Final result: Leipzig-Juventus 2-3
Gulacsi 6 – The action that leads to the advantage starts from his rejection on Fagioli. He is also ready on a few other occasions, having no major responsibility for the 3 goals conceded.
Geertruida 6 – As the match progresses, he moves up the right with more and more consistency, putting some inviting balls in the middle. From 87′ Poulsen sv.
Lukeba 5.5 – Great substance on his part in the first half, but also taking a risk with a contact on Vlahovic. In the final, he fails to avoid Conceicao’s goal.
Orban 5 – After an orderly first part of the match, he takes charge in a negative position by sleeping on the ball slammed into the goal at the start of the second half by Vlahovic which kickstarts Juve’s comeback.
Raum 5.5 – On his side he guaranteed push until the last second of injury time, but proved to be revisable in defending against Conceicao at 2-3.
Baumgartner 6 – When it comes to fighting in midfield, he doesn’t hold back. On the right, he often leaves the spotlight to Geertruida. From 46′ Henrichs 5.5 – He enters the field by placing himself in the central area, with Haidara moved to the right. Not a great recovery from him.
Seiwald 6 – A mastiff of the midfield, who fights for every ball. He alternates a forward presence with moments in which he gets closer to his area to help when not in possession. From 87′ Vermeeren sv.
Haidara 6 – Like his midfield partner, he is useful in both phases to turn the action from defensive to offensive. After the interval, he sacrifices himself on the right. From 75′ Nusa 6 – Good entry, with an opportunity in the final part of the match that plays.
Simons 6.5 – It starts from the left and then centralizes, but does not illuminate – at least at the start – the German maneuver as its qualities dictate. Among the best in the second part of the match.
Openda 7 – Always on the move, he keeps the Juventus defense in constant apprehension. He plays the finisher in the 1-0 lead, taking a woodball in the second half and causing Di Gregorio to get a red card. From the 90th minute André Silva saves.
Sesko 7.5 – His first half certifies his status as a great striker. After 30 rather anonymous minutes, he made great use of an assist from Openda by beating Di Gregorio on the way out. Then he was glacial from the spot, but his brace wasn’t enough.
Marco Rose 5.5 – Despite the two injuries suffered by Juventus, the numerical superiority and the advantage found with Sesko’s penalty, they miss a great opportunity for a big shot in Europe.
