Yildiz matches Cristiano Ronaldo feat in Torino 1-1 Juventus | OneFootball

Kenan Yildiz scored Juventus’s only goal during their 1-1 draw with Torino in the Derby della Mole in Serie A on Saturday, and in doing so, became the first player since Cristiano Ronaldo to score in both legs of the fixture in the same season.

Yildiz double delight in Torino-Juventus

Though Juventus were left disappointed to finish another game level, the 12th time that has happened in Serie A this season already, Yildiz was considered one of, if not the only bright spark in the Bianconeri team.

Yildiz had already scored with a header during Juve’s home match against Torino earlier in the season, an eventual 2-0 win on November 9.

With his goal in the away match against Torino on Saturday, Yildiz became the third-youngest player in history to score in both legs of the Derby della Mole in the same season.

Saturday’s goal was Yildiz’s fourth in Serie A so far this season, and his sixth across all competitions following his goal in the eventual 2-1 loss to Milan in the Supercoppa Italiana last week.

The draw against Torino was Juve’s 12th in Serie A this season, which means that Thiago Motta is still unbeaten in Serie A after 19 matches, but the Bianconeri find themselves outside of the Champions League spots in fifth place on 33 points, 11 shy of Napoli at the top of the table.
