"The Bianconeri were just inside the top 24 before Wednesday's games, level on points with their Cypriot opponents, but Luciano Spalletti's men are now 17th with a three-point buffer. Juve - who had drawn their last two at home in the league phase - avoided early calamity when Bruno Felipe's cross hit both Lloyd Kelly and Andrea Cambiaso and drew a fine save from Michele Di Gregorio."
"Francisco Conceicao then twice went close before Juve did make the breakthrough in the 67th minute when McKennie drilled inside the near post after being found by Cambiaso on the right of the area. Juve then took complete control with a lightning quick counter that ended with Yildiz laying one on a plate for David to find the bottom-right corner from near the penalty spot."
Juventus secured a 2-0 victory over Pafos at Allianz Stadium through goals from Weston McKennie and Jonathan David, improving their Champions League position.

David missed a close-range opportunity before the break. McKennie opened the scoring in the 67th minute and David finished a rapid counterattack to seal the win.
