Inter`s First, Then Juventus`: Third Instance of Sibling Goals in Serie A
It was a truly memorable evening in Italian football, as Marcus and Khephren Thuram both remarkably found the net in the highly anticipated clash between Juventus and Inter. This fixture achieved historic status not only for its thrilling conclusion but also for the rare sight of two brothers scoring in the same match, each for opposing teams. Adding an ironic twist, both goals were headers, a fundamental skill that their father, the legendary Lilian Thuram, often playfully critiques in his sons.
This event marks only the third instance in Serie A history where a pair of brothers has managed to score against each other. The pioneering duo were Istvan and Ferenc Nyers, who first achieved this feat during an Inter-Lazio match at San Siro in 1949, a game that saw the Nerazzurri emerge victorious. Decades later, in 2020, Lorenzo and Roberto Insigne replicated this unique occurrence in a Benevento-Napoli encounter. Curiously, the Neapolitans secured a 1-2 win, precisely the same scoreline as the Nyers` clash 71 years prior. While the Juventus-Inter match had a different final result, it shared the same extraordinary coincidence: both Khephren and Marcus Thuram, brothers by blood, each left their mark on the scoreboard.
