Juventus striker Vlahovic scored an early goal just 32 seconds into the match, after a long ball from Danilo that the striker seized and fired a shot from between Villarreal’s defenders with his right foot into the net.

Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri made a first substitution at the start of the second half, with Alex Sandro leaving to pay Leonardo Bonucci instead, and the beginning of the second half almost resulted in a second goal for Juventus, after a cross from McKinni met by Morata with a shot that went over the goal in the 47th minute.

From several touches of the ball between the feet of Villarreal players in the 56th minute, the ball reached Lo Celso on the left side to pass a cross inside the area, met by Alberto Moreno with a shot that easily reached the hands of Chesney.

And in the 66th minute, Dani Parejo scored the equalizer for the yellow submarines, after a magical pass from Capoy, which led Parejo to put it with a one-touch shot in the net.

Juventus midfielder McKinney fell on the field in the 81st minute, with an ankle injury, so Allegri decided to replace Dennis Zakaria.

Vlahovic tried to score the second goal after receiving the ball on the edge of the penalty area to fire a powerful shot with his left foot, in which goalkeeper Roli starred and saved his goal from a second goal for Juventus, to catch the ball twice.
