BODO (NORWAY) (ITALPRESS) – Juventus’ first win in the Champions League came with incredible suffering in Norway. The Juventus team beat Bodo Glimt 3-2 at Aspmyra in a gritty final and moved up to six points in the standings. Goals from Openda, McKennie and David were decisive, but the real substitute was Kenan Yildiz, who scored his 100th goal in black and white entering the field in the first half and changing the game which in the first forty-five minutes had the same difficulties faced in recent years by Roma and Lazio in the Norwegian synthetic team. This is a two-faced race. Bodo started better as they played from memory and broke the deadlock in the 27th minute. Following the development of a corner, Hogh passed his header to the far post for Blomberg who kicked with his left foot and rendered Perin’s intervention useless. Juventus’ reaction was shy. The Bianconeri’s best chance in the first half occurred in the 44th minute. From the right, McKennie caught the usual Conceicao in the penalty area, who coordinated to fire a first-time right-footed shot but was unable to muster the power or find the corner. However, this is an encouraging sign. However, Yildiz’s introduction was necessary to provide a definitive turning point in Juventus’ evening. At the start of the second half, in the 48th minute, the equalizer came. The continuous action made the Turkish playmaker open a shot: the shot was deflected into the feet of Openda who scored his first goal in the black and white uniform with his right foot. In the 54th minute there was also a goal, but VAR canceled Miretti’s goal for offside. The 2-1 goal was only postponed. It all started with Yildiz’s customary feet dribbling freely and serving to Miretti in the penalty area, who delivered a soft cross towards the center: McKennie beat Bjorkan and beat Haikin with a header. In the final, Conceicao controlled the ball to make it 3-1, but the Russian goalkeeper closed the door with a shot from behind. It all happened in the final. In the 83rd minute Cabal committed a naive penalty foul on Auklend, Brunstad Fet kicked from eleven meters and replaced Perin. Shortly after another scare: Hauge spreading panic and protests after contact in the area, Moe got a three-point ball and squandered it. This is where Juventus’ winning goal was created. Yildiz did almost everything: he got past Sjovold and found space to kick. Haikin made the save, but in his tap there was David’s winning touch. Now Juventus can look to their European journey with optimism: their next match is on December 10 at home against Pafos. Then Benfica (January 21) and Monaco (January 28).
