The Turin team had no difficulties in the confrontation with the newcomer to Serie A
The final match of the opening round took place in Turin Serie A — Juventus confidently beat Como (3:0).
Thiago Motta surprised with his starting lineup in his debut match at the helm of the Turin team. In particular, there was a place in the starting lineup for the 20-year-old Belgian midfielder Samuel Mbangula, who is a product of the Primavera of Juventus and who made his debut for the main team today. It was Mbangula who scored the first goal of the Turin team this season, scoring in the 23rd minute from a pass by Timothy Weah.
In injury time at the end of the first half, Weah doubled Juve’s lead, assisted by the American Kenan Yildiz, who recently extended his contract with the club and changed his number to the iconic ten.
The final goal in the match was scored by defender Andrea Cambiaso in stoppage time of the second half.
As a result, Juventus took a confident three points, but Como, under the leadership of Cesc Fabregas, failed to debut in the elite division with a positive result.
In the second round of Serie A, Juventus will play Verona away on August 26. Como, in turn, will play Cagliari away on the same day.
