00:01Lifted concerns for a little while but should Juve falter here tonight you can
00:06rest assured that the pressure will mount up again. The line-up they have
00:12suffered a blow ahead of this one with the Wesley Pettati who scored twice
00:16against Ararat in the joined the already lengthy midfield casualty list he's been
00:21left at home tonight. Four changes in all from the weekend victory over Napoli.
00:31So it's Juventus in the all-black strip who get us away and in no doubt position on
00:39the left, Kohler Mouane on the right with Voltemada playing up through the middle.
00:46And plenty of variations in formation terms and in approach.
00:53Here is Voltemada, Kohler Mouane with his first real opportunity.
00:59He'll get it again.
01:03The Dane.
01:13He's almost locked there, Dahl, in a Pierre-Koloulou bear hug.
01:22No great surprise that a free kick was given in favour of the home side and another will be there.
01:27Ali Begovic, the guilty party.
01:36He's had a bit of a knee problem of late indeed.
01:40It's no doubt quicker to list the players who haven't had injury issues for Juventus this season.
01:55Very neatly done by Kohler Mouane.
01:57Very neatly done by Kohler Mouane.
01:59Bit of help is at hand.
02:01Oh, and there it is!
02:02Toon Kohler Mouane on his return to the club where it all began.
02:11Strikes the opening goal for Juventus.
02:17Very respectful in terms of his celebrations.
02:26And mixed feelings, perhaps, for the Kopmeners family.
02:30Certainly disappointment for coach Leroy Echdel.
02:35But Kohler Mouane setting it in motion.
02:46The moment is for Kaloulou and that's a ball that carried a bit of threat.
02:51Ali Begovic!
02:55Biscoff was given away by Cambiasso.
02:57This is Cassius.
03:01Krakrat.
03:03Deflection.
03:04And Vicario able to gather.
03:08Well, growing grip on possession.
03:11And it's possession with purpose.
03:23They haven't had a single match this season, I said,
03:26where they've had a lesser share of possession.
03:28Kohler Mouane and Valtomar are combining.
03:30Kohler Mouane!
03:32Beautiful!
03:33Superbly stuck away!
03:39And thanks to a little bit of looseness at the back,
03:46coupled with his own pressure,
03:48he produced what would probably only be described as half a chance.
03:53It's the bit put in a difficult situation.
03:55Kohler Mouane combining well.
03:58The striker using his strength to fend off Biscoff.
04:03Bang! 2-0.
04:09And a man who has got to go some way to convince a good number of critics.
04:22Half-time in Alkmaar.
04:26And it's really been all about Randall Kohler Mouane,
04:29who's had a terrific first half.
04:35So, RZ get us away in the second half.
04:40And more from the...
04:43So, first corner of the game for RZ.
04:45Will it be a situation that provides a route back?
04:52Valtomar the duelling.
04:58Devitt.
04:59Dahl.
05:03Devitt.
05:07Lukumi in the way.
05:08It's Dahl.
05:09It's Smit!
05:13He just found that half yard,
05:15which they have struggled to do all night
05:18in that Juve penalty area.
05:23And he knows.
05:25He knows.
05:26That was a big opportunity.
05:31Possibly off the arm of Kalulu.
05:33Here is Dahl.
05:37Oh, and...
05:38Bremer was in the way.
05:40Across the face.
05:42By Ufkir.
05:45It's Devitt.
05:47The RZ pressure on its height.
05:50Dahl's ball in.
05:54Klasi.
05:55Krakman.
05:57Nays Devitt.
05:58Oh, it's Wesley Hoot out there.
06:02Krakman.
06:02Krakman's ball in.
06:04The head of Kelly.
06:08Painful for Dykstra.
06:12And the free kick is given.
06:24Krakman.
06:26Well, anything now might be too little,
06:28too late for RZ.
06:30But they're looking again,
06:31Ufkir in behind Kelly.
06:35And he's kept it in.
06:36And he's kept it in.
06:40Dykstra.
06:46And on for Dykstra again.
06:48Potential here!
06:51And hope rekindled.
06:54Mierdink.
06:55With a straight forward tap in.
07:02And suddenly they believe.
07:06That they might yet take some reward from the night.
07:08Ufkir.
07:10Rewarded for his persistence.
07:14And Dykstra's willingness to get in behind.
07:17Clearly onside.
07:19And perfectly across the face.
07:22For Max Mierdink.
07:25To gobble up his eighth goal of the season.
07:31Mierdink.
07:31Ufkir.
07:34It's a teaser.
07:36Mierdink!
07:37Oh!
07:38And Vikari has clawed it out!
07:40In by De Witt!
07:41But!
07:41Their joy.
07:44Is going to be cut short.
07:48Well, let's pick the bones out of it.
07:51Ufkir's floated ball.
07:52Mierdink is offside there.
07:55He gets the header in.
07:57And that is why this.
08:02And that will be that.
08:04A stirring end.
08:07From RZ.
08:09Who's 17 game unbeaten record in Europe here.
