Kenan Yildiz delivers stunning performance in Juventus’ thrilling comeback draw against Borussia Dortmund | OneFootball

Juventus star Kenan Yildiz extended his rich vein of form this season after putting in a masterclass of a performance in the thrilling 4-4 draw against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League opener.

Coming off a brilliant display against Inter Milan in the derby – where he orchestrated a monumental comeback, the Turkish prodigy once again bailed out the Bianconeri from a vulnerable position.

Yildiz cancelled Karim Adeyemi’s opener with an outrageous goal from outside the box, finding the top right corner past Gregor Kobel.

Although Dortmund took the lead again through Felix Nmecha, Juve restored the parity soon, with Dusan Vlahovic latching on to Yildiz’s inch-perfect through ball to find the back of the net.

While Dortmund appeared to be running away with a victory after a strong 4-2 lead, strikes from Vlahovic and Lloyd Kelly in injury time helped the Old Lady mount an impossible comeback.

Yildiz was the constant driving force behind the victory. He created three big chances, completed four dribbles and hit a passing accuracy of 92%. His defensive contributions were palpable with seven recoveries and winning six duels.

The 20-year-old has been pivotal behind Igor Tudor’s side’s impressive start to the new season, picking up three consecutive wins in Serie A, followed by a draw against Dortmund last night.

After registering 12 goals and nine assists in all competitions last term, Yildiz has now racked up two goals and four assists in just four games. He looks poised to hit newer heights this season with his growing influence at Juve.

Vlahovic has been enjoying a resurgence after going through a turbulent summer, dominated by his exit speculations. The Serbian centre-forward is now proving to be a match-winner for Tudor’s side, having bagged four goals and an assist in four games this season.

The Italian giants will turn their attention towards Saturday’s Serie A away fixture against Hellas Verona.
