Match winner Touré! VfB Stuttgart defies VAR bad luck in Turin

On matchday 3 of the UEFA Champions League, VfB Stuttgart overcomes two bad luck and wins 1-0 at Juventus Turin. The Swabians celebrate their first premier class victory this season.

After a quiet start, the guests from Baden-Württemberg are the first team to become dangerous. Demirovic (29th) is left alone in the Turin penalty area, dribbles past Juve goalie Perin and shoots the ball not into the net, but onto the aluminum.

But the Hoeneß team remains the more active team, and Undav becomes dangerous in the 41st minute. The Stuttgart attacker heads the ball onto the underside of the crossbar, Perin saves the 0-0 for the “old lady”.

Touré provides redemption

After the break, the video referee comes into action. Undav (48th) scored in the first moment to make it 1-0, but because the VAR detected a handball on the goal scorer, the goal was withdrawn. In the middle phase of the game, Demirovic (61st) and Millot (62nd) also played for the team from the German Bundesliga that dominated the game, but were unable to make it 1-0. Yildiz (67th) on the other side was also denied a goal.

In the final phase of the party, Danilo sees the yellow card twice within three minutes (81st/84th). In the second case, Stuttgart got a penalty, which Millot accepted (86th). But the offensive player takes his chances when choosing the corner, Perin correctly anticipates the jump into the left corner.

Touré, who came on for Demirovic in the 62nd, provided relief. Millot plays the ball perfectly in the path of the Joker, who overcomes Perin in the 92nd minute and causes celebrations on the Stuttgart bench.

Wimmer loses with Slovan in Spain

In the final phase, Stuani started from the spot for the Iberians, but in the 88th minute the score was not 3-0. Blackman (39′) had the best chance of scoring for the guests in the first half, but failed with a narrow shot over the crossbar.
