Guys, the  bragging rights of the City of Turin is for Juventus thanks to the goal of defender Giorgio Chiellini!!!!!  The 162nd Derby is for la Vecchia Signora!!!

Here is the official starting eleven formation for TORINO by coach Walter Novellino:

TORINO: Sereni; Colombo, Natali, Dellafiore, Pisano; Iganzio Abate, Dzemaili, Eugenio Corini, Barone; Alessandro Rosina, Stellone.

Here is the official starting eleven formation for FC JUVENTUS  by Coach Claudio Ranieri:

FC JUVENTUS: Gigi Buffon; Jonathan Zebina, Mellberg, Giorgio Chiellini, Molinaro; Salihamidzic, Poulsen, Marchisio, Sebastian Giovinco; Amauri, Vincenzo Iaquinta.

I must said that I  was upset in the beginning of the match because Juventus flag Alessandro Del Piero was on the bench and not in the starting line up.  Wow, then, the other Juventus symbols Pavel Nedved and David Trezeguet on the bench too!!!!  Oh wow... I was like hello, hum, hello, knock, knock, anybody home!!!!   Hum! 

Well, it made sense  because Juventus coach Claudio Ranieri is thinking on the Champions League match next week against Chelsea.  Though, still, what kind of DERBY DELLA MOLE without Juventus flag Del Piero????   

Torino at least had their  flag midfielder Alessandro Rosina battling for the bragging rights. Well, for Juventus the one symbol and what a symbol is Saint goalkeeper Gigi Buffon defending the honor of the Old Lady.  So, ok, I can digest this derby... though, I will still hope to seee Del Piero and Trezeguet. It is tough because Ranieri cannot risk any injuries and better to have Del Piero ready in the big scenario to keep the dream of winning the Champions League this season. 

The challenge is for forwards Vincenzo Iaquinta and Amauri to take the lead now.

Hey, guys, talking about seeing action in the Derby.. I love this photo where Amauri's hair is flying during a struggle with Torino defender Paolo Bellafiore.  That's catching the "action live." Photo:AFP PHOTO/ Filippo MONTEFORTE

The first half witout goals. In the 49th minute, Amauri gets an assist by Claudio Marchisio though Torino goalkeeper Sereni saves in the center of the goal, guys! 

Problems started for Torino when midfielder Alessandro Rosina had to be substituted in the 51st mintue for injury.  Time for Nicola Ventola.

In the 59th minute, Ranieri makes a substitution.  Jonatahan Zebina out, young Lorenzo Ariaudo in.

Finally,  the Derby starts getting some meaning with the incorporation of midfielder Pavel Nedved replacing Sebastian Giovinco in the 68th minute.  Wow, cool..... I mean, come on, this is the DERBY DELLA MOLE and the key players are needed.  Maybe Ranieri will bring Del Piero later....

In the 72nd minute, a combo Pavel Nedved - Giorgio Chiellini.  Nedved making a cross to Chiellini heading the ball from the center of the box though no luck because Torino goalkeeper Sereni saves in the bottom right corner! 

wow, goalkeeper Sereni is having a good match and so far it is a draw.

In the 75th minute, Torino coach walter Novellino makes a substitution and the ex Juventino Eugenio Corini is out, Jurgen Saumel in

It was until the 81st minute that Juventus finally opens the heavens at the Olimpico di Torino Stadium!   An assist by the Golden Boy Pavel Nedved from a free kick finding Giorgio Chiellini heading the ball from close range blasting Torino goalkeeper Sereni in the top left corner.  Wow, guys, it is the 3rd goal of Chiellini this season!
