In the first period, Juventus had a hat-ful of chances as Gianmarco's pace and positioning left the Sporting defence in tatters. Adrian made a great save from the first chance and then Gianmarco headed the second one over. It was third-time-lucky though when Gianmarco converted, following a good pass out of defence. Shortly afterwards, Gianmarco turned up again - and hit the bar - and then again - and headed over - and then again - and shot wide. After all that, a long throw from Santi canoned off Cameron and went in for the equaliser.
Another throw from Santiago led to another own goal and now Lisbon were ahead. But only briefly. Juve repaid the compliment, Tiago scoring from a Vittorio throw-in.
In teh final period, Gianmarco struck again... almost. He crashed a shot back off the post and then saw his follow-up cleared off the line. And then it looked like Lisbon would win it at the end. Theo kicked the ball high over the South fence... penalty! Francesco was nominated to be Juve's executioner, but the ball finished just wide of the post.
The match will be decided by a penalty shoot-out on Monday, morning break.
BEST PLAYER POINTS: Santiago 6, Theo 5, Cameron 4, Tiago 2, Gianmarco 2, Adrian 2, Vittorio 2, Ryan 1, Adriano 1, Albero 1, Kevin 1, Ralf 1, Gabriele 1
