Teams at rest at the “Red Bull Arena” with Leipzig leading 1-0 over Juventus at the end of the first half. The match started on the uphill side for Thiago Motta with Bremer who, following a clash with Openda, placed his left foot badly on the ground with his knee twisting unnaturally. The defender, after being helped, gets up but is still forced to leave the pitch by the masseurs. Four minutes later Nico Gonzalez also collapsed due to a muscle problem with the Juventus coach forced to make two changes: Gatti and Conceiçao on. The Bianconeri occupy the field well, risking little but without creating any major dangers at the red and white goal.
Sesko unlocks it
Around the half hour mark, Koopmeiners tries from distance but the ball ends up high over the crossbar. Two minutes later Yildiz serves as a pick-up who shoots with first intention and finds a slight deflection from Vlahovic but Gulacsi is not surprised. On the reversal in front, Openda sprints to the left and serves the cut to Sesko who enters the area and surpasses Di Gregorio with a conclusion that hits the crossbar and goes into the net. In injury time, seven minutes long, Fagioli tries but the midfielder misses the target.
