Juventus cruise to Champions League win over PSV

Juventus vs PSV Eindhoven

Juventus started their Champions League campaign with a comfortable victory over PSV Eindhoven at Allianz Stadium.

Kenan Yildiz gave Thiago Motta’s side the lead in brilliant fashion in the 21st minute with a powerful, curling effort that flew in off the post.

The 19-year-old’s strike means he has replaced Juventus legend Alessandro del Piero as the club’s youngest goalscorer in Europe’s elite competition.

Buoyed by Yildiz’s goal, Juve pushed forward and added a second goal six minutes later through former Leeds midfielder Weston McKennie.

The United States international slotted beyond PSV goalkeeper Joel Drommel with a first-time finish from seven yards out.

Six minutes into the second half, Dusan Vlahovic guided a beautiful pass across the box to find Nicolas Gonzalez.

The Argentine took one touch to set himself before firing beyond Drommel to score his first for Motta’s side to make it 3-0.

With the last kick of the game, Ismael Saibari netted a consolation for the Dutch Eredivisie champions after being found by a fine pass from Johan Bakayoko.

Juventus travel to Germany next to take on RB Leipzig, while PSV welcome Sporting Lisbon to Philips Stadion.
