It took 15 appearances, but electric winger Marko Pjaca is on the board at Juventus.
The highly rated young Croatian, signed in the summer by the Bianconeri, broke the deadlock in Wednesday’s Champions League Round of 16, first-leg clash against FC Porto, firing home a fierce right-footed effort minutes after coming off the bench.
The goal gave Juventus a 1-0 lead, and fellow substitute Dani Alves added a second two minutes later to double the Italian side’s advantage.
