After the first half, the hosts lost 0:2 – the goals for the guests were scored by Kandreva and Pentek (from the penalty spot). The second half started with a Bremer goal to close the gap for Juve. The score was 1:2 until the first minute of stoppage time when Leonardo Bonucci restored the balance in the match for a foul in his penalty area by former Krasnodar player Tony Vilhena. Also, the defender didn’t take the penalty at first, but then finished the ball which bounced off the goalkeeper in the goal. And in the fifth extra minute, Juventus scored the third goal – Milik scored from a corner – but the referee didn’t count it because of an offside position, using VAR.
At the end of the match, there was a skirmish between the players, following which Juan Cuadrado and Federico Facio were sent off. Moreover, after Juventus’ 3rd goal was disallowed, the hosts’ head coach Massimiliano Allegri was dismissed. And the most curious withdrawal was received by Arkadiusz Milik, who, already having a yellow card, ripped off his t-shirt, thinking he had scored the third winning goal, and as a result received a second caution, and is went to locker room. It was only after this incident that the referee went to VAR, who showed Juventus offside the moment Milik scored.
