Juventus 2-1 PSV

Samuel Mbangula registered late to give Juventus a slender advantage over PSV in their Champions League knockout phase play-off.

The Italian side, who finished 20th during the group phase, made a dominant start as Nicolas Gonzalez, Kenan Yildiz and Paris St-Germain loanee Randal Kolo Muani all had opportunities.

Weston McKennie broke the deadlock in the 34th minute with a stunning strike from the edge of the area after PSV failed to clear their lines.

Despite struggling to carve out clear cut chances, the Dutch side levelled with just their second shot on target when Ivan Perisic nestled an effort into the bottom corner.

With the game seemingly heading for a stalemate, Mbangula popped up to score the winner from just a couple of yards out.

The second-leg will take place at Philips Stadion on 19 February.
