Juventus suffered a 3-1 defeat in their third Premier League International Cup fixture, losing away to West Ham after a hard-fought encounter. Simone Padoin's side, featuring players from both the Under-20 and Next Gen squads, fell behind to a Montague goal before Tiozzo Pagio equalised late in the first half. Omotoye restored the hosts' lead after the break, before Medine sealed the result with a late penalty.
THE MATCH REPORT
Juventus started positively and created their first chance in the ninth minute, when Repciuc delivered an inviting cross from the left for Lopez Comellas, whose header went wide. The same forward threatened again in the 15th minute, heading narrowly off target.
West Ham broke the deadlock in the 29th minute, however, when Montague turned the ball home from close range following a free-kick. Juventus looked to respond but also had to deal with the hosts' attacking threat, with Fuscaldo producing an excellent save in the 34th minute.
The Bianconeri went close again in the 39th minute, when a fine move involving Tiozzo Pagio set up Lopez Comellas, only for Awesu to react brilliantly and deny him. The equaliser arrived four minutes later: following a corner taken by Beydts, Tiozzo Pagio unleashed a powerful shot from the edge of the penalty area, beating the West Ham goalkeeper to make it 1-1 at half-time.
West Ham regained the lead in the 55th minute, as Omotoye capitalised on a defensive mistake and finished from close range to make it 2-1. Juventus remained in the contest, with Fuscaldo once again coming to the rescue in the 65th minute, producing an excellent save to prevent the hosts from extending their advantage.
Padoin's side pushed forward in search of an equaliser in the closing stages, but the West Ham defence stood firm. Instead, the hosts added a third goal in the final moments, with Medine converting a penalty to seal the 3-1 victory.
