Juventus score late winner to edge Bodo/Glimt

UEFA Champions League

Bodø / Glimt 2 - 3 Juventus FT

Jonathan David struck in stoppage time as Juventus edged past Bodo/Glimt to finally secure their first win in this season's Champions League.

The hosts had stunned the two-time European champions when they took the lead midway through the first half - Ole Didrik Blomberg driving in after a corner was nodded on to him.

It was a well-deserved lead for the Norwegians, who had seen more of the ball in the first half.

But Juventus came out stronger after the break and equalised soon after the restart when Lois Openda pounced on a loose ball to turn and fire home.

Juventus continued to push forward and had a goal ruled out by the video assistant referee for offside, before taking the lead when Weston McKennie headed home.

Teun Koopmeiners was denied by a superb save as Juventus pushed for more but instead Bodo/Glimt thought they had earned a point when Sondre Brunstad Fet converted a penalty with three minutes to go.

But there was more drama to come as David tapped home in the 91st minute, after Kenan Yildiz's shot had been saved.

The win means Juventus have six points and, before Wednesday's matches, are just three points off the top eight - the places that qualify automatically for the knockouts.

Winless Bodo/Glimt, meanwhile, are 31st in the 36-team league on two points.
