Allegri made some tactical changes in the second half which helped Juve win the match. He switched the full backs to stop the attacks through the right flank by Politano and Vrsaljko. As a result, Cancelo was somewhat relieved and able to concentrate more on his overlapping runs. The goal came from his cross.

Allegri also shifted Mandzukic to left wing to combine with Cristiano Ronaldo. Mandzukic’s frequent switches to the left flank made his markers move with him and created spaces in and around the Inter penalty box.
Blaise Matuidi and Paolo Dybala exploited those spaces and troubled Samir Handanovic with their attempts at goal. Matuidi had almost scored a goal with a powerful shot, but it was blocked by an Inter defender.
Mandzukic scored his 42nd goal for Juve in the process. Thus, Allegri again demonstrated why he is one of the best coaches in the world.
