Juventus beat four stars in Champions League

September 28, 2016 08:58

Striker duo Paulo Dybala and Gonzalo Higuain both scored to help Juventus win 4-0 right at Dinamo Zagreb's stadium on the evening of September 27.

Juventus opened the scoring in the 24th minute thanks to Miralem Pjanic taking advantage of a mistake by Dinamo Zagreb's defence. The Bosnian midfielder finished softly into the home team's net after the ball was cleared to him by a Zagreb defender.

The opening goal helped Juventus break the deadlock after a period of pressure at the beginning of the match. Just a few minutes later, Higuain scored to double the score and the assist was provided by Pjanic.

The second half saw two more goals for Juventus. Striker Dybala fired a beautiful 30-yard strike into the top corner early in the second half. Late in the match, Dani Alves hit the wall with a free kick to make it 4-0.

This victory helped Juventus rise to the top of Group H - Champions League. The Italian team has the same four points as Sevilla but has a better goal difference.

Zagreb started their Champions League campaign with a 0-3 defeat to Lyon, and poor domestic form saw coach Zlatko Kranjcar leave. Interim coach Zeljko Sopic has helped Zagreb recover somewhat, but facing Juventus is too big a challenge.

Despite playing away at Zagreb, the Turin team's superior class helped them play like they were at home. Juventus quickly dominated and created a series of chances in front of goalkeeper Semper's goal. Among them, Higuain's shot went over the bar from a pass from Dani Alves.

Juventus finally got the goal but needed help from their opponents. Leonardo Sigali's header turned into a perfect assist for Pjanic to open the scoring. Leonardo Bonucci had earlier made a very annoying through ball from home straight into Zagreb's 18-yard box.

The hosts came close to equalising shortly after conceding, with defender Gordon Schildenfeld hitting the crossbar from a free-kick, Zagreb's biggest moment of the game before they succumbed to Juventus' attacks and conceded three more goals.
