Juventus kicked off the 2024-25 season with a victory in their Serie A Week 1 match on Monday, August 19, 2024, at the Allianz Stadium in Turin, Italy. Unfortunately for Como, who just moved up from Serie B, they struggled in this challenging encounter. The Thiago Motta era began on a positive note, as the team celebrated a winning debut with a solid performance, scoring three goals against Como.

Samuel Mbangula, in his senior debut, got things started with a goal in the 23rd minute. Just after halftime, Timothy Weah, with an assist from Yildiz, doubled the lead in the 46th minute. Dušan Vlahović came close to scoring twice, hitting the post on both attempts, while Andrea Cambiaso capped off the match with a goal in the 91st minute. Looking ahead, Juventus will head to Verona for their next game, while Como will face Cagliari away.

The two teams meet on the opening day of Serie A for the first time since the 1988/89 season, when Juventus won 3-0.  In fact, two of Como’s last three season debuts in the top division have been against Juventus, both resulting in losses.

Let’s roll the ball…

What an impressive way to lead the Bianconeri! Samuel Mbangula, just 20 years old, put Juventus ahead in the 23rd minute. He skillfully outmaneuvered Como’s goalkeeper, Pepe Reina, with a precise right-footed shot into the bottom right corner.  On the positive side, Mbangula is living up to Coach Thiago Motta’s expectations after being selected as a standout talent from the Next Gen squad.

Another goal, and the excitement is at an all-time high!!

Juventus are on fire! Undoubtedly, a spectacular goal before ending the first half in the 45+1.  On this occasion, Timothy Weah scored with a left footed shot to the center. First, Yildiz delivered a low cross, second, Vlahovic faked a move, and Weah took a left-footed shot right away.  As a result, the ball struck the crossbar before sailing over the goal line.

The victory is sealed in the 91st minute. Andrea Cambiaso scored with a powerful left-footed strike sending the ball into the bottom left corner. The assist came from Samuel Mbangula.
