The game …
In the 9th minute, Manchester City went ahead. Jérémy Doku found the net with a right-footed shot aimed at the bottom right corner. Juventus goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio had no chance. Rayan Aït-Nouri provided the assist.
Juventus leveled the score in the 11th minute. Teun Koopmeiners capitalized on a mistake by Ederson, who came off his line, and he made the Brazilian goalkeeper pay with a left-footed strike from the left side of the box into the bottom left corner.
In the 26th minute, Pierre Kalulu scored an own goal while trying to deflect Marmoush’s low cross into a corner, but instead, he accidentally sent the ball past Di Gregorio. As a result, Manchester City regains the lead.
In the 52nd minute, Erling Haaland scored a goal, capitalizing on Nunez’s assist following another excellent pass from Reijnders, and he still managed to get the ball into the net, albeit in a somewhat messy fashion.
Juventus 1 – 3 Manchester City
Turmoil for Juventus. In the 76th minute, Savinho scores after several attempts on goal and a save by Di Gregorio on Haaland, striking powerfully from outside the box and sending the ball beneath the crossbar. A significant loss for the Bianconeri.
