Video: Unexpected Yildiz opens Supercoppa scoring 20 minutes into Juventus-Milan | OneFootball

Kenan Yildiz took just 20 minutes to open the scoring for Juventus in their Supercoppa Italiana semi-final against Milan on Friday evening, capitalising on a poor piece of defending from Rossoneri full-back Theo Hernandez.

You can follow the action as it unfolds on the Football Italia LIVEBLOG.

Yildiz was not expected to start against Milan on Friday evening, but was drafted in as a last minute replacement for Francisco Conceicao, who pulled up with an injury in the warm-up ahead of his father’s first game in charge of the Rossoneri.

Playing in an unfavoured position on the right wing, Yildiz received a nicely-weighted through ball from Samuel Mbangula, which completely caught Theo Hernandez. The Turk made no mistake in thumping a venomous effort past Mike Maignan at his near post.

The winner of Juventus-Milan will go on to face Inter, who beat Atalanta 2-0 on Thursday, in Monday’s final.
