Match Events

16' CHANCE! Ronaldo's shot wide out

Ronaldo takes aim from around 25 yards and strikes it well, but De Gea watches it fly past the post.

35' OFF THE POST! Khedira almost scores

OFF THE POST! Best chance of the game so far falls to Juventus after a fine passing move. Ronaldo drags the ball across the face of goal and Khedira has space in the middle but does not connect with his shot properly, seeing it bounce off the frame of the goal.

49' CHANCE! Martial's shot wide out

Martial cuts inside onto his right foot and tries to curl a finish into the far corner beyond the reach of Szczesny but his attempt bounces wide of the mark.

50' OFF THE BAR! Dybala almost scores

OFF THE BAR! United's defence stands off Dybala and he shifts onto his left foot before shaping up to shoot just inside the area, curling a fantastic effort that leaves De Gea helpless but it smashes off the crossbar.

65'GOAL! Juventus 1-0 Man Utd (Cristiano Ronaldo)

GOOOAL! 1-0 Juventus! Bonucci plays a superb ball from the halfway line over the top of the United defence to Ronaldo, who has burst into space, and he smashes home a first-time effort to net his first Champions League goal since his switch from Real Madrid.

86'GOAL! Juventus 1-1 Man Utd (Mata)

GOOOOAL! 1-1! Mata steps up to dispatch the free-kick superbly as he lifts the ball over the ball and beyond the reach of Szczesny. A superbly struck attempt and one that could prove to be priceless in United's Champions League campaign.

89'OWN GOAL! Juventus 1-2 Man Utd (Alex Sandro)

GOOOOOOOOAL! 2-1 Manchester United! Unbelievable! Young takes a free-kick near the touchline and curls in a dangerous cross that goes all the way through. Szczesny does not deal with it properly and pushes it onto Bonucci, then bouncing off Alex Sandro and into the net.

Match Report

Manchester United scored twice in the last four minutes to come from behind and secure a 2-1 away Champions League win over Juventus, cancelling out Cristiano Ronaldo's stunning opener.

Juve appeared to be sailing through to the knockout phase as Group H winners after Ronaldo's glorious strike, but substitute Juan Mata drew the visitors level and an Alex Sandro own goal completed a remarkable finish.

United appeared to have a little more about them than they did when taught a footballing lesson by Juve at Old Trafford two weeks ago, though the hosts still controlled the first half and almost scored when Sami Khedira hit the post.

After Paulo Dybala hit the bar, there was to be no denying Ronaldo's sumptuous effort 25 minutes from the end, but Mata struck with a fine free-kick and then Alex Sandro bundled into his own net at the death, meaning Juve have not yet secured qualification.
