Juventus locked horns with Maccabi Haifa at the Sammy Ofer Stadium earlier this evening as they focused on securing a good result on the road in the UEFA Champions League. The Italian outfit made a disappointing start to the game as they conceded the opening goal in the seventh minute when Omer Atzili found the back of the net. Atzili went on to double his team’s lead in the 42nd minute as the Turin giants trailed 2-0 at half-time.
