Vlahović Rescues Juventus in Eight-Goal Champions League Spectacle
Must-Watch Futmetrix Score: 96/100. When two European heavyweights collide in the group stage, a 4-4 draw that leaves both sides celebrating and cursing is the only verdict that captures the sheer madness of what unfolded at Allianz Stadium.
The Intensity Never Stopped
From the opening whistle, this was a match devoid of caution. Borussia Dortmund arrived in Turin intent on proving they belonged in Europe's elite company, and for 74 minutes, they made a compelling case. Karim Adeyemi struck first in the 52nd minute, assisted by Serhou Guirassy, igniting a frenetic second half. The balance of power shifted constantly—Juventus equalised through Kenan Yıldız's clinical finish in the 63rd minute (set up by Joao Mario), only for Felix Nmecha to restore Dortmund's lead two minutes later. By the 74th minute, Yan Couto's header made it 3-2 to the visitors, and the stakes appeared set: Dortmund were in control.
The Turning Point: Vlahović's Resurrection
Then came the chaos. Dušan Vlahović, introduced as a substitute, became Juventus's executioner. In the 86th minute, Rayan Bensebaini's penalty gave Dortmund a 4-3 cushion—seemingly decisive. But Juventus weren't finished. Vlahović levelled in the 90th minute, assisted by Pierre Kalulu, and in the same breath, Lloyd Kelly completed the resurrection with a Vlahović assist. Eight goals in one match. Two teams, 52 combined shots (Juventus 19, Dortmund 10), possession split 52-48 in Juventus's favour. The data screams of an upset factor that neither side anticipated.
The Numbers Behind the Madness
Juventus's 89% pass accuracy (437 of 491) and dominance in the final third proved decisive in the end, yet Dortmund's clinical efficiency—just 10 shots to Juventus's 19—nearly stole the night. Vlahović's 9.7 rating and two-goal, one-assist performance, combined with Yıldız's all-round brilliance (goal, assist, three key passes), turned the tide when it mattered most. Both sides leave with a point and a story: a match that will be replayed, analysed, and celebrated as the kind of European football that reminds us why we watch.
Key Questions
What made Dušan Vlahović the Man of the Match?
Two goals and an assist as a substitute, including a 90th-minute equaliser and the assist for Kelly's dramatic leveller. Clinical finishing under maximum pressure.
