Manchester United's "unworthy" win over the old lady


Manchester United snatched an extraordinary 2-1 win over Juventus in the Champions League with a free kick from Juan Matte to add Alex Sandro's backside to revive the winner's hopes of a 16.
Cristiano Ronaldo appeared to have turned the club into a world star when he scored a first-half header with a shot in the 65th minute after Juventus took the lead twice.

Jose Mourinho looked completely without offense, but the Portuguese coach pushed Matta, Marwan Villaini and Marcus Rushford to the end of the game to lead an unexpected return to the result and regain the atmosphere of the epic victory 3-2 against the same rival in Turin in the semi-finals of the 1999 version after a late United by two goals .

The sudden awakening between Juventus and securing a place in the Round of 16 has turned the Group Eight upside down.

Juventus remain in the lead with nine points but United are second with seven points, two ahead of third-placed Valencia.

Young Boys are on the table and are out of competition.

It was United's first visit to the new Juventus stadium and recalled memories of their encounters at the end of the last century.

Juventus's dominant performance two weeks ago at Old Trafford seemed to show the difference between the strength of the two teams, which are also reflected in local results. Juventus are six points clear of the nearest league, while United are seventh in England.

Juventus began strongly and continued to search for the goal of progress and almost achieved it when Sami Khadira ball after a cross from Ronaldo, but hit the post.

United goalkeeper David De Chaya took another shot from Khadira and then a chance from Juan Cuadrado.

Paolo Debala fired a shot from the crossbar in the second half and Ronaldo finally managed to score with a shot right after a superb pass from Leonardo Bonocci.

This time the Portuguese celebrated his goal against his former club.

Cuadrado missed an opportunity to boost Juve's progress, which seemed unlikely to be at risk from United.

All that changed when Mata made a superb free kick in the 86th minute to score a draw and then sent a free-kick free kick that caused chaos in the area for Sandro to score after Villeneuve's intervention.

United became the first English team to beat Juventus in their home in 15 years, the last to do so under Ryan Giggs when they won 3-0 at Dili Albie in 2003.
