Juventus Moved to the Top of Group H with 2-1 Victory over Real Madrid

Juventus defeated Real Madrid 2-1 last night in a high-profile tie of Champions League Group H. Two goals from Alessandro Del Piero and Amauri took Juventus at the top of the point table of group H with 7 points from 3 matches. Real Madrid is now placed second in the group with a point less than Juventus.

Both teams are favorite from Group H to progress to the knock-out stage. Though Real Madrid lost the match, they are still in the course of qualification for the next round. Del Piero put the home side ahead in the 5th minute of the match before Amauri doubled the lead in the 49th minute. Ruud van Nistelrooy decreased the difference with his goal in the 66th minute, but Real Madrid could not score the equalizer in the match.
