00:00stage as the hosts at the Juventus Stadium take on Sporting Club de Portugal for a place in the
00:06competition's final four. It's two sides on a journey in hope of continental glory both having
00:13dropped out of the Champions League and now the Europa League becomes their desired crown and
00:19with both clubs outside of the top positions domestically the prize of success in this
00:24competition becomes all the more significant. This is realistically their only chance of
00:30qualification for Europe's top tier tournament for next season. It's the second Portugal versus
00:39Italy clash this week after Inter triumphed in Lisbon against Benfica 48 hours ago. Now
00:46their city rivals Sporting come to Turin for only the second time in their history
00:50following the group stage meeting five seasons ago.
00:58It's a wonderful arena for a huge occasion
01:04for Juventus it has been a turbulent season both on and off the pitch
01:10injuries to influential players a poor start points deduction an ongoing court case as well
01:50three times winners of the old UEFA Cup Juventus but without a European
01:55trophy to show for over a quarter of a century
02:01seven game unbeaten run came to an end at the weekend away to Lazio there are three changes
02:05to that starting eleven as two times Champions League winner Danilo returns to captain the side
02:10the other alterations come in the forward areas that will indicate the change of shape with the
02:15front three Federico Chiesa and Arkadius Milik coming in to partner Angel Di Maria in that
02:22three-pronged attack Philip Kostic was a Europa League winner with Eintracht Frankfurt last season
02:36the Sporting have to go much further back to the early 60s for their only
02:42European trophy we've seen Benfica and Porto take over and become the major forces in Portugal
02:51now they would love to add a European crown
03:00the officials are from Turkey
03:03Umut Miller the man with the whistles he greets Danilo and Sebastian Coates
03:11to South Americans skippering their sides
03:16Ruben Almirain also makes three changes from his team for the victory at the weekend against
03:21Cazapia to extend Sporting's unbeaten run to 11 matches but after conceding three goals
03:28and Jerry St-Juice returned to bolster the defense after a red card against Arsenal key
03:33midfielder Manuel Ugarte is suspended so his place goes to Japanese international Hidemasa Morita
03:43there's two of the front three and Chiesa and Milik
03:46Milik will look to spearhead Juventus' chances of making the semi-finals but
03:56this will not be easy at all against Sporting who will be looking to rely on the likes of Pedro
04:04Gonsalves who lit up the Europa League with his strike in the round of 16 away at Arsenal
04:11and it's going to be two fascinating legs 180 minutes possibly more of intense battle
04:21between Juventus and Sporting for a place in the UEFA Europa League semi-finals
04:35it's all the way back with Wojciech Szczesny
04:38plenty of experience in this Juventus side every single player in the starting 11 a fully fledged
04:48international that's it towards Cermiti the 18 year old striker for Sporting
04:59tasked with leading the line in the absence of Paulinho
05:02but Adam it's a wonderful place to play football a great atmosphere this evening what are you
05:11expecting over these two legs well I think it's going to be a real interesting battle between two
05:15very very good sides that maybe feel that they should be doing better in their own individual
05:19league and they maybe should have done slightly better in the Champions League but what we do
05:23have are two sides that probably see this competition now is the best route into the
05:26Champions League next season both going 3-4-3 so in terms of the tactical side they seem pretty
05:33similar but you certainly feel the experience of Juventus the home record that they have got
05:38against an inconsistent Sporting Lisbon side away from home however have played away from home well
05:43in the Europa League it's really important that they don't go away with a heavy defeat that they
05:48kind of stay in the game even if it's a one nil defeat they may have enough to turn around the
05:52home leg in that second leg but this is a real interesting tie on paper very very hard one to call
06:02the last away defeat in all competitions actually was the very first away game of 2023 away to
06:08Maritimo they've been extremely strong on the road sporting the one in
