Juventus secured a dramatic 2-1 comeback victory over Celta Vigo in their UEFA Europa League Matchday 2 clash, with Randal Kolo Muani scoring a stoppage-time winner in the 92nd minute. Hugo Alvarez gave the Spanish side the lead in the 18th minute, but Juventus responded with greater attacking intent after the break. Nick Woltemade restored parity in the 58th minute, connecting with the ball after Teun Koopmeiners' cross was deflected by Marcos Alonso and firing a precise right-footed volley into the bottom corner. Juventus continued to search for a winner, with Pape Matar Sarr and Nico Gonzalez coming close to scoring. Just when the contest appeared headed for a draw, Kolo Muani rose to meet Andrea Cambiaso's cross and headed home to seal all three points for the Bianconeri in Vigo.
