Kolo Muani Snatches Dramatic Late Victory for Juventus Against Celta Vigo
Randal Kolo Muani scored a 92nd-minute winner to secure a 2-1 comeback victory for Juventus against Celta Vigo in the Europa League.
Juventus maintained their perfect start in the Europa League after a thrilling 2-1 victory over Celta Vigo at the Estadio Abanca-Balaidos. Despite dominating the statistical categories, Luciano Spalletti’s side found themselves trailing at halftime following an 18th-minute strike from Hugo Álvarez, who converted a cross from Williot Swedberg.
The Bianconeri improved after the break, with Nick Woltemade leveling the score just before the hour mark. After Marcos Alonso failed to clear a cross, Woltemade capitalized on the error with a clinical volley into the bottom-right corner.
A late turnaround
As the match headed into stoppage time, it appeared the points would be shared. However, in the 92nd minute, Andrea Cambiaso delivered a precise cross into the box that Randal Kolo Muani headed past Ionut Radu to snatch the win. The result keeps Juventus at the top of the Europa League table.
The victory provides a significant boost for Spalletti, whose position had recently come under scrutiny following a difficult start to the season. With both Woltemade and Kolo Muani finding their form, the Italian giants will look to build on this momentum in their upcoming fixtures.
