Juventus and AC Milan secure key Europa League victories
In the second matchday of the UEFA Europa League, Juventus and AC Milan secured significant victories. Juventus staged a late comeback to defeat Celta Vigo 2-1 at Balaídos. After falling behind to an early goal by Hugo Álvarez, Juventus equalized through Nick Woltemade in the 58th minute before Randal Kolo Muani secured the win with a header in stoppage time.
AC Milan delivered a dominant 4-0 performance against RB Salzburg. Nineteen-year-old Alphadjo Cisse was the standout performer, scoring a historic hat-trick and becoming the youngest Italian player to achieve such a feat in a major European competition. Gonzalo Ramos added a fourth goal to complete the rout.
