Every fan has an unforgettable derby memory, even a personal ranking of favourite all-Turin clashes.
The Derby della Mole on 30 November 2014 must be positioned high on many a list.
QUICKLY AHEAD
Juve took the lead inside the opening quarter of an hour.
The referee pointed to the spot after a handball from Omar El Kaddouri inside the penalty area. Artur Vidal took the honour and sent Francois Gillet the wrong way.
The referee saw something amiss and obliged the Chilean to retake it. Vidal switched corners and although the Granata goalkeeper guessed right he couldn't do enough to keep it out.
ALL SQUARE AT THE BREAK
Were Juve on easy street? Far from it. Toro equalised just 10 minutes later following a solo run from his own half by Bruno Peres.
Even if Toro had taken strength from having ended a 12-year wait for a derby goal, before the break Vidal was offered the chance for a personal double just before the interval but fired off target.
ALLEGRI'S DERBY DEBUT
After his fair share of derbies in Milan, this was the first in Turin for Massimiliano Allegri.
There couldn't have been a more rewarding baptism of fire, also due to the difficulties that his team had to to face. The most important of which was the sending-off of Stephan Lichtsteiner 12 minutes from time.
With a player less, Allegri made a tactical switch: forward Carlos Tevez made way for defender Angelo Ogbonna.
THE TOUCH OF THE MAESTRO
It looked as if the match was destined to end in a draw. But with only a handful of seconds from the final whistle, in the pouring rain Andrea Pirlo conjured up a long-range daisy cutter, which whipped into the bottom corner.
A crazy goal, which unleashed unbridled derby joy on the pitch and in the stands. A memory that will never fade.