06:16the playoff round before the draw against Arsenal took that game to penalties before
06:25Nuno Santos converted that telling penalty to see them through to this game
06:32the winners of course will face the winners of Manchester United against Sevilla
06:38Danilo the the philosopher as they call them at Juventus coming back in to take the skipper's armband
06:55that's with Leonardo Bonucci still out he is on the bench
07:01trying to help that round the corner does come to Adrian Rabiot who was being pulled
07:16that'll certainly be a really interesting battle in that midfield area
07:22we've seen a different Rabiot this season haven't we 10 goals
07:25from midfield Aiton Seria double against Maccabi Haifa in the Champions League
07:30i think it's a game it's an area that i think we see more of in this season is finding goals
07:35saw a lot of him at PSG and it was important in the way that they played but he certainly
07:40felt the positions got into he could score more goals you know Juventus have seen that this season
07:45there's Locatelli no one Codrado
07:49Federico Chieso
07:55trying to pick out the pass to the on rushing Federico Chieso
08:02I haven't quite read it the way that Di Maria had intended
08:05but Di Maria really has been the man for this competition four goals in three games
08:11and he doesn't seem to be aging at all now 35 years of age
08:16but he seems to have come back from after the World Cup a different player
08:20I mean that individual performance against Nantes was something spectacular the hat-trick that he got
08:25the individual goal that he put past Albert Lafon was truly incredible
08:30he scored some really important goals as well at the turn of the year
08:35I think him and Chieso alongside Milik I think it's a
08:38it's a different front line with VajloviÄ now struggling for a start struggling for consistency
08:43but they've got two wide players they're going to be playing alongside Milik
08:47can offer the counter-attacking ball Di Maria can certainly come short Chieso can go in behind
08:52so it might be a better rotation a better balance within that final third for Juventus to
08:56travel sports in Lisbon
09:00it's top for the future of Dusan VlajeviÄ already
09:05quite settled with Juventus I'm sure he'd have plenty of suitors after
09:13spent so much money on him after his performances with Fiorentina
09:17this is now Milik opens up for Milik the man on loan from Marseille drives it well over the
09:25top though a decent overlapping run there from Codrado that opened up that little bit of space
09:30there for Milik and this is what we're talking about the counter-attacking play that Juventus
09:33will certainly possess Codrado was never going to get the ball there but that outside run just
09:40creates a bit of space there for Milik to take the shot on this has been one of the criticisms of
09:47Max Allegri's team that he's been seen as quite a defensive-minded coach that
09:53his side do just like to play on the counter-attack but there's an opportunity and fired
09:59over the top from Francisco Trincao who is coming off the back of a hat-trick himself
10:05that he scored at the weekend against Casabilla yeah brilliant performance really on the weekend
10:11certainly young talent we certainly know about his time at Wolves
10:14I say going back to Max Allegri I think you're right to mention that I think when people look
10:17at Vladovic's stats this season I think they look at a player that might be out of form but I think
10:21just sometimes the way that a side plays the creativity for a forward man isn't quite there
10:28I think Vladovic has certainly suffered because of that I don't think he's a bad player I think
10:32whoever goes on to sign him I think he's going to go and sign a very very good player but just
10:36sometimes the manager's style of play doesn't quite suit an individual and that seems to be
10:40what Vladovic is falling into
10:43Picked up by Jenson Juist
10:50from Ignacio
10:54Trincao
10:58Santosh inside very comfortable in possession sporting
11:03Coates
11:08Ignacio let's pick out for Trincao challenge though in the middle of the park
11:17and one back Rabiot
11:25chance for Sporting to try and do some damage with Marcus Edwards
11:34that's where it worked
11:38a loose one into the middle of the park and picked up Escaio now has it
11:45so he's just struggling to hold on to the ball of the mate
11:49present an opportunity for Juventus on the break
11:51Kudrado and sort of stretch there
11:59there's Di Maria
12:05Bremer to his fellow countryman Danilo the two Brazilians at the
12:12part of the defense alongside Federico Gatti
12:14Kudrado as Juventus now settle into a bit of their rhythm
12:27to the pick out to Chiesa and it will be a big night for Ricardo Escaio trying to track
12:33Federico Chiesa I think it's been a fairly decent start for both sides settling into the
12:36game fairly well playing with a decent purpose passing the ball well you can clearly see that
12:42Sporting needs to be able to be a side that can sit back and play on the counter-attack and try
12:46and make those interceptions in that midfield area and use those front three players of Trincao
12:51and especially Marcus Edwards to try and get those first balls forward to them
12:54to get on the half turn and get forward and get attacking that Juventus defense
13:03Kudrado for Rabiot
13:11Bremer Danilo stepping back against Locatelli
13:32Danilo who can step up into the midfield as we're
13:35seeing at the moment encouraging Gatti forward too
13:38he's now on his way
13:44Italian international
13:48June
13:58Amorim is certainly a sought-after head coach
14:05recent links with
14:08Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea maybe a step too far at this stage but you never know
14:15he was the fifth most expensive managerial transfer if you like when he left Braga it was in 2020
14:27Sporting certainly were confident in the quality that they were getting
14:32comes from Danilo and Kudrado sure that was out before he allowed himself to pick that up
14:40it could be a free kick
14:45yeah talking there about the compensation for managers the only
14:48four more expensive than him Nagelsmann, Potter, Andres Villas-Boas and Brendan Rodgers
15:01all out of jobs, well that's true and he was one higher in the placement of that table than Jose Mourinho
15:19it's Locatelli, Di Maria who certainly likes to float
15:25he's looking to float that one in behind for Chiesa who takes it down gets the shot away
15:32and Adan with an important save first sighting of goal in the game yeah really good play there
15:42the two players that you expect to be influential have linked up brilliantly there that's a hell of
15:47a ball there from Di Maria to find out Chiesa he thought maybe he could have squared that to
15:53Milik with a first time pass but goes for goal himself and Adan makes a really good save he has
15:58to parry away from Milik that's waiting for that little fumble to go and tap it in best chance of
16:04the game so far quality there the pass from Di Maria the take the shift and the shot from Chiesa
16:14but matched by the save of the magnificent Antonio Adan
16:18he's one of the real difference makers in that game against Arsenal it's a late challenge by
16:26Yusuf Chermiti
16:33he's picked up a knock in the process too
16:39good night for the 18 year old Bremer also felt the effects yeah big responsibility for him
16:45certainly a lot being spoken about him in the Portuguese press and the opportunity he's been
16:49given suffered a big injury last year he's been given the contract he's been given the time now
16:57to go and find himself his feet but this has certainly been the best chance of the game so far
17:06talk to those big injuries that Juventus have had to deal with this season and Federico Chiesa has
17:12been one of them this just his 20th appearance and Achille Di Maria has had time out Paul Pogba
17:18of course on his return he's only had two appearances but he is back on the bench
17:24for Max Allegri this evening it could be a huge boost
17:33so
17:47still on a two-year loan from Sassuolo
17:50a move that will be made permanent in the summer for around about 30 million euros
18:02um
18:24now Chesney had to be alert to that because Chermiti was giving him no time at all a bit
18:30of a risky pass about there from the center half back to Chesney in the goal
18:35well enough to where not to take any chances just clear his lines
18:50done by Trincao Santos will try and get there but Di Maria nipped in ahead of him
18:57he's Costich the Serbian
19:07Gatti up to Di Maria with a quarter of an hour played at the Juventus stadium in Turin
19:14Danilo two times champions league winner in his two seasons at Real Madrid
19:26I'm pretty sure that Max Allegri would be pretty pleased with the way that his side has started in this game
19:32kept early possession controlled the tempo of the game fairly well really limited sporting to
19:39not really much possession and much opportunity to show themselves within that counter-attacking
19:44play the best chance of the game so far but they're controlling the game very well just
19:48have to be patient to get the right players in the right positions Chesney now having a
19:52goal on the right hand side he'll get it back from Di Maria Milik's in the middle but it was
19:56too close to Adan who comes out to claim that's a hard ball there for Chiesa really to pick out Milik
20:05Chermiti couldn't hold on to it he's got a tough old task up against well immediately Bremer
20:14but it's one against three at times for the 18 year old
20:18I think he needs to try and feed that one in the air to Milik if he's going to try and find him
20:21Rabiot was on the edge of the 18 yard box for the cutback I think that would have been a harder ball to see
20:48so
21:08Santos
21:09now in from Edwards
21:21Chermiti trying to get turned it was really well timed by Danilo had to be
21:28yeah brilliant diagonal there from Santos
21:30particularly given away by Kostic but Chiesa got a touch on it and Juventus looked to break here
21:38with Rabiot Chiesa making up ground in the middle alongside Milik it comes to Chiesa and he just
21:44showed too much of it to Morita it was a brilliant first touch here from Rabiot on the halfway line
21:52I said was expecting a free kick there I think Chiesa gets a little bit of the ball
22:01certainly feel the momentum is with Juventus now at the moment
22:05as Marcus Edwards can really dazzle with his dribbling skills
22:13Edwards couldn't get away again from Danilo and now Di Maria comes back to help out the defence
22:21Gatti can pick up
22:30powerful run from the big defender looks for Milik but can only pick out Saint-Just
22:38so
22:49Pedro GonƧalves he plays a bit of a more withdrawn role at the moment with the Gatti
22:58suspended so he's had to drop back to join Morita but he's a hugely talented player he's made 30 goal
23:06contributions this season 18 goals 12 assists
23:17here he is GonƧalves
23:24headed away but only as far as Morita and it goes just wide of Chesney's goal
23:32the Japanese midfielder almost coming up with a big moment for sporting
23:36well if this is the target I think Chesney's beaten just tracks it wide of the post
23:44picked up the second ball really really well strikes out brilliantly
23:48unfortunately for him it just goes wide of the post but certainly
23:52supporting Lisbon's best chance of this game so far
23:55and could be a problem for GonƧalo Inacio who I think knew that Coates was caught upfield and
24:02that will be the first yellow card of the game for GonƧalo Inacio
24:10and no real complaints here
24:12and that will be the first yellow card of the game for GonƧalo Inacio
24:20and no real complaints here
24:25even though I begged and pleaded during my career the first challenge doesn't deserve
24:28a yellow card but that one just laid there on Di Maria
24:33always stretching for it never getting really near it so no surprise he's gone into the book
24:38two players at either ends of
24:41their careers Inacio has just made his first appearance for the Portuguese national team
24:48that came against Liechtenstein in the recent international break which they won
24:53four nil they played all 90 minutes
24:54but Chiesa had decided to drop short Milik wasn't interested in the chase
25:11oh
25:20couldn't make it stick Chiesa Milik Di Maria Milik's on the move again
25:27appeals for offside and now the flag it does go up
25:41I think he's onside there
25:44just at the top of your screen there was really pleading and hoping that
25:48Milik was going to be given offside and then they've got away with that one
25:59from a Dan but Locatelli has picked up everything in the middle of the park and
26:03Di Maria goes for something rather spectacular that will result in a throwing
26:33out
26:37it's Di Maria
26:44Trincao, Nuno Santos
26:50Inacio into Morita
26:55Iscaio, Pedro GonƧalves
26:58great ball for Nuno Santos
27:04wasn't met initially by Bremer they went to get their lines cleared but only as far as Trincao
27:14Nuno Santos this time Bremer makes no mistake
27:21that's the first time really down that left-hand side they got Sanchez into the game
27:25Guadalajara just being caught out of position there's one of those awkward ones that came
27:28into the box a bit bobbly quite hard to deal with there from Bremer just showing signs of
27:36encouragement sports in Lisbon I've had to be patient to wait for those chances
27:42just that final ball has to be slightly better then you certainly feel they've got a better
27:45opportunity towards Chiesa and he's got Seduca has got himself into all sorts of trouble
27:50Robbed by Chiesa, Rabiot has the drive it's blocked by Morita to get his teammate out of
27:59jail and well there'll be a free kick and a yellow card flashed the way of Adrian Rabiot
28:06this one was right in front of the referee
28:19with the heavy touch plays the boys to follow through afterwards
28:23just being caught there slipping have the opportunity to happen
28:35Morita there does everything right to get your hands behind your back to make sure
28:38that you don't get your arms in that awkward position to maybe give away a penalty
28:43the two yellow cards so far handed out to Goncalo Inacio and Adrian Rabiot I should
28:54note that those running the tightrope for the second leg
28:59facing a suspension should they be booked to Bremer Danilo and Ricardo Iscaio
29:05Iscaio
29:23goes Cermiti appeals for a free kick but
29:26Juventus have the ball back under control through Bremer
29:31Di Maria Iscaio will look to challenge for that
29:35Edwards is never going to out jump Danilo so he pulled out of the
29:39attempted challenge now Cermiti is in behind the flag will stay down for now
29:44I suspect it may be going up shortly but Juventus not taking any chances and it will in fact be a
29:50sporting throw-in with you there I mean he looks a little bit offside Cermiti there when the ball
29:55went over the top just sometimes when those delays offsides that are given by the linesman
30:02I haven't quite found him into the game so far the youngster offers a lot of energy offers a lot of
30:07options with his runs but he's haven't quite kept the ball well enough in Juventus's final third
30:12then I haven't really been able to get that opportunity to get forwards to him but big throw coming in now
30:22and it will be a corner to follow after Danilo knocks that out
30:26Yusuf Cermiti just there in your shot the it's just his 10th start for the club first in the Europa League
30:34scored a couple of goals in February against Riove and Porto
30:41a huge night for the 18 year old from the Azores
30:57for the first time really to test out this Juventus side from
31:01set play but they never got it past Locatelli at the front post
31:08Edwards worked some magic he was having his shirt pulled all the way by Filip Kostic
31:16a disappointing corner there from Mark Sedgwick originally I think he's been trying to look for
31:20those kind of fouls being given against him a few of the times that Juventus players have gone to
31:24ground to get the foul against him clearly see the shirt pull there from Kostic no complaints
31:46escapes the yellow card though the Serbian scored a double at this stage last season and
31:51in track Frankfurt's incredible victory away to Barcelona
32:01more defending for Juventus to do is sporting to gain the first advantage in this tie
32:14Edwards and Goncalves over it
32:18it's in from Goncalves what a great ball in and then struck by Kouartes
32:24this time it's Cecezni who has to come up with a big save
32:29Rabiot goes down no foul coming his way as Juventus look to scamper away on the counter
32:36oh what a balling that was and what a save it was from Cecezni
32:39Kouartes there did brilliantly to adjust his body so well to get the shot towards goal
32:44Juventus switch off there from that set plate
33:00Gatti up to Di Maria cut out by Sanchez
33:06Di Maria cut out by Sanchez for Morita
33:15Iscaio
33:21time for Morita to operate
33:25Edwards for Iscaio good pull back for Goncalves and again Cezni has to knock it out this time
33:34another corner well they had to be patient for these chances and opportunities and
33:39Goncalves there just couldn't quite get the ball out of his feet there I mean
33:42Liang was always working against him but he works the goalkeeper to any side of corner
33:50good spell this for sporting
33:53just in front of that band of supporters that have made the journey from Lisbon
33:59it's Edwards who delivers to the back post but no joy for
34:03Seduced
34:11Juventus not hanging about getting the ball straight back into play
34:18so
34:30knocks it out coming up in the English Premier League on Saturday it's Villa Park for Aston
34:38Villa versus Newcastle that's from 11.30 on BT Sport 1 and Ultimate and in the Vanarama
