Match Report

Jose Gimenez and Diego Godin struck late to earn Atletico Madrid a 2-0 victory in an entertaining first leg of their Champions League last-16 clash with Juventus.

Gimenez picked up the pieces at a 78th-minute corner to drill home the opener, before Diego Godin's strike five minutes later deflected in off former Real Madrid man Cristiano Ronaldo.

Alvaro Morata had earlier been denied a goal against his old club by VAR, while Juve's best chance saw a Ronaldo free-kick tipped over by Jan Oblak in the first 10 minutes.

The Serie A champions looked on course to take a goalless draw back to Turin until Atleti, who will have Diego Costa and Thomas Partey suspended for the return trip, snared the victory.

Goals/ Highlights

Goal! Godin pops up at the back post, and his shot finds the back of the net via a deflection of Cristiano Ronaldo! 

Goal! José Giménez fires Atletico into the lead! 

No Goal! It just had to be Alvaro Morata! A towering header against his former side! but it's chalked off for a foul in the build-up! 

Post! Szczesny tips the ball onto the crossbar to deny Griezmann! Frantic stuff at the Wanda! 

Chance! Diego Costa spurns a chance one on one! The Athleti man really should be hitting the target there! 

Chance! Griezmann stings the palms of Szczesny! 

Chance! Ronaldo stings the palms of Jan Oblak with a free-kick from way out! 

Let's go!
