Fourteen goals were scored in three games this Tuesday evening. Juve and Borussia Dortmund made the show (4-4) while the Benfica Lisbon fell from very high at home.
After the victories of Arsenal and the Union Saint-Gilloise at the opening of the Champions League League phase, three games were argued this Tuesday evening in parallel with the shock Real Madrid-OM (2-1). And two of them offered a big show.
Led by two goals in Lisbon, the Azerbaijani of Qarabag created the feat to win 2-3 while Tottenham dominated Villarreal (1-0). Borussia Dortmund thought of winning a completely crazy match on the Juventus lawn, before undergoing the improbable return of the Turin in additional time (4-4).

Qarabag’s feat in Lisbon
She had seen him coming. And after twenty minutes of play, the Benfica Lisbon had made sure to avoid the Azerbaijani trap. Effective, Enzo Barrenechea (6th, 1-0) then Vangelis Pavlidis (16th, 2-0) had adjusted the mire to put the LisBoets to orbit. The Estádio da Luz could savor … then patatras. Half an hour of playing, the locals inevitably lose foot in front of the Qarabag ghost. The striker Leandro Andrade first reduced the gap (30th, 2-1) then Camilo Duran put the two teams on a par (48th, 2-2).
Stupor in the Portuguese capital. Who was not at the end of his sorrows, seeing his team without solutions to iron in front. The Azerbaijanis believed more than ever there, and well took them. As a hero, the Ukrainian Oleksiy Kashchuk Crucifiit Benfica (86th, 2-3) to provide historical success to his club. The message has passed, Qarabag did not come to the Champions League to do figuration. Nice’s femor during the preliminary round this summer, Benfica, on the other hand, has all spoiled and puts himself sticks in the wheels before a more full -bodied calendar (Chelsea, Newcastle, Ajax, Naples, Juventus, Real Madrid …)
Furious madness in Turin
Eight goals in the second half for a final score of 4-4 between Juventus and Borussa Dortmund, it was worth waiting for the Allianz Stadium. Little inspired at kick -off, the Juve of Igor Tudor dominated the debates in the first period with a omnipresent khéphren Thuram. But a very shy Borussia Dortmund held the shock for 45 minutes without great flights. And everything was going to get carried away on the return from the locker room. The BVB stung first thanks to the sudden strike signed Karim Adeyemi at 18 meters (52nd, 0-1). Answer ten minutes later from Turkish Kenan Yildiz, author of a magnificent shot wrapped in the skylight (63rd). The jewel of the evening. 1-1 and finally the game, madness in Italy.
At a kick-off, Felix Nmecha superbly restored the advantage to the Germans (65th, 1-2) … surprised in turn in the process. Dusan Vlahovic, just entered in the place of Jonathan David, again put the meters to zero (67th, 2-2). The exchange of blows between the men of Tudor and those of Kovac was not finished. Far from it. Definitely surprising, Dortmund still took up the advantage thanks to its side Yan Couto (74th, 2-3). Definitive and endowed advantage, it was thought, when Ramy Bensebaïni did the break on a penalty (86th, 2-4). But, decidedly, this old lady – already returned from nowhere last Saturday against Inter (4-3) – is made of another wood. In additional time, Vlahovic for the double (94th) then Kelly (96th), on a perfect center of the Serbian striker, made Dortmund vacillate. And this time, the Mano mano was touching (finally) at its end. Draw, far from virgin. One point each, rather logical.

On the London side, the winner of the last Europa League has ideally started his campaign in C1 by offering Villarreal (1-0). With the French Randal Kolo Muani (who came into play at the 77th) and Wilson Odobert on the bench at the start, the Spurs started to the floor. Well helped, it is true, by the Guardian Luiz Junior, who put the head of the yellow submarine underwater with a gross error against his camp (4th). The rest was only chase behind the scoring for the Spanish club, which will never have been able to pack this part. And this, despite interesting situations for Buchanan (25th) and Pepe (13th, 55th).
