September 17, (THEWILL) — Juventus salvaged a remarkable 4-4 draw against Borussia Dortmund in a thrilling UEFA Champions League encounter at Allianz Stadium. The match exploded into life during the second half after a quiet opening period, with all eight goals coming after the interval in one of the most dramatic European fixtures in recent memory.
Borussia Dortmund took the lead through Karim Adeyemi in the 52nd minute, who found the bottom-right corner with a precise finish. Juventus responded when Kenan Yildiz curled a superb equaliser over goalkeeper Kobel, but the visitors regained their advantage just 85 seconds later through Felix Nmecha, who converted Adeyemi’s assist with a composed finish beyond Michele Di Gregorio.
Dusan Vlahovic proved instrumental after entering the match from the bench, first equalising in the 67th minute when put through by Yildiz. However, Yan Couto restored Dortmund’s lead seven minutes later, advancing down the right flank before firing a low shot into the corner. The German side appeared to have sealed victory when Ramy Bensebaini converted a penalty after Lloyd Kelly was penalised for handball.
The English defender became the unlikely hero in stoppage time, completing Juventus’ extraordinary comeback. Vlahovic first reduced the deficit with his second goal from Pierre Kalulu’s cross, before delivering a precise cross in the 96th minute that Kelly converted with a header. The goal survived a lengthy VAR review that confirmed Kelly had remained onside, capping one of the most remarkable UCL matches ever witnessed.
