Transcript
00:00Massively important and full of Riviera pressure.
00:12Continues to fill the large boots of Dushan Blavich.
00:17In last season's win, much has been made locally about his duel with Bremer.
00:22And he becomes only the second player from the USA to make 40 appearances in the UEFA Champions League.
00:32Ferocious pace early on and Derech leads the counter for Sudakov.
00:40Sudakov has a go and held in the end by Di Gregorio.
00:48Useful hit that by Sudakov.
00:52Spreads the play, allows Kenan Yildiz to run into space.
00:56He trips over his teammate.
00:59And he regains his balance supremely well and keeps going.
01:05And very nearly opens the scoring by Cambiazzo's intervention.
01:13How good was that?
01:18Clawed away in the end by Trubin.
01:22Oh, good spin from Manuel Locatelli.
01:31And here's Kenan Yildiz.
01:33He loves doing this.
01:35He runs, he cuts inside, he fires just wide.
01:39The spark provided by Kenan Yildiz very nearly ignites Juve here.
01:47Juve trying to pass their way out of trouble.
02:02They made a real mess of that.
02:04Excellent save.
02:05And then, wonderful challenge by Lloyd Kelly.
02:08They overplayed it here.
02:12First Di Gregorio and then Kelly, though.
02:19Pavlidis stretching desperately.
02:21Great challenge.
02:30In another thriller.
02:31Both in September.
02:34He's forward.
02:35Bremer's there as well.
02:36It's very dangerous.
02:37It's a miscue, but it's touched on.
02:38And it's dangerous.
02:39And it's headed over.
02:40It was certainly unorthodox and unintentional.
02:48Still goes down as an opportunity.
02:52Difficult to control the bouncing ball.
02:55He's got to go far corner, really.
03:02There's the half-time whistle from our Dutch referee.
03:05Pavlidis begins striding forward with purpose.
03:19And now, Concei Sao.
03:21Chance to fizz it across for McKennie.
03:28Concei Sao for Kalulu.
03:31McKennie with perfect timing, but too close to the goalkeeper.
03:40Here's Concei Sao.
03:44Kefren Thuram.
03:47Emerges with it and keeps going.
03:53And scores a massive goal for Juve.
03:58His first in the Champions League.
04:08And what a moment for Kefren.
04:17He would not be denied.
04:22Juve short on inspiration.
04:25Finally, they find it.
04:41Composure.
04:46Thuram for Locatelli.
04:48Lovely, intricate build-up play.
04:52McKennie emerges with it.
04:53McKennie again!
04:57In this competition,
05:00he is Juve's superstar.
05:03Three games in a row.
05:07McKennie comes up trumps for Juve.
05:10And now, there is clear daylight.
05:13No problem with that.
05:30Jonathan Devin with the touch.
05:31Then the one-two.
05:33And McKennie held his nerve.
05:36And on the ninth.
05:46Floated into Ausner's off the post.
05:51Here's the header.
05:58Millimetres away.
05:59He knows all about the margins.
06:06Pablidis.
06:08Well, Barrera went down there.
06:11He felt he was caught.
06:12Now, is he making too much of it?
06:14Or was there contact?
06:16Because if there was, it was inside the area.
06:19Now the ball goes out of play.
06:21Now there's a conversation.
06:22This could yet be very...
06:27There's the touch.
06:29There's the kick.
06:31From this angle.
06:32The angle he's seeing.
06:33It's clear as day, isn't it?
06:41Here it comes.
06:43The Benfica lifeline is here.
06:47Penalty on review.
06:49Conceded by Bremer.
06:52What a chance for Mourinho's side to set up the grandstand finish.
07:05Vangelis Pavlidis.
07:10Amidst whistles and boos will step up.
07:17Can he hold his nerve to give them hope here?
07:22Pavlidis slips.
07:32Something about the Turin turf.
07:36And Vangelis Pavlidis lost his footing and with that, surely go Benfica's chance.
07:46Auznes to take the corner.
07:50Otamendi got up and it's headed and held.
07:56No power.
07:57Similar to the Mureti chance this.
08:01See he's desperately trying to generate power.
08:03Juve's night.
08:04A nervous evening but settled by Kefren Turem.
08:14And he's here.
08:14I love it.
08:15What?
08:17You went by Causey Turem.
08:20You went by, won't you?
08:25omenclature.
08:26Man.
