Juventus cruise to UCL win over PSV

Juventus kicked off their Champions League campaign with a convincing win over PSV Eindhoven at Allianz Stadium.

Kenan Yildiz opened the scoring in the 21st minute with a stunning curling shot that found the net off the post.

At just 19 years old, Yildiz has now become the youngest goalscorer in Juventus history in the competition, surpassing club legend Alessandro Del Piero.

Energized by Yildiz’s goal, Juve continued to press and extended their lead six minutes later with a goal from 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.
