The first half was difficult for the Bianconeri, who could not find their game. Paphos had some great chances to score, including Anderson Silva’s shot that hit the post and Dragomir’s dangerous shot that forced goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio to make an excellent reaction.
In the second half, Juventus changed the course of the game. In the 56th minute, Weston McKenney opened the scoring after a set piece: he received a pass from Andrea Cambiaso, turned and sent the ball into the goal. It came after a few moments earlier where Juventus were sluggish in attack.
Soon, in the 68th minute, Juventus doubled their lead. Francisco Conceicao set Kenan Yıldız free on the left wing, who made a precise pass to Jonathan David. The Canadian striker, who had repeatedly created danger, closed the cross and scored the second goal.
