Juventus 2-1 Verona: Report, Ratings & Reaction as Uninspiring Bianconeri Labour to Narrow Win

Juventus fought back from a goal down against Verona to earn a 2-1 win in Turin, sealed by Cristiano Ronaldo's penalty.

A mad 15 seconds saw Verona take a shock lead, first hitting the post with a penalty, then smashing the crossbar on the rebound, only for Miguel Veloso to hit a 30-yard belter which flew into the top corner.

Debutant Aaron Ramsey equalised for the home side just after the half-hour mark, his long-range effort deflecting beyond the Verona goalkeeper. A Ronaldo spot-kick handed Juve the lead just after half-time, putting Maurizio Sarri's side in control at the Allianz Stadium.
