Juventus returns three points from Dynamo Kiev

Juventus beat Dynamo Kiev in the first phase of Group G matches of the Champions League on Tuesday.

Juventus made up for their disappointing result last Saturday when they fell to a 1-1 draw with Crotone in the Italian league.

Spaniard Álvaro Morata, who returned to Juventus this season, scored the first goal for the Italian champions in the forty-sixth minute, before scoring the second goal himself six minutes before the end, noting that the group includes Barcelona, Spain, and Francois, Hungary.

Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo, Juventus’ top scorer, missed the match due to his recent infection with the Corona virus.

Andrea Pirlo began his career as a coach in the Champions League competition with a beautiful victory for Juventus.

The Kiev match, which was watched by nearly 15,000 fans from the stands, was actually Pirlo’s fourth as coach (not counting the Napoli match because the latter did not attend and counted as 0-3 losing), and he achieved his second victory and came at the expense of his Romanian “mentor” Mirchia Lucescu, who was the first in The “Maestro” gave his professional start as a player 25 years ago in Brescia, when he was 16 years old.

Once again, Pirlo preferred not to start with Argentine forward Paulo Dybala, who seemed resentful, and played with Sweden’s Diane Koloshevsky, alongside Morata, with fellow debutants Federico Chiesa and Welshman Aaron Ramsey behind.

Despite imposing its control at the start of the match against its host, Juventus could not threaten the goal in the first minutes, but after ten minutes it began to reach the goal of Heorhe Buchan, either through Chiesa or the captain Giorgio Chiellini, but without moving the net.

Then, Pirlo’s team suffered a blow with the injury of Chiellini, who was forced to leave his place early for the comfort of Turkish Demiral (19), coinciding with the decrease in rhythm and the closure of the game in midfield without occasions until the 28th minute when Colombian Juan Cuadrado put his luck to the test with a shot that was stopped by Buchan (28), then intervened. The latter brilliantly denied Koloshevsky a magnificent goal with his heel (31).

Just seconds after the start of the second half, Juventus found their way to the net via Morata, who scored his second straight goal in his new team jersey (he scored a draw against Crotone) after being in the right place for follow the ball into the net after Buchan stopped it after a shot from Koloshevsky (46).

Pirlo then dropped Dybala in place of Koloshevsky, seeking reinforcements, but the result remained unchanged until the 84th minute, when Morata added the second goal with a header off a cross from Cuadrado.
