TORINO (ITALPRESS) – Juventus beats 2-0 Pafos in the sixth day of the first stage of Champions and with this success, the second in a row in the tournament, climbs to 9 points in the standings increasing the chances of qualifying at the next stage of the competition. The evening had not begun however for the right direction for the Bianconeri and you have to start from the end of the first time and from the whistles of the Allianz Stadium, to tell what was a first part of the race of bad invoice. A Juventus once again abrupt and without ideas showed only with a possession sterile ball that produced really little. A round shot of Yildiz at the 8′ diverted in dive from Michail and, above all, a touch under David’s door that did not find the mirror at the 42′ on Kelly’s head axle are the episodes worthy of note of the first 45 minutes in which, instead, a Pafos without any reverential fear was appreciated by entertainment and personality. Since the first jokes, the Cypriot team has presented itself with good regularity near the door of Di Gregorio and the most clear occasion was that happened to 32′ on the feet of Anderson Silva that with a right plate at the height of the penalty disk hit the pole to the left of the goalkeeper, while at 33′ on a corner beaten by Orsic was Dragomir to try us with a “turned wheel” of Gregorio.
In the shooting, Juventus more enterprising and, with the passing of the minutes, even more offensive in an attempt to win this important score in the race to the tournament’s direct elimination phase. After four minutes of the resumption of hostilities, Yildiz did not find the winning tap-in on a conclusion from outside of Koopmeiners deviated by Michail, while at the quarter of an hour the extreme Cypriot defender dismissed to repel with the body a close conclusion of Conceicao. Prelude of the Bianconero advantage arrived with McKennie at 22′: found by Cambaso, the American jumped an opponent and from a defiled position put the ball at the intersection on the first pole. Six more minutes and the Bianconero doubling that has actually closed the race: from a Coinceicao play to midfield, good to win between two opponents, the ball ended on the left at Yildiz who served David lesto to stop the ball and beat Michail razor.
