Juventus qualifying to the Europa League Semifinal after defeating Lyon at the Juventus Stadium.   Juventus also won the away game against Olympique Lyonnais
at the Stade de Gerland in Lyon, France thanks to the goal by defender
Leonardo Bonucci: Olympique Lyon 0 – 1 Juventus 

Super victory for Juventus and a special day for Goalkeeper Gigi Buffon.  His inclusion in the starting line-up for the 
European quarter-final second leg sees him draw level with club
legend Roberto Bettega on 482 appearances in the black and white
stripes.

Things starting well for Juventus.  In the 4th minute, it is midfielder Andrea Pirlo to open the score with his trademark from a direct free kick defeating Lyon goalkeeper Anthony Lopes.

A headache for Juventus!  In the 18th minute, it is Lyon forward Jimmy Briand to equalize defeating Juventus goalkeeper Gigi Buffon with a headed shot.  The assist by midfielder Arnold Mvuemba.
 

Wow, !  A headed goal by Carlos Tevez is ruled out for being offside in the 61st minute.  Tevez started to run celebrating when suddenly watching the flag signaling the offside.

Juventus with a midfielder Mauricio Isla sending the ball to midfielder Claudio Marchisio in the 68th minute.  Here comes Marchisio with a super mega long range shot goal, and what a crazy goal because the shot is deflected by Lyon defender Samuel Umtiti surprising goalkeeper Lopes going the wrong way.  Mamma mia, what a goal!  Marchisio holding his mouth showing surprise, but the celebration at the Juventus stadium is loud.  Closeup from goalkeeper Buffon also celebrating.

Here is JUVENTUS official starting lineup by coach Antonio Conte:

Juventus (3-5-2): Buffon; Caceres, Bonucci, Chiellini; Isla, Vidal, Pirlo, Marchisio, Asamoah; Tevez, Vucinic.

Here is OLYMPIQUE LYONNAIS official starting lineup by coach Garde:
