12' CHANCE! Ronaldo's shot blocked
CHANCE! Juve with the first opportunity of the game and it falls to Ronaldo. It was a lovely move forward by the visitors, stretching the Young Boys defence and Ronaldo is played through on goal, with just the keeper to beat.
Ronaldo skips around the goalkeeper, but he goes slightly too wide and has to fire an effort from a tight angle, Camara manages to block on the goal line.
15' Ronaldo's shot inches wide out
CHANCE! Ronaldo with another great opportunity to put Juventus into the lead! However, the striker drags his low effort just wide of the far post after turning and sprinting past his marker in the box, looking to fire the ball into the bottom corner.
30' Penalty Goal! Young Boys 1-0 Juventus (Hoarau)
YOUNG BOYS PENALTY! What a chance for the hosts to take the lead! Alex Sandro has just come onto the pitch, but he's already involved in the action, dragging Ngamaleu down to the ground as he looked to break free in the penalty area.
GOOOAAALLL! Young Boys lead 1-0 after Hoarau converts from the penalty spot. However, Szczesny was so close to saving that! The Juve keeper gets a hand to the ball and manages to push it onto the post, but it hits the inside of the post and trickles over the line.
46' Hoarau almost gifts Juventus a goal
OFF THE BAR! Juventus almost have their equaliser as Hoarau gets his clearance all wrong as a free-kick comes into the box, he fires the ball past his own goalkeeper and onto the crossbar. It then bounces around the penalty area before Young Boys manage to clear the danger.
68' GOAL! Young Boys 2-0 Juventus (Hoarau)
GOOOAAALLL! Young Boys double their lead, it's 2-0! Hoarau once again the man with the goal for the Swiss side.
It was a lovely ball into the path of Hoarau by Ngamaleu and as the Juve defenders backed off he spotted an opportunity and went for goal from the edge of the box, firing the ball into the bottom corner.
80' GOAL! Young Boys 2-1 Juventus (Dybala)
GOOOAAALLL! Juventus pull one back, it's 2-1! What a strike by Dybala! The substitute produces a superb volley straight into the bottom corner, giving Wolfli no chance of saving that. Can the visitors get another and turn this game around?
Match Report
Guillaume Hoarau scored a double as Juventus slipped to a shock 2-1 defeat at Young Boys in their final Champions League Group H fixture, although the Serie A leaders still topped the pool.
Having already qualified for the last 16, Massimiliano Allegri's side went into Wednesday's encounter needing a victory to guarantee first place in the group, but they were dealt a blow when Hoarau opened the scoring from the penalty spot with his 100th Young Boys goal.
Hoarau proved a thorn in Juve's side again in the 68th minute, with his sublime goal ensuring that Paulo Dybala's exceptional effort was a mere consolation, although Cristiano Ronaldo hit the post before the visitors' scorer had another brilliant strike disallowed.
Fortunately for Juve, their defeat did not cost them the leadership of Group H, as Manchester United slumped to a 2-1 loss at Valencia.

Juventus fans must wake up to this following reality: buying CR7 doesn’t automatically wins them the UCL . Allegri is not good enough to win them the UCL, he may win them the league but not the UCL . They need a great coach if they are serious about winning the UCL. They always play one man down in every games, why ? Because Mandzukic is absolutely useless, why the hell does Allegri always have to start and play him ? He’s useless, he hardly scores he doesn’t have any skills going forward his passes are awful and he absolutely outta must games . Tonight, we must say The truth , CR7 was the reason we lost the games . He lost so many chances and if he had left himself outta that Dybala beautiful goal Juventus wouldn’t have lost . On Monday Juventus will know their opponent in the round of 16 . Juventus needs a new coach. Juventus needs a top 9 , someone that can wake CR7 up and give him competition up front because he currently doesn’t have one . Messi use to push him and now Juventus needs someone inside the team to do that job . Because Mandzukic can never do that job because they’re not in the same class . Mandzukic is not helping CR7 up front he doesn’t have skills nor passes. Juventus got a long way to go.

Juventus has always had the problem give the balls that go in the box.The crosses are always terrible from juventus,ball never reaches its own player.Defensive mentality is good,but you should have a goal to defend for. Ronaldo was wasteful tonight missing way too many chances.Since joining juventus I've not seen Ronaldo once dominate in air,he has stopped jumping,i don't know why,I think he himself has no confidence in the crosses that come in.Home Allegri trains his players well on how to put good balls inside the box else you shall just keep dreaming of champions league.Yes juventus has bought Ronaldo but they still have not figured out on how to use him.

Barca played with their B team and they didn’t lost against Big team. Real Madrid, Roma,Juve, and man united played with their B team and lost with small team. The difference 🔥🔥💪

I think there should be video assistant in champions league also... becoze tonight the loss of juve is just of wrong decisions by refree... the penalty which is given is not a penalty.. and last goal by dybala is proper goal .. Ronaldo just jump it he don't have any touch... just pissed off with refree decisions .

