MILAN (AP) — Both Thuram brothers scored — for opposing teams — on Saturday, but it was Khephren who ended up celebrating after his Juventus side snatched a 4-3 win over Inter Milan in a thrilling Derby d’Italia on Saturday.

Marcus Thuram didn’t celebrate when he put Inter 3-2 up in the 76th minute but his younger brother Khephren certainly did when he netted the equalizer six minutes later.

Their dad, Lilian Thuram, was watching in the stadium. He was a standout defender for Juventus and won the World Cup with France in 1998.

Vasilije Adzic scored the winner in stoppage time to see Juventus maintain its perfect start to the Serie A season after winning its opening two matches without conceding a goal. Defending champion Napoli also made it three straight wins with a 3-1 victory at Fiorentina.

Inter had started the season by beating Torino 5-0 but was upset 2-1 at home by Udinese, heaping pressure on new coach Cristian Chivu, who replaced Simone Inzaghi in the offseason.

The game in Turin also marked the debut of the refcam in the Italian league, with the match official wearing a small video camera to provide viewers at home with an on-field look.

The opening goal came from a surprising source in the 14th minute. Manuel Locatelli floated a ball to the far post, where Bremer volleyed it back for Lloyd Kelly to drill into the bottom right corner. It was the English defender’s first goal for Juventus.

Hakan Çalhanoğlu equalized in the 30th with a trademark long-range shot but Kenan Yıldız restored Juve’s lead just eight minutes later, controlling a pass from Bremer with his back to goal and then turning to lash in a magnificent strike from 30 yards.

Inter upped the pressure after the break, however, and got a deserved equalizer in the 65th minute. Thuram did well to keep a cross from going out and the ball came out to Çalhanoğlu, who controlled it on his chest before smashing it into the far bottom corner.

Thuram headed in a corner to give Inter the lead for the first time in the match before his younger brother headed in a free kick.

There was still time for another screamer from distance as Adzic unleashed a fierce shot from 35 yards out that squirmed through the hands of Yann Sommer.

Rasmus Hojlund netted on his debut for Napoli, which is managed by former Chelsea coach Antonio Conte.

Hojlund — who joined from Manchester United on transfer deadline day — scored Napoli's second goal in the 14th minute, running onto Leonardo Spinazzola's through-ball and firing in off the far post.

Former Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne had converted a penalty for the opener in the sixth minute after Fiorentina defender Pietro Comuzzo had clattered into André-Frank Anguissa.

Sam Beukema also grabbed a debut goal in the 51st before Luca Ranieri scored a late consolation.

Elsewhere, Cagliari beat Parma 2-0 for its first victory of the season.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — French President Emmanuel Macron and South Korean President Lee Jae Myung agreed Friday to work together to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz and ease global economic uncertainties caused by the war in the Middle East.

Their summit in Seoul came as U.S. President Donald Trump slammed allies for not supporting the U.S. and Israeli war against Iran. Macron was making his first visit to South Korea since taking office in 2017, as part of an Asian tour that already has taken him to Japan.

Macron told Lee at the start of the meeting that the two countries can play a role in helping to stabilize the situation in the Middle East, including Iran’s chokehold on the Strait of Hormuz, which has unleashed shock on global energy markets.

At a joint televised briefing afterward, Macron underscored the need for France and South Korea to cooperate to help reopen the strait and deescalate Middle East animosities, while Lee said the two affirmed “their resolves to cooperate to secure the safe shipping route in the Strait of Hormuz.”

The two leaders did not take questions and did not elaborate on how they would help reopen the strait — the narrow waterway between Iran and Oman through which about one-fifth of the world’s oil usually passes.

“We need to clearly define, at the international level, the conditions for a process to ease the crisis and conflict in the Middle East,” Macron said. “We need to ensure that the Strait of Hormuz is reopened.”

Lee said he and Macron agreed to expand cooperation in technology, energy and other areas. South Korean and French officials also signed agreements to cooperate on nuclear fuel supply chains, jointly invest in an offshore wind project in southern South Korea and to collaborate on critical minerals. South Korea has moved to increase output at its nuclear reactors to mitigate the energy crunch and Lee has also called for a faster transition to renewable energy, saying the war has exposed the country’s heavy reliance on fossil fuel imports.

Macron’s Asia trip comes as Trump has ramped up his frustration with allies. In a speech Wednesday, Trump said Americans “don’t need” the strait but the countries who do “must grab it and cherish it.”

In an earlier Easter event at the White House, Trump called for his allies in Asia and China to get involved in reopening the waterway.

“Let South Korea, you know, we only have 45,000 soldiers in harm’s way over there, right next to a nuclear force — let South Korea do it,” Trump said. “Let Japan do it. They get 90% of their oil from the strait. Let China do it.”

The United States stations about 28,000 troops in South Korea, not the 45,000 stated by Trump. The U.S. troops’ deployment in South Korea is meant to deter potential aggressions from North Korea.

Macron has said reopening the Strait of Hormuz through a military operation is unrealistic.

South Korean officials have said they are in contact with Washington on the issue and that Seoul isn’t considering paying Iran transit fees to secure fuel shipments through the strait.
