ICC2019: RONALDO, BUFFON THE HEROES AS JUVE EDGE OUT INTER 4-3 ON PENALTIES
Joseph Omoniyi
When former Chelsea bosses, Maurizio Sarri and Antonio Conte went head-to-head in Wednesday’s International Champions Cup, Cristiano Ronaldo’s and Buffon’s became the heroes as their brilliant performances ensured Juventus secured their first win of pre-season with a penalty shootout victory over Serie A rivals Inter Milan in China on Wednesday.
75 million pounds signing, Matthijs de Ligt had scored an own goal earlier out by a deflected Cristiano Ronaldo free-kick in the second half.
Goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon was the hero for Juventus in the shootout, after saving three penalty-kicks as the Italian champions bounced back from their 3-2 defeat to Tottenham at the weekend.
