Match Report
Aaron Ramsey marked his full debut with a goal and Cristiano Ronaldo scored a penalty as Juventus came from behind to beat Hellas Verona 2-1 in Saturday's Serie A clash at the Allianz Stadium.
The Italian champions handed first starts of the season to four players and trailed 1-0 to a fine Miguel Veloso strike before Ramsey got off the mark for his new club
Ronaldo scored the winner from the penalty spot early in the second half as Juve, who were held by Fiorentina last weekend and squandered a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 with Atletico Madrid in midweek, returned to winning ways in Turin against opponents who finished with 10 men due to Marash Kumbulla's injury-time dismissal.
Match Events
14' CHANCE! Ronaldo's shot over the bar
Ronaldo announces his presence in the game for the first time, by drifting inside from the left before firing a fierce shot that Kumbulla does well to block.
20' Penalty Missed! (Di Carmine)
Di Carmine steps up and slams the spot-kick against the post, before Veloso's follow up is lashed against the bar!
20' GOAL! Juventus 0-1 Verona (Veloso)
They didn't let the penalty disappointment affect them! Verona keep the ball in play after striking the woodwork twice, and after Faraoni's cross is cleared, Veloso fires an unstoppable half volley into the top left corner from 25 yards! A breathless few minutes!
31' GOAL! Juventus 1-1 Verona (Ramsey)
Verona give up their lead in the most unfortunate manner! After a slow period of build-up play, Ramsey decided to shoot from 25 yards and his tame effort is deflected beyond Silvestri and into the far corner!
49' Penalty Goal! Juventus 2-1 Verona (Ronaldo)
Ronaldo steps up - as confidently as ever - and dispatches the spot-kick into the roof of the net, with Silvestri diving in the wrong direction.
63' Excellent save from Buffon!
Verona are just beginning to grow into this game again. Firstly, Zaccagni hit a stinging drive from 30 yards that Buffon stretched to parry away, before Veloso's deep cross only narrowly missed Di Carmine at the back post. Juventus need to tighten things up slightly.
