A daring first success in the Champions League for Juventus. The Norwegians of Bodo took the lead in the 27th minute with Blomberg but in the second half the introduction of Yldiz changed the momentum of the match and the Bianconeri overturned the result with goals from Openda (47′) and McKennie (59′). In the final, the home team equalized on a penalty with Fet in the 87th minute but in an attempt to win they discovered themselves and suffered a 2-3 from David who took advantage of a great personal move by Yldiz again.
Goals from Openda, McKennie and David bring Juve to 6 but the real cover man is Kenan Yildizwho on his 100th in black and white enters the field at half-time and changes a match which in the first forty-five minutes had reserved the same difficulties encountered in recent years by Roma and Lazio on the Norwegian synthetic team. It’s a two-faced race. Bodo started better and played from memory and broke the deadlock in the 27th minute. Following the development of a corner kick, Hogh extends his header to the far post for Blomberg who kicks with his left foot and makes Perin’s intervention useless. Juventus’ reaction is timid.
The Bianconeri’s best chance in the first half came in the 44th minute. From the right, McKennie catches the usual Conceicao in the area, who coordinates for the first right-footed shot but is unable to apply power or find the corner. However, it is an encouraging sign. However, Yildiz’s entry is needed to give the definitive turning point to Juventus’ evening. At the beginning of the second half, in the 48th minute, the equalizer arrived. An insistent action leads the Turkish playmaker to shoot: the shot is deflected onto the feet of Openda who finds his first goal in the black and white shirt with his right foot. In the 54th minute there was also the overtaking goal, but VAR canceled Miretti’s goal for offside. The 2-1 goal was only postponed. It all starts from the feet of the usual Yildiz who dribbles free and serves Miretti in the area, who draws a soft cross towards the center: McKennie overpowers Bjorkan and beats Haikin with a header. In the final Conceicao has the ball to make it 3-1, but the Russian goalkeeper closes the door with a shot from the back.
Everything happens in the finale. In the 83rd minute Cabal commits a naive penalty foul on Auklend, Brunstad Fet goes from eleven meters and displaces Perin. Shortly after another scare: Hauge spreads panic and protests after a contact in the area, Moe has the three-point ball and wastes it. This is where Juventus’ winning goal came from. Yildiz does almost everything: he skips Sjovold and finds space to kick. Haikin saves, but on the tap in there is David’s winning touch. Now Juventus can look to their European journey with optimism: next match on 10 December at home against Pafos. Then Benfica (21 January) and Monaco (28 January).
