Juventus unforgiving in win at Ferencvaros

Posted Thursday, November 05, 2020 by Marca.com

Juventus were the beneficiaries of two disastrous goalkeeping errors from Denes Dibusz, which helped the Old Lady to a 4-1 win away at Ferencvaros in their Champions League group game on Wednesday. Already two goals behind, Dibusz gifted Paulo Dybala a third and fourth goal for the Italian champions.

Alvaro Morata scored his 32nd Juventus goal on his 100th appearance early on. Juan Cuadrado centred for Cristiano Ronaldo who missed the ball, allowing Morata to come around the back to tap into an open goal. That was how things stayed for the next 40 minutes until half time, but the Italians took over after the break.

Just before the hour mark, Morata got his and Juventus' second, this time with a fine finish from the edge of the area after a Cristiano Ronaldo pass to Weston McKennie made its way to him. Andrea Pirlo didn't have to wait too much longer for his third, which came in rather comical fashion through Dybala. Goalkeeper Dibusz failed to control what was a poor backpass, leaving Dybala with an open goal inside eight yards.

The 80th minute saw Juve get their fourth, and again Dibusz gifted the ball to Dybala. Trying to play it out from the back, the 'keeper kicked it straight to the No.10, allowing him to compose himself and finish. Ferencvaros got something of a consolation in the 90th minute, which prompted wild celebration in the stands as supporters had been let attend the game. Franck Boli saw his first shot saved by Wojciech Szczesny, though he was able to tap in the rebound.
