari, Bonucci, Marrone, Padoin, Del Piero, Quagliarella, Borriello. Inter (4-4-2): Julio Cesar; Maicon, Lucio, Samuel, Nagatomo; Zanetti, Stankovic, Poli, Obi; Milito, Forlan. Subs: Castellazzi, Ranocchia, Chivu, Faraoni, Guarin, Cambiasso, Pazzini. http://www.soccerway...regular-season/
