Dive into Bwin’s post-match review of Juventus 2-0 Pafos FC in the Champions League on Wednesday, 10 December 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.

Juventus secured a 2-0 victory over Pafos FC in a controlled performance at home. The first half ended goalless, with both sides struggling to create clear chances despite Juventus holding more possession, and Pafos FC picking up a yellow card for Ivan Sunjic just before the break. Juventus, coming off a mixed run including a win against Bodø/Glimt and draws with Sporting CP and Villarreal, looked to build on their recent form by introducing Francisco Conceição at half-time.

The breakthrough came in the second half when Weston McKennie scored in the 67th minute, assisted by Andrea Cambiaso, shifting momentum firmly towards the hosts. Jonathan David added a second five minutes later in the 72nd minute, with an assist from Kenan Yıldız, sealing the win. Pafos FC, who had drawn with Monaco and beaten Villarreal in recent outings but suffered a heavy loss to Bayern München, made several late substitutions but could not mount a comeback.

Juventus dominated possession with over 60% of the ball, which translated into a clear edge in corners and overall control, allowing them to dictate the tempo and create more attacking opportunities. Both teams showed similar success in dribbles, indicating Pafos FC’s threat on the counter, but Juventus recorded two assists compared to none for the visitors, highlighting their sharper finishing in key phases. Cards were minimal with one yellow each, reflecting a disciplined encounter without major disruptions.

Substitutions played a role in maintaining energy, as Juventus brought on players like Francisco Conceição for Edon Zhegrova at the 46th minute and Loïs Openda for Manuel Locatelli at the 60th, while Pafos FC introduced Domingos Quina for Anderson Silva at the 62nd and made a triple change at the 78th with Mons Bassouamina for Vlad Dragomir, Jajá for Mislav Orsic, and Kostas Pileas for David Goldar.

The match turned decisively in the second half with Weston McKennie’s goal in the 67th minute, assisted by Andrea Cambiaso, which broke the deadlock after a tight opening period. Jonathan David’s strike five minutes later in the 72nd, set up by Kenan Yıldız, effectively ended Pafos FC’s resistance. Yellow cards were shown to Manuel Locatelli in the 55th for Juventus and Ivan Sunjic in the 45th for Pafos FC, adding tension without leading to further dismissals.

Impact substitutions helped Juventus maintain their push, such as Loïs Openda replacing Manuel Locatelli at the 60th minute, while Pafos FC’s late changes, including Bruno Langa for João Correia at the 89th, came too late to influence the outcome.

Juventus lined up in a 3-4-2-1 formation, with Weston McKennie and Jonathan David playing key roles in the attacking third, supported by creative partnerships like Andrea Cambiaso and Kenan Yıldız who provided assists. Substitutes such as Francisco Conceição, who came on for Edon Zhegrova at half-time, and Khéphren Thuram, who replaced Fabio Miretti in the 74th, added fresh impetus to their midfield and forward lines.

Pafos FC deployed a 3-4-2-1 shape, focusing on defensive solidity with players like Ivan Sunjic in midfield, though they struggled to convert dribbles into goals. Late substitutions brought on Mons Bassouamina for Vlad Dragomir, Jajá for Mislav Orsic, and Kostas Pileas for David Goldar at the 78th minute, aiming to boost their attack in the closing stages.

Bwin’s Man of the Match was Weston McKennie, who stood out with his goal in the 67th minute and three key passes that helped Juventus unlock Pafos FC’s defence. Although he recorded no assists or big chances created, his overall contribution was pivotal in shifting the game’s momentum.
