The Bianconeri Snatch Thrilling Tie After Goal-Filled Second Period Clash With Dortmund

Englishman Lloyd Kelly netted an equaliser deep into stoppage time of added time to rescue a point for Juventus after an electrifying goal-laden second half in Turin to Dortmund.

Kelly’s Comeback Following Spot-Kick Error

Centre-back Lloyd Kelly – who joined from the Magpies in the summer – conceded a spot-kick that allowed the visitors to make it 4-2, but he responded Dusan Vlahovic's 94th-minute equaliser by heading home a delivery from Vlahovic later.

Quiet Opening Leads to Scoring Frenzy

Neither side produced much worth mentioning during the first 45 minutes as they neutralized one another in midfield.

The first half would not have enthused many spectators, but those who persisted witnessed an explosion of thrilling action in the second half – as Juventus came from behind on three occasions, with eight goals coming from the 51st minute onward.

This marks only the second UCL match in which eight scores have been scored during a single half, after the second half in Bayern's 9-2 victory against Dinamo Zagreb last season.

Rollercoaster Action

Karim Adeyemi gave Dortmund the first goal when he expertly shifted the ball on the edge the area and guided his shot past the keeper.

The German side stepped up in front of goal, but, 11 minutes later, a moment of Juventus magic by Yildiz ended with the Turkey international curling a wonderful effort top bins from range.

Less than two minutes later before Dortmund were back in front, as Nmecha delivering another exquisite shot when he curled a first-time effort top shelf.

Yet there were always further twists around the corner, with Vlahovic slotted home when one-on-one under later to tie again.

Stoppage-Time Heroics

After surrendering the lead on two occasions, BVB retook control again as Couto, charging into the penalty area, drilled a powerful shot inside the post, narrowly past the outstretched hand of the goalkeeper.

Bensebaini extended Dortmund's lead from the penalty spot after ex- U21 star Kelly touched it in his box.

But the Serbian blasted a last-gasp shot off the frame then assisting ex- club defender Kelly to seal a late equalizer.
