Bate 1 - 0 FC Juventus

What a luck guys, Juventus Coach Claudio Ranieri forced to make his first substitution.  Defender Nicola Legrottaglie is injured and cannot continue. 
Legrottaglie out, Dario Knezevic in

In the 23rd minute, guess what? what! Another goal by Bate!!!  This is not possible guys, what's going on with Juventus who were supposed to score first and being the strongest ---at least on paper!!!  Pavel Nehaichik provides the assist to Igor Staevich heading the ball from the right side of the box all the way to the bottom left corner where Juventus goalkeeper Alexander Manninger could not save!  Mamma mia!  I already have a headache and I hope Saint goalkeeper Gigi Buffon recovers ASAP.
Bate 2 - 0 Juventus


In the 29th minute, oh yes, yes, yes,  finally!!!  Guys, our young midfielder Sebastian Giovinco provides the assist to forward Vincenzo Iaquinta with a precious headed ball from the center of the box to the very top left corner blasting Bate goalkeeper.  I am jumping of joy!!! Come on Juve, forza!!!!  Way to go for Iaquinta and Giovinco.
Bate 2 - 1 FC Juventus

                          
             Let's fly seem to say Iaquinta celebrating his goal.... time for equalizing the match.. Forza!!!

In the 40th minute, almost a chance to equalize the score.  Mamma mia!  My beloved Alessandro Del Piero missed the target after shooting from outside the box sending the ball too high up, up, and away from a direct free kick. !! Uffa....  Come on Juventus.  How much I want Del Piero to score!!!  Forza Del Piero.. let's do it..

In the 45th minute, thanks God Bate missed the target because it would have been a disaster for Juve conceding another goal before the break.  Sergey Krivets shoots from outside the box and misses the target sending the ball to the left.

Hey,,,, wowww!  In the 46th minute, again young midfielder and sensation boy Sebastian Giovinco providing an asist to midfielder Pavel Nedved shooting from the center of the box to the center of the goal only to be saved by Bate goalkeeper Veremko!!!!

I hope things change in the second half because Juve needs to wake up and smell the coffee.  We cannot risk losing this match.

In the 45th minute, Juventus coach Claudio Ranieri makes his second substitution.
Mauro Camoranesi out, Claudio Marchisio in.


Hey, guys, what was I saying about the second half!!!!  Hello, hello, hip, hip hurrah!!!! In the 48th minute, Vincenzo Iaquinta scores a doppietta!!! Unbelievable, guys, let's stand up for Sebastian Giovinco providing the assist to Iaquinta who shoos from the center of the box to the center of the goal blastiing Bate goalkeeper!  Wow. I love it, I just love it!!!!  My goodness sake, Giovinco has been super effective providing both assists!!!! Plus, Iaquinta on fire, rocking!!! It will be an unforgettable debut in the Champions League for Giovinco. Thumbs up.
BATE 2 - 2 FC Juventus

Wow, in the 57th minute, it is Iaquinta to provide a headed pass to our "golden boy" Pavel Nedved shooting from outside the box to the top center of the goal only to be saved!!! Wow, guys, this is awesome because Juventus returned more aggressive and concentration is back.  I love this reaction from Juventus. Let's hope for Del Piero to score!!!!

Time for Bate to make a substitution.  In the 70th minute,  Midfielder Dzmitry Likhtarovich out, Mikhail Sivakou.

Just a minute guys, in the 71st minute, and DEL PIERO with a left footed shot from outside the box got the chance to mark the winning goal and is blocked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Help!!! Aiuto!  Forza Del Piero.. Come on...

Unbelievable, guys!  I am going to faint!  In the 80th minute, Del Piero right footed shot from outside the box is blocked!  Just 10 more minutes and Juventus must score.  Forza Del Piero. Hey, Del Piero is trying and shooting on goal but Bate goalkeeper proving hard to beat!

In the 81st minute, third substitution for Juventus. Vincenzo Iaquinta out, Amauri in. Well, it makes sense because  Amauri could not start since the beginning for having some flu symptoms.  Thanks Iaquinta for the two goals!!! Standing ovation for Iaquinta guys!!!!

In the 86th minute, Bate Borisov makes the second substitution. Pavel Nehaichik out, forward Vladislav Mirchev in.

Oh no, not possible!   In the 90th minute, Juventus defender gets an assist by Del Piero and is saved when Chiellini shoots from the center of the box to the center of the goal!  Wow.. Incredible.  Juventus did try to score but it was written that the result was going to be a draw guys. 

Immediately, Bate also a chance to deliver the winning goal in the 90th minute!!! Thanks God Juventus goalkeeper Manninger saved the shot from Vitali Rodionov!!!!! Scary guys!

In the 92nd minut, Bate Borisov makes their last substitution. Vitali Rodionov out, Ivan Pecha in.

That's it... match is over and it is 2-2.  Well, at least Juve recovered from a 2-0 and equalized the score thanks to forward Vincenzo Iaquinta.  Well done guys.