34:44National League it's Barnett against Wrexham also on Saturday from 12.15 on BT Sport 2
34:58Morita out to Edwards
35:05Goncalves Edwards again just went up a gear and tried to squeeze through the gap
35:12between two Juventus defenders but it's now Chiesa with Kostic motoring up the outside
35:20and the collision between the two players he and Seduced leads to a free kick to the
35:26defensive player and I don't think there's too many people they're going to get past
35:30Seduced in those situations people remember right in that first leg against Arsenal
35:36change of pace that he's shown it's exceptional
35:41it's good defending there from him just got his body in the way of the ball to win the foul
35:45it's really the first time that you'd seen Juventus beat that
35:50sporting Lisbon press you've got counters but this is a save that's kept the home side in the game
35:57it's a brilliant ball in there from the right hand side it's a good reaction save and it's
36:02it's a good reaction save and it's parried away really well from Szczesny
36:07it's not the usual sort of opportunity that you'd be wanting to fall to your
36:1132 year old centre back but he did it well
36:15yeah just thankfully just hits the target more than anything
36:19a bit of an awkward one for him to come to
36:23it's a bit like you remember in computer games you used to be down as centre defender striker
36:28yeah i did my best tried to find my place in any position in any team
36:35that's certainly been i'd say the away team's best spell now
36:37and this player is making a big influence on the game
36:42now Edwards looks to take on his man breezes past Kostic now can he pick out a teammate
36:48Nuno Santos and off the line by Bremer
36:52Sporting are taking this to Juventus that's a really good period now isn't it
37:00they've had to be patient but now they're creating chances and now they're testing Juventus
37:05Tanchos there just didn't quite get the connection that he would have wanted on that strike
37:10certainly got an eye for goal
37:22seduced to Isgaio
37:27Morita
37:36Ignacio and Cuartez
37:42tonight is in fact Sporting's 192nd UEFA Cup or Europa League game moving them ahead of Inter Milan
37:58more than any other club over 35 seasons
38:01they're almost in there through Pedro GonƧalves and Gatti has to knock it out for another corner
38:06and GonƧalves would have picked that one the halfway line we may have seen a replica goal
38:10that he scored away at Arsenal because he'd have taken the shot on
38:13really poor clearance there from Secesnik it's put his side into this predicament
38:31Verde Blancos supporters in that corner are in buoyant moods at the moment
38:38they're loving what they've seen from their side
38:43the opening 34 and a bit minutes it's in from Trincao
38:51one thing you won't get much change out of is
38:54balls like that into the box against this Juventus trio of defenders they try to play a short
39:01Trincao's picked himself up in that position a few times on the 18 yard box of the ball to be
39:05rolled back to him but I think Max Allegro will be pretty disappointed with his side's possession
39:10because at the moment they're giving away far too frequently when they win that turnover from
39:14Sporting Lisbon that's now allowed them the away side to I think control the game now in the first
39:19half have to happen to be impatient to try and find their chances opportunities after the home
39:23home team started fairly well
39:24PSG Benfica of course Sporting's city rivals and Monza
39:40surprise defeat later on in the Serie A season
39:46they're certainly being tested here
39:48I know that Massimiliano Allegri changed his setup for this game
39:55going to the front three that did actually impress late on away to Lazio
40:00obviously liked what he's seen as now he gets Federico Chiesa back as an option
40:07things haven't quite worked out for them just as yet they may need that extra man
40:10in the middle of the park the Di Maria does like to drop deep like they're
40:18seduced Morita
40:22with the Dutchman again Edwards
40:33Rita and it's Gaio
40:37they've really got Juventus pinned in
40:41so
40:57patience from Sporting
41:01now they might look to unleash Edwards, Goncalves
41:05it's just a bit short for this Gaio it will work out though the final touch coming off Kostic
41:11I think if Kostic was a little bit more committed to the challenge he may have won that one and not given away the corner
41:16good build-up play again though from Sporting Lisbon that's
