Juventus 2-0 Pafos FC: Post-match review, Stats, Key moments

Dive into Coral’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 beat Pafos FC 2-0 in a solid home win. The first half was pretty even, with both sides creating a few chances but neither finding the net, and Pafos picked up a yellow card for Ivan Sunjic just before the break. Juventus, coming off a mixed run with a win against Bodø/Glimt but a loss to Real Madrid, looked sharper after the interval, especially with Francisco Conceição coming on at half-time to replace Edon Zhegrova.

Things really kicked off in the second half when Weston McKennie scored in the 67th minute, assisted by Andrea Cambiaso, giving Juventus the lead they deserved. Just five minutes later, Jonathan David added a second with help from Kenan Yıldız, sealing the points. Pafos, who had drawn with Monaco recently but suffered a heavy defeat to Bayern, tried to respond with late substitutions but couldn’t break through, leaving Juventus to build on their recent victory.

Juventus bossed possession with well over half the ball, which helped them rack up plenty of corners and keep Pafos on the back foot for much of the game. Their successful dribbles edged out Pafos, showing they were more effective at beating players and creating openings, while both teams picked up just one yellow card each, keeping things fairly clean without any reds. Assists went Juventus’s way too, with two recorded compared to none for Pafos, underlining who controlled the attacking play.

On the subs front, both sides used all five available, with Juventus making changes like Loïs Openda replacing Manuel Locatelli around the hour mark to freshen things up, and Pafos bringing on Domingos Quina for Anderson Silva shortly after. These tweaks seemed to help Juventus more, as their goals came soon after some key switches, while Pafos’s later triple change couldn’t turn the tide.

The game stayed goalless until the second half, but Juventus turned it around with two quick goals that decided the match. Weston McKennie broke the deadlock in the 67th minute, slotting home after a neat assist from Andrea Cambiaso, which shifted the momentum firmly in their favour. Jonathan David followed up in the 72nd minute, finishing off a move set up by Kenan Yıldız, making it 2-0 and effectively ending Pafos’s hopes.

Substitutions played a part too, with Francisco Conceição coming on for Edon Zhegrova at half-time to add some spark for Juventus, and later changes like Vasilije Adžić replacing Jonathan David after his goal. Pafos had their moments, like Ivan Sunjic’s yellow card before the break and a flurry of late subs including Mons Bassouamina for Vlad Dragomir, but yellow cards for Manuel Locatelli on the Juventus side didn’t disrupt their rhythm much.

Juventus lined up in a 3-4-2-1 shape, which gave them good balance at the back while allowing players like Weston McKennie and Jonathan David to push forward effectively. Andrea Cambiaso and Kenan Yıldız formed a useful partnership in creating chances, with McKennie’s goal highlighting his role in midfield. Substitutes like Francisco Conceição and Loïs Openda added energy when they came on, helping to maintain control.

Pafos FC set up in a 3-4-2-1 formation, focusing on a solid defensive base with players like Ivan Sunjic in midfield to break up play. David Goldar anchored the backline before making way for Kostas Pileas late on, while Vlad Dragomir and Mislav Orsic tried to link attacks until their substitutions for Mons Bassouamina and Jajá. The setup kept things tight early, but they struggled to convert possession into real threats.

Weston McKennie earned Coral’s Man of the Match for his standout performance, grabbing a crucial goal and delivering three key passes that kept Juventus ticking. Even without assists or big chances created, his all-round contribution was massive in breaking down Pafos and securing the win. He was on from the start and made his presence felt throughout, especially in that decisive second-half spell.
