Juventus v Dortmund: madcap match, Sporting's rivals saved late | OneFootball

Juventus and Borussia Dortmund were the protagonists of the first night of the Champions League. The Italians and Germans drew 4-4 last Tuesday night, September 16, at the Allianz Stadium. It's worth remembering that the "vecchia signora" is one of the opponents of Sporting in the new edition of the millionaire competition.

The impressive eight goals were all scored in the second half. The scoreboard was opened in the 52nd minute by the visiting team, through a combination play by Guirassy, who assisted Karim Adeyemi for the shot. 11 minutes later, Kenan Yildiz restored parity for the home team, after an assist from the Portuguese João Mário.

What followed was a series of goals in quick succession. At the 65th minute, Fleix Nmecha once again gave Borussia Dortmund the lead, making it 2-1. At 67’, it was Dusan Vlahovic's turn to score his first of the night and make it 2-2. Just 15 minutes from the end, Yan Couto and Ramy Bensebaini increased the yellow team's lead to two goals.

Anyone who thought the match would end there was mistaken. Already in injury time, the "bianconeri" showed signs of life. First, it was Dusan Vlahovic, reducing the Germans' lead at 90+4’, and it took just 2 more minutes for Lloyd Kelly to equalize the game at four. In a crazy match, the teams ended up sharing the points.

It should be remembered that Juventus is one of Sporting's opponents in this new edition of the Champions League, with a match scheduled for November 4, at 8 PM, in Turin. Meanwhile, the Alvalade Club will make its debut in the millionaire competition next Thursday, September 18, against Kairat.