41:20led them to this position this was the chance though from a really poor clearance
41:28quite frustrated Max Allegri from the way that his side started this game to now where they are in this
41:34first half
41:37Sporting would love some reward for the endeavors they put in in this first half
41:45it comes from Edwards Cermiti at the front post and
41:51it's cleared up to Di Maria but he can't keep the ball in play and a little bit of
41:55frustration starting to show in the Juventus side
42:03Allegri has had to deal already this week with a bust up with Leandro Paredes
42:10who is on the bench but it was fairly public in an open training session
42:16it's a bit of a breakdown between the two men as Cermiti gets there first and goes down
42:23Rabiot with the challenge, Morita spread out to Ignacio, he'll get it back on the edge of the area
42:34quite incredible how Juventus just can't get out, they just can't seem to get the ball can they
42:38keep getting away far too frequently and now Sporting are keeping the ball really well
42:42trying to create an open little chances for them good movement off the ball, here goes Sindhuus
42:50and it will go, a teamly wide from Riccardo Esgueo, Chiesni was never particularly worried about that one
43:03I think that was more of a cross in the box and maybe a shot towards
43:06Cieszyn's goal, it's just the penalty shout that I knew straight away wasn't going to be given
43:12decent tackle there from Rabiot
43:15to make sure that was timed perfectly and it was
43:22Amorim will certainly be
43:26happier of the two managers
43:33so
43:50Dan, just made sure that his touch was spot on but the clearance is not, Milik now picks up
43:58well for as good as Sporting have been for so much of this half, they almost
44:03played themselves into serious danger there but now perhaps there's some space for Edwards to work in
44:10Cermiti looks to return it to Edwards as Sporting go from one end to the other
44:14to win yet another corner, I'll say talking about control in the game then almost just giving it away
44:19here, Codrado on the right hand side of Milik there, it's seen at the bottom of your screen when he's in that pitcher
44:24just went for the wrong ball to try and find Rabiot
44:30big chance and opportunity there, if the right pass was played then
44:33I think Sporting would have been in a much more of a spot of bother
44:41well there's going to be some attention here I think for Wojciech Cieszyn
44:46he's not looking too good away, a hugely experienced Polish international
45:04and by the looks of things the suggestion there from Juan Codrado
45:08is that they will need to make a change, the obvious one would be that of Matija Perin
45:16who has had the recent starts in the cup but it's a sad sight for the former Arsenal man Cieszyn
45:32the real concern, there didn't seem to be
45:36you know a moment, an incident, a collision, anything like that
45:46possibly when Pedro Goncalves had his effort
45:59it may have been a collision with the post that Wojciech Cieszyn has been unable to recover from
46:07so Matija Perin who started the first two Champions League games in fact both defeats
46:13one here against Benfica
46:19and his recent starts in the cup
46:24will come on he's a very experienced goalkeeper himself played over 200 times for Genoa before
46:31making the move to Juventus but chances few and far between since he's been in Turin
46:38a two-time capped Italian international
46:45but certainly it is a major concern amongst the players, amongst the medical staff for Cieszyn
46:56we wish him all the best, yeah I mean he hopes certainly nothing too bad I mean
47:00I mean players do collide with posts but it does seem a bit of discomfort and
47:08so I hope it's not too bad
47:12he's become a very popular figure at Juventus
47:18but clearly a distressing
47:23problem for him
47:30never good to see
47:34Matija Perin will get his chance
47:54this might not be the first thing that you want straight away as
47:59to be facing a corner you think the
48:04opportunity here for Marcus Edwards to put this right on top of Matija Perin to
48:10just test how ready he is for this moment
48:15so
48:23Edwards to take Ciamiti it misses everyone
48:28until the six-yard box Juventus try to break again Trincao breaks it up that's been their
48:34issue there those balls in the first 10-15 minutes were working for Juventus this time
48:39they're not really counter-attacking too well because the first pass has
