Champions League round-up: Juventus leave it late while Mourinho's Benfica get first win
"Juventus left it late to pick up their first victory of this year's Champions league as Jonathan David scored a stoppage time winner to down Bodo/Glimt 3-2 in Norway. At Bodo's Aspmyra Stadion, located just above the Arctic Circle, the Old Lady appeared to still be thawing when Ole Blomberg stole in to gave the hosts a first-half lead on 27 minutes. Lois Openda fired the Serie A side level shortly after the restart before they had a goal ruled out for offside by VAR."
"Weston McKennie then headed Luciano Spalletti's men in front on the hour mark, only for Sondre Fet to convert an 87th-minute penalty to seemingly rescue a point. David, however, was to have the last laugh, netting in the 91st minute after Kenan Yildiz's shot had been parried. Despite their slow start in this season's competition, the result moves Juventus to within three points of the top eight - the places that qualify automatically for the knockouts."
Jonathan David scored a 91st-minute winner as Juventus came from behind to beat Bodo/Glimt 3-2 at Aspmyra Stadion. Ole Blomberg put the hosts ahead on 27 minutes, Lois Openda equalised early in the second half, and Weston McKennie headed Juventus in front on the hour. Sondre Fet converted an 87th-minute penalty to level before David finished after Kenan Yildiz's shot was parried. The result moves Juventus within three points of the top eight. Benfica beat Ajax 2-0 with Samuel Dahl's early strike and Leandro Barreiro's 90th-minute finish. Ajax have lost all five group matches and remain without a point. There were also wins for Borussia Dortmund and Napoli.
