Juventus overturned a one‑goal deficit in Norway to clinch a 3‑2 victory, securing their first group win and moving to 6 points.

Juventus finally found their breakthrough in the Champions League, clinching a dramatic 3‑2 win away to Bodø/Glimt.

The Norwegian hosts started brightly, with goalkeeper Nikita Haikin crucially thwarting Francisco Conceição’s effort in the 8th minute. Juventus missed an inviting chance through Vasilije Adžić in the 22nd minute before Bodø/Glimt capitalized on their momentum.

Ole Blomberg opened the scoring in the 27th minute, nodding in from close range after a corner. Haikin was again called into action in the 33rd minute, denying Adžić, and produced another confident stop just before the interval after another Conceição attempt.

Despite a handball incident in Juventus’ box in the 35th minute, play continued as neither the referee nor VAR intervened. The deadlock was broken just after the restart when Lois Openda equalized in the 48th minute.

Juventus thought they had taken the lead in the 54th minute through Fabio Miretti, but VAR ruled him offside. Persistence paid off in the 59th minute when Miretti set up Weston McKennie, who completed the comeback.

Bodø/Glimt refused to give up and earned a penalty in the 85th minute after Juan Cabal’s reckless foul. Sondre Fet dispatched the spot‑kick in the 87th minute to level the score at 2‑2.

In stoppage time, Kenan Yıldız’s shot was saved by Haikin, but Jonathan David pounced on the rebound in the 91st minute, netting from close range to restore Juventus’ lead. David had another chance minutes later but failed to convert with a header.

The full‑time whistle saw Juventus celebrate their first win in the group, moving them up to 6 points, while Bodø/Glimt remained on 2 points.
