Juventus Vs PSV: Old Lady Grab Win In Turin

Juventus was getting frustrated by PSV Eindhoven라이브 바카라 gritty defending when Weston McKennie broke the deadlock in style in their Champions League playoff on Tuesday. The United States midfielder hit a blistering shot into the top right corner from just inside the penalty area in the 34 minutes, following a scramble. It sent Juventus on the way to a hard-fought 2-1 win over the resilient Dutch side, with substitute Samuel Mbangula grabbing the winner in the 82nd for his first Champions League goal.
