Cuadrado brace keeps Juve's UCL hopes alive
Juventus kept alive its UEFA Champions League qualification hopes with a dramatic 3-2 win over Serie A champion Inter Milan in the Derby d'Italia on Sunday (AEST).
Cristiano Ronaldo tapped home after his initial penalty was saved to put Juve ahead midway through the first half, but Romelu Lukaku drew Antonio Conte's side level soon after with a penalty of his own.
A Giorgio Chiellini own goal seven minutes from full-time cancelled out Juan Cuadrado's earlier strike, but the Colombia international sealed a vital three points for Juve – which had Rodrigo Bentancur dismissed early in the second half – in the 88th minute, powering home from the penalty spot after he had been brought down by Ivan Perisic, whose team-mate Marcelo Brozovic was sent off in stoppage-time.
The result moved Andrea Pirlo's side into the top four, although it could be usurped ahead of next weekend's final matchday if Napoli overcomes Fiorentina on Monday (AEST).