What a perfect play from young boys and Juventus lose because its football..Dybala is a class with CR7 providing silence assist..CR7 suffer from conscious to attempt Dybala equaliser..Juventus need to be strong in their attacking mind and need to dominate the field even when playing Big team.. Forza juventus

Juventus midfield lacks more creativity, so I think Allegro need to get a more attacking midfielder other than Pjanic... Ronaldo was kept quiet throughout the game he also missed some big chance. I think Max needs to find a way for Dybala and Ronaldo to work together

Congratulations YB, well done. But, thank god Dybala didn't come on sooner. Also interesting, in YB's first Champions League season they played against Juve, Man Utd and Valencia, while finishing off their campaign with a somewhat meaningless but prestigious 2-1 win at home over Juve. In Basel's first Champions League season, Basel played Juve, Man Utd and Valencia and finished off their campaign with a somewhat meaningless but prestigious 2-1 win at home over Juve. To add to all of this, both lost away to Juve heavily (0-4 and 0-3), both conceded three goals at home against Man Utd (1-3 and 0-3), and both got a draw and a loss against Valencia (2-2 / 2-6 and 1-1 / 1-3).

There are bad and good days... today is just not Juve's day or CR7 for those who expect too much from him... it will come a day when Juve will lift that trophy. Losing today is one of those bad days... not everyone is a winner.. dont expect CR7 to win every game cos only a fool would do that. When CR7 did not score you blame him, when he scores you curse him... what does it matter... just enjoy watching him play cos one fact we all know is that hes a legend that works hard to be one beside Messi. Juve you lost but it still a long way to go... Champions are shaped by the challenges they faced and losing is just one of those ... ITS ONLY JUST A BEGINNING!

all Italian clubs are useless especially juventus how can you lose this and you call yourself favorite to win they are not reaching anywhere Ronaldo shouldn't have gone to juventus they are a very weak team they are going to spoil his career I promise you, do you think juv can beat Real Madrid they can never beat real madrid bcos they are very weak team although this is football but there are some teams that are not supposed to beat you is luck they always use to win matches today u see no luck and they have lost for me am only concern about Ronaldo because he is very good but he lacks support mark it somewhere at the end of this season Messi will score over 50goals but Ronaldo will not even reach 30goals he is going to flop I bet you

Both Ronaldo and Real Madrid needed each other..... The separation isn't good for both parties, though it will favor Ronaldo more... But he will also having issues with his new team

Ronaldo is cursed by the Real Madrid in Champions League. Just kidding though, it was such a bad luck for Juve. 3 of the shots hit a pole and Dybalas last screamer was disallowed because Ronaldo was off. Allegri should have brought dybala in the first minute of second half as forwards are having trouble in finishing as he controls a game, makes a play, connects midfield to forward. Anyway, Juve made through to RO16. Hope to see better results in upcoming matches. 💜💜

ronaldo shows his actual class today....i remeber when nani disallowed his wonderfup chip shot goal against spain...nd now the same he did today for dybala... he is too selfish to make records of his own nd score more goals....missing to many chances....nd people call him GOAT....he might be a very good goalscorer with an extraordinary physique which makes him a complete player infront of goal...but he never can be a complate footballer with playmaking nd intelligence ability...he only wants to score goals nd set records md then call himself the best player of all time

5 chances created (most by any player) 4 dribbles and 1 assist provided but he wasn't great because he didn't score that's how you judge him!! right???

Real lost and Roma lost = Real won the group Juve lost and United lost = Juve win the group Dybala should have been the first player to come in the second half and the final result could be a lot different, that guy scored a hat trick against them and a goal tonight on his first attempt, what a shame that the second goal was cancelled...

Juventus played well but Young boys got the better of them. Dybala is simply an amazing player,perhaps almost as good as Ronaldo. he scored a hat trick the last time and almost scored a brace today. coming in as a substitution, this man is the difference in most Juventus matches. He's quick, He's mobile. I applaud his genius. Hoarau is the man of the match. this was a well deserved win.

cr7 must have fuckeddd your mom 😂😂😂
I wonder why All football haven’t deleted all this nasty comments. I have no hard feelings towards Ronaldo, just that he doesn’t play and score well as he used to before, take a look at the chances he missed yesterday.... I said he is fading, because at 33 years of age your performance begins to regress.. have I justified my points enough???

ALLEGRI IS A BAD COACH ? ARE YOU HIGH ? MAN TOOK THIS SIDE TO 2 FINALS IN THE LAST 4 SEASONS AND HAS ELIMINATED REAL MADRID AND BARCELONA FROM UCL IN THE PAST. HE WON 7 LEAGUE TITLES IN A ROW. HE WON COPA NATIONALS. HE NEARLY ELIMINATED REAL MADRID LAST SEASON. YOU'RE DELUSIONAL TO SAY HE'S A BAD COACH.
