Juve-Borussia 4-4: GOAL by Adeyemi, Yildiz, Nmecha, Vlahovic (2), Couto, Bensebaini and Kelly

Infinite history. In a fun game, unpredictable and tired of goals, Juventus and Borussia Dortmund draw 4-4 on the first day of the Champions League, but for the sequence of the Allianz Stadium networks at the end to exult Juventus, with two goals in the recovery minutes. Kenan Yildiz’s show – a goal, an assist and a pole – and Dusan Vlahovic – brace and decisive assist -, but the final courses are by Lloyd Kelly in 96 ‘, still scored after Inter. For Borussia Dortmund, Karim Adeyemi, Felix Nmecha, Yan Couto and Ramy Bensebaini scored.

Looking for Opennda

In the mirror formations of the Allianz Stadium, there is some surprises. Especially in the Juventus house, because the captain’s armband – on the debutant black shirt – fits on the left arm of Gleison Bremer being Teun Koopmeiners favorite to Manuel Locatelli in the median: the return from the disqualification of Andrea Cambiaso “pushes” on the right wing the Jolly Weston McKengen, while returning to the three defensive Pierre Kalulu with Federico Gatti on the bench. In the other half of the field there is initially Jobe Bellingham, while the former goal Adeyemi is the threat of the trocar together with Maximilian Beier. Obviously, Serhou Guirassy. The famous extra spaces that are always expected in Europe are there, but Juventus is needed a quarter of an abundant accommodation to understand how and when to throw forward towards Lois Ondenda, to the debut as a starter and supported by the couple formed by Yildiz and Jonathan David. Borussia Dortmund builds in fact with a spirit of initiative and a little in a hurry, with the black and white defense that – although not risking anything for 45 minutes – is continuously solicited by deep launches, bell towers and filters towards the three Gialloneri strikers. In the offensive phase it works and amuses the left chain with Cambiaso and Yildiz who dynamically dialogue, but the maneuver often ends up sobbing for the many technical errors on one side and on the other.

Adeymi removes the cap

If in the sky the fireworks open the evening at the time of the Champions League’s Nono, the players on the pitch do not propose the same show. At first, certainly not funny, the most clear opportunity reaches the 4th minute with a shot from the distance of Khephren Thuram that Gregor Kobel must deviate with the tip of his fingers to devise him from the intersection of the posts. Bremer, David and Openda then try at different times to make themselves dangerous, without succeeding. The first shock of the Germans from the parts of Michele Di Gregorio arrives instead at the beginning of the recovery with a very long launch that finds the goalkeeper a little inaccurate out, so much so that he leaves the glimmer to Beier to hit the external pole from a very secluded position. It is not a real danger, but the prelude to the imminent advantage of the guests: at 52 ‘Guirassy serves Adeyemi at the edge of the area and the German, too free to hit, moves the ball from the range of action of Lloyd Kelly and crosses the ground base with Bremer who bets on the wrong side in closing.

Tell me who is ten

The network of the German advantage reveals a certain approximation of the hosts, flared and not very aggressive in marking, so little before the hour of the game Guirassy does not double: Mckennie falls into the small area and serves it, but the center forward bangs on Di Gregorio. When Koopmeiners shoots in the curve after a splendid fast exchange in the area, the audience is unwary and wake up at the same time, but Igor Tudor understands that it is time to change: inside Vlahovic for David – OPENDA backward – and Joao Mario for McKennie on the right. If the coach’s intent is to change the variables involved, to understand that he has touched the right points, just a few minutes: at 64 ‘Joao Mario takes the initiative on the right trocar and cuts the field towards the center in progression, finding Yildiz waiting for him. The number 10 settles the ball for a moment and kicks it divinely under the far crossing.

More barrels than answers

In the stands of the Allianz Stadium the audience jumps and praises his star, but the legs of the fans give when-a minute later-just outside the penalty area Adeyemi unloads the ball for Nmecha, who also proves to know where the crossing: 1-2 at 65 ‘. The game, however, is inflamed, in the face of the compact rhythms of the first half and the Juventus BPM too high for the surrender. Yildiz at 68 ‘still creates, seeing the space where the defenders of Borussia Dortmund see their own certainties: illuminating filter for Vlahovic, who lights up Kobel by crossing power. Tudor then tries to ride the enthusiasm and also inserts Locatelli (Koopmeiners whistled) and the hero of the Italy derby Vasilije Adzic for Opennda. Nothing to do: Thuram loses the ball out of the 30 meters and couto, guilty of the snatch, Gela di Gregorio on his first post. And with him all the Stadium for the third time.

It is never over

–

Despite three blows on the rapid sequence, Yildiz has no intention of abandoning hopes and Juventus with him. His shot of tremendous power from the edge of the area is deflected by Kobel on the pole, but in the following action he arrives on the knockout of Borussia Dortmund, because the referee François Letexier considers the “crocodile” in the move of Kelly beyond the regulation, which is thrown to the ground to hinder Bensebaini’s low shot: the VAR analyzes the images in which the English seems to be hit first of all, but then confirms the decision of the race director and Bensebaini himself at the 86 ‘displaces of Gregorio on penalty. Game over? Macché, while the professionals of the anti-trafficking early release leave the Stadium, in recovery Juventus puts it up sensationally. At 94 ‘an apparently harmless ball is recovered on the right wing and Vlahovic signs his brace as a bird of prey on Kalulu’s cross and at 96’ is even Kelly head to complete the feat: Vlahovic dressed as assistant and cross, Lloyd in a head dive supports on the net. The Check Var lottery keeps everyone suspended, but then the green traffic light gives the first sweaty point to the bianconeri in this crazy Champions League. Crazy, crazy Juventus.
