Juventus mortgage the round of 16 With a turn in advance thanks to the victory gained against the Wydad Moroccans 4-1. To drag the bianconeri is above all Yildizwho procures an auto and signs a brace in great style. Tudor’s team is enough 6 minutes to take the lead. At the end of a maneuvered action, Thuram pitches in the area for Yildiz himself who with his accident puts Benabid on his pole exploiting an involuntary deviation of Boutouil, then considered to be an own goal. The young Turkish talent is in great shape and at 16 ‘doubles. Cambiaso cuts the field from the left towards the center and rests with Yildiz, who throws a right right under the intersection of the poles, creating a goal of fine workmanship. The race seems downhill, but at 25 ‘it is the North Africans who shorten the distances. The Juventus defense is not reactive on a lateral remittance and Amrabat serves an assist to the kiss for Larch, who enters the area and exceeds with a bush of Gregorio for 2-1. At this point, Tudor’s men are lowered slightly but without running further risks until the end of the first fraction.
In the second half a strong wind rises, conditioning the game not a little. At 12 ‘, Juve touches the trio when Cambiaso hits the pole in full with a left on the fly on the developments of a corner beaten from the right. Five minutes later, the great opportunity happens on Kolo Muani’s foot, who sends out of two steps of first intention by frustrating an assist from the left of Cambiaso. But the goal is in the air and reaches the 24th minute. Kolo Muani verticalizes in the area for Yildiz, who returns to the right, jumps Boutouil and pierces the goalkeeper with a right plate in the distant corner. In full recovery he also enrolled in the challenge of Gregorio, author of two beautiful close parades, first on a right of Mwalimu and then on a Moufi header. Shortly thereafter, Vlahovic gets a penalty following a landing in the area by Guilherme. The Serbian striker presents himself from the spot, who surpasses Benabid and signs the 4-1 final. Juventus thus celebrates the second victory in a row and is ready to close its group on Thursday at 9 pm, in the big match against Manchester City which could determine the first place.
