Juventus came from 1-0 down to beat Celta Vigo 2-1 in Vigo, with Nick Woltemade scoring the equaliser in the 58th minute and Randal Kolo Muani settling it in the 90th minute plus 2. Woltemade finished with an 8.2 rating, the best on the pitch, while Kolo Muani's impact off the bench gave Juventus the late edge they needed.
Woltemade's part in the turnaround
Celta had gone ahead through Hugo Álvarez in the 18th minute and held that lead for much of the match. Woltemade's response after the break changed the feel of the game, and his second goal in 2 Europa League appearances this season shows how quickly he has become decisive in Europe.
Kolo Muani then provided the finish. He has 3 goal contributions in 2 Europa League appearances this season, and this was another strong return on a night when Juventus needed a substitute to make the difference.
Celta's errors and the late swing
The other side of the story belongs to Marcos Alonso. His chest control error led directly to the equaliser, and another defensive lapse involving him helped Juventus complete the comeback in stoppage time. Alonso's 6.56 rating reflected a difficult night, and Celta's defeat leaves them 27th in the Europa League table after one match.
Juventus have kept a perfect Europa League record through the early phase of the competition, and this was the kind of away win that can settle a group campaign quickly. The key detail is still the same one from Balaídos, though. Woltemade equalised, Kolo Muani finished it, and Juventus left Vigo with three points.
