Match Events
5' GOAL! Juventus 1-0 Young Boys (Dybala)
GOAL! 1-0 Juventus! Bonucci floats a long ball over the Young Boys defence where Dybala has found room. The Argentina striker follows the flight of the ball before delicately stroking a volleyed finish into the net. You will struggle to see a more controlled finish this season, it was brilliantly taken.
14' CHANCE! Bernardeschi's shot saved
SAVE! Bernardeschi receives the ball from Sandro and drills a low shot towards the bottom right-hand corner, which Von Ballmoos scoops away.
19' CHANCE! Dybala's shot saved
SAVE! Bernardeschi plays a ball into the area where Dybala is arriving but his shot is straight into the arms of Von Ballmoos.

33' GOAL! Juventus 2-0 Young Boys (Dybala)
GOAL! 2-0! Dybala gets his second! Matuidi drills a fierce effort from the edge of the box that Von Ballmoos can only divert into the path of Juventus' number ten, who tucks home his third goal of the season.
48' CLOSE! Dybala's shot off the post
OFF THE POST! Bernardeschi feeds a pass through to Dybala, who tries to slot a finish into the net but is denied a hat-trick by the frame of the goal.
69' GOAL! Juventus 3-0 Young Boys (Dybala)
GOAL! Hat-trick for Dybala! The forward is heavily involved in the build-up before Cuadrado's unselfish pass across the face of goal gives him a comfortable finish for his hat-trick.
78' Second Yellow Card! Mohamed Aly Camara sent off
RED CARD! Camara, booked only minutes beforehand, receives a second yellow card for a swing of the arm on Dybala. A very unwise decision.
Match Report
Paulo Dybala stepped up in the absence of the suspended Cristiano Ronaldo in the Champions League as his hat-trick helped Juventus coast to a 3-0 win over 10-man Young Boys.
With Ronaldo watching on at the Allianz Stadium as he served out a one-game ban following his red card against Valencia, Dybala helped the Serie A champions make it two wins from two in Group H.
His first was a wonderfully timed volley from Leonardo Bonucci long pass, the centre-back's inch-perfect delivery dropping over the head of Mohamed Ali Camara to allow his team-mate to steer the ball in with his left foot.
His second was more about attacking instincts than technical ability, the forward tapping home the rebound after Young Boys goalkeeper David Von Ballmoos failed to steer Blaise Matuidi's stinging drive from the edge of the penalty area away from danger.
Dybala could have recorded a first-half treble had he made better contact with a first-time effort from Federico Bernardeschi’s cut-back cross, while a right-footed finish when through on goal soon after the break was kept out by a post.
However, his third eventually arrived in the 69th minute when he stretched out to poke home under pressure into an unguarded net, converting Juan Cuadrado's square pass from the right.
As well as conceding three goals for a second successive outing in the competition, Young Boys had to play out the closing stages a man down after defender Camara picked up two yellow cards in the space of three minutes.
