Inter Milan and Juventus played out the wildest Derby d’Italia in recent memory this weekend.
The Nerazzurri opened the scoring early on through a Piotr Zielinski penalty. Then, Juventus hit back and took the lead with goals from Dusan Vlahovic and Tim Weah.
Just as quickly, Inter regained their advantage. Henrikh Mkhitaryan scored the equalizer, and then Zielinski scored from the spot once more to put them back ahead.
In the second half, Denzel Dumfries scored a fourth for Inter. This seemingly put the Nerazzurri home and away.
But the Bianconeri found the back of the net twice through substitute Kenan Yildiz to snatch a point.
As stats account Opta point out, this equalled an historical record for the fixture.
They tweeted after the match, “For the third time in the history of #SerieA, at least 8 goals were scored in a match between #Inter and #Juventus, after 10 June 1961 (9-1 for the Bianconeri) and 17 January 1932 (6-2 for the Bianconeri). Myriad.”