48:45been pretty poor after that turnover
48:57into Locatelli
49:01strong challenge coming in from Iscaio and now the chance to break
49:05GonƧalves desperate to get a shot away but how's that for timing on the challenge from Bremer
49:13Chiesa will go down and wins the free kick from Iscaio
49:23brilliant defending there
49:28it's a tiny touch of the ball doesn't he but follow through afterwards
49:31follow through afterwards
49:34just a tiny touch there but i think to be seen that i mean a difficult one to
49:38be given blaming there with a brilliant brilliant challenge timed it perfectly watching the ball
49:47so four minutes to be added at the end of this first half
49:50Locatelli, Rabiot, Di Maria and again a loose pass lets Juventus down
50:05Edwards low center of gravity looks to get turned quickly and drive at defenders
50:13Rabiot and well it's really unlike them those are experienced
50:20internationals of the highest quality that's been their issue time and time again they win
50:26that ball back when Porto sorry Sporting Lisbon are just trying to be positive every single time
50:33Juventus are giving away the ball far too frequently
50:37and yet another corner these are really racking up for sporting they'd like to test Juventus a
50:44better when they do come in seduced just perhaps over stretching here
50:55it's never a good look no it's not
51:01they won't in fact have the corner in any case
51:05there's a chance to tell you about a big event coming on Saturday
51:09Joe Joyce fight night live against July Zhang
51:17big boxing event in Serie A it's also Juventus' turn Sassuolo
51:25the hosts for Juventus Sunday at 5pm on DT Sport 3 and with Wojciech Szczesny having his game
51:34being brought to a premature end it looks like the same is going to happen to Jerison Juist
51:43he's had a couple of muscular injuries this season so maybe just a reoccurrence of that
51:49Ken looks in a lot of distress and she mentioned his body language after that bit of play down
51:55that right hand side hole in the left hamstring doesn't seem to be able to carry on even though
52:00halftime is going to be coming and maybe the physio could look at him at halftime it just
52:03seems it's going to be too much for him to carry on playing judging by his reaction
52:10Ruben Amorim was very quickly gesturing to the subs and to get stripped and as
52:18warm as they possibly can for the final few minutes of this second half
52:23and he's known for that incredible pace Jerison Juist but just overdoing it there
52:33and it will lead to the end of his game
52:43he's been ever-present in the last few games
52:46he's been ever-present in the competition up until this and
52:59now he's really frustrated having to come off here was replaced by Ousmane Diomande
53:08an Ivorian 19-year-old who moved in January from Mitchelland
53:21team that's sporting
53:25and knocked out in the playoff round played all 120 minutes in the game
53:32in London against Arsenal yeah no surprise that change to be made the Monday coming in
53:36what they probably lose is a bit of pace but what they gain is
53:39a more natural center half on the right side of the three
53:45and they will lose that little bit of pace with some juice out the side now
53:48something that Juventus will certainly have to capitalize on and do better with
53:56it's a foul this time by Edwards on Danilo we are over the allotted time but
54:01that's no real surprise with the second injury coming for Jerison Juist
54:07well now well a rare opportunity perhaps for Juventus to throw this in the middle and it's
54:13knocked over the top by Danilo that fell to the captain for a wonderful delivery from Angel Di
54:19Maria but over the top it goes he's probably just shading offside anyway but I think he'd
54:26be disappointed that he hasn't hit the target with the quality and pace of the cross that came
54:29in from that left-hand side the flag does go up in any case
54:47goes Morita Danilo wins it Milik no free kick coming his way Gonsalves
54:56loses out to Locatelli now Di Maria Diamonde his first intervention but that brings about the end
55:05of the first half no goals in Turin but it's been an impressive 45 minutes from the visitors
55:15in particular sporting of dominated long periods of the 45 minutes
55:23minutes before he had to go off brought out some fine stops from Wojciech Szczesny
55:30the other end Dan was also kept busy early on from Federico Chiesa but at the break
55:38in Turin it is Juventus nil
