Juventus had the first golden opportunity in the 12th minute. Federico Chiesa slipped the ball into the Kiev penalty area and fired a strong shot, but George Bushchan was denied.
Two minutes later, Juventus had another chance. Bushchan missed a Chiesa corner and the ball headed for Giorgio Chiellini, but his header went wide.
The pressure from Juventus does not stop there. Chiesa threatened again in the 15th minute after making an inside cut from the left, but this time his shot was deflected to the right of Kiev’s goal.
Disastrous for Chiellini in the 18th minute. He complained of pain in his leg and was unable to continue playing. Merih Demiral came in to replace him.

At minute 28, Juan Cuadrado launched a dangerous cross from the right into the Kiev penalty area, but Bushchan quickly blocked it.
In the 33rd minute, Bushchan performed brilliantly again. Aaron Ramsey entered the Kiev penalty area and fed Kulusevski, who seized the opportunity with a heel, but the Ukraine goalkeeper turned it down.
Kiev does not want to be pressured. Carlos De Pena made a long-range attempt in the 38th minute, but his shot was still secured by Juventus goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny.
Two minutes later, Juventus had another shot through Ramsey, but his shot from inside the area was also stopped by Bushchan.
During injury time, Kiev once again had the opportunity to score a goal from a free kick, but the execution of Viktor Tsyhankov provoked a hug from Szczesny. Score 0-0 to close the first half.
In the second half, Juventus stepped on the accelerator. In the 46th minute they opened the scoring. Álvaro Morata, barely visible in the first half, managed to get into Bushchan’s goal with Kulusevski’s shot ball. OBJECTIVE! 1-0 for Juventus.

One goal behind, Kiev tried to catch up, but their attempts to break through the Juventus defense could always be broken, even if the Bianconeri had to play a bit rough. Cuadrado was shown a yellow card in the 50th minute, followed by Demiral nine minutes later.

Juventus threatened Kiev’s goal again in the 73rd minute. Ramsey manages to receive a cross from Cuadrado and then opens a shot, but the result is not yet on target.
Kiev threatened two minutes later, this time with a header from Serhiy Sydorchuk, but Szczesny caught the ball with ease.
OBJECTIVE! Juventus doubled the advantage. Cuadrado’s center from the right in the 84th minute was finished off by Morata with a header that Bushchan couldn’t help. The score was 2-0 for Juventus and lasted until the long whistle.
