TEHRAN, Feb 21 - Atletico Madrid have taken a huge advantage in their heavyweight Champions League last-16 tie with Juventus, earning a 2-0 home win thanks to late goals from Uruguayan defenders Jose Gimenez and Diego Godin.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) -Atletico had a goal ruled out and a penalty awarded then taken away by the Video Assistant Referee in the second half.
Gimenez then slid to the floor in a crowded penalty box to bundle the ball into the net from close range in the 78th minute.
But it wasn’t the end as captain Godin grabbed a vital second goal with seven minutes remaining to take the upper hand going into the return leg in Turin.
