Juventus snatch late win at Celta Vigo

Kolo Muani's stoppage-time strike seals a 2-1 comeback victory in Spain.

Celta Vigo took an early lead through Hugo Álvarez's 18th-minute goal, but Juventus fought back after the break with N. Woltemade equalising in the 58th minute. The visitors clinched the win thanks to R. Kolo Muani's decisive goal deep into stoppage time. This result defied Fipster's medium-confidence prediction of a Celta Vigo victory, turning the tie in Juventus' favour.
