Match Report
Yildiz put Juventus in front in the eighth minute with a low shot from outside the box, having received the ball from fellow youngster Nicolo Savona before driving inside.
However, Juventus were unable to build on their advantage and Vlasic levelled in first-half stoppage time, firing a powerful strike against the upright and in.
Coaches Paolo Vanoli and Thiago Motta were both sent off early in the second half as Savona's challenge on Yann Karamoh just outside Juve's box led to a scuffle.
Juve went closest to a winner when Vanja Milinkovic-Savic made a fine save to deny Bianconeri attacker Nico Gonzalez, and while they remain unbeaten in Serie A this season, they have now drawn 12 of their 19 games.
They remain fifth in the standings on 33 points, while Torino are 11th with 22 points, having played one game more than their neighbours.

Data Debrief: Milinkovic-Savic keeps Juve at bay
Juventus have become just the second team to draw at least 12 of their opening 19 matches of a Serie A season in the three-points-for-a-win era, after Inter in 2004-05 (13).
Torino had Milinkovic-Savic to thank for their point, as he made eight saves. He also made seven when the Turin rivals faced off in October 2022, in a 1-0 win for Juve.
He is the first Torino goalkeeper to make at least seven saves in two separate Serie A games against Juve since Opta began collecting this data in 2004-05.
