"Mikautadze opened the scoring after just 18 minutes, slotting past Mattia Perin following a precise pass from Nicolas Pepe, while Alfonso Pedraza hit the woodwork for the hosts soon after as they looked to double their lead. Kenan Yildiz and Jonathan David both threatened to equalise for Juventus before the Serie A side produced a swift turnaround in the first 15 minutes of the second half."
"Federico Gatti levelled the scoreline with an incredible overhead kick after Lloyd Kelly flicked the ball on from a throw-in, while half-time substitute Francisco Conceicao pounced on a poor pass from Dani Parejo before beating Arnau Tenas between the posts. David had the chance to seal all three points for Igor Tudor's side, but his lobbed effort struck the woodwork, and he was made to rue his miss when Veiga rose highest from Ilias Akhomach's corner to rescue a point for Villarreal."
