Juventus 1-2 Inter: Chico Conceição pulls one back but Inter hold on in Perth (full match highlights)

Inter Milan secured a 2-1 victory over Juventus in their pre-season friendly at the Optus Stadium in Perth, Australia, on August 8, 2026. Federico Dimarco opened the scoring in the 20th minute with a powerful strike after being set up by Ange-Yoan Bonny. Andy Diouf doubled the lead in the 38th minute, capitalising on a corner kick that found its way to him after a scramble in the box. Juventus pulled one back in the 73rd minute through Chico Conceição, who had replaced Edon Zhgrova in the 63rd minute. The Portuguese winger cut inside from the right flank and fired a low shot into the far corner, beating Ivan Provedel to score his first goal for the Bianconeri. Conceição joined Juventus from Sporting in the summer transfer window and this was his debut goal for the club. The match was played in front of a capacity crowd of 65,000 at the impressive Perth stadium. Juventus, now managed by Luciano Spalletti who replaced Thiago Motta in June 2026, showed a spirited reaction in the second half but couldn't find an equaliser. Cristian Chivu's Inter, who took over at the start of 2026, looked more cohesive and deserved the victory. Can Juventus learn from this defeat ahead of the Serie A season opener?
