On 25 October 1998, at the Delle Alpi in Turin, the first Italian derby took place after Ceccarini's penalty incident, with Juventus once again triumphing over Inter by 1-0. The match saw a goal from DelPiero that year, but the victory was achieved thanks to a goal from Pinturicchio, which confirmed the traditional rivalry between the two teams.
The match was characterized by a series of controversial events. After a first half in which Juventus seemed to dominate, the Bianconeri suffered Zidane's expulsion, accused of a "bad move" with a straight leg on PauloSousa, a gesture that could have also led to a sanction with the VAR. Subsequently, a Galante penalty on FilippoInzaghi was disallowed, while DelPiero took the opportunity to score the only goal of the match, ending the match with a result 1‑0 in favor of Juventus.
Among other dismissals, Davids was also sent off the pitch. The final result confirmed Juventus' superiority over an Inter team that had to deal with a series of sanctions and one player less. Juventus coach Marcello Lippi guided the team to victory, while Luigi Simoni tried to keep Inter in the game despite the difficulties.
With this result, Juventus has consolidated its position in the standings, while Inter will have to review their strategy to regain competitiveness for the season. The rivalry between the two teams continues to be a key event for fans and for Italian football.
