Hence the winner of the tie was to be decided by this very game. Since Juventus were playing this game in their home ground, everyone expected an easy win for them.
But, then happened the unexpected. Villarreal proved everyone wrong. In the 78th minute of the game Gerard Morena scored the opening goal for the visitors and the Turin crowd was in shock. The Italian side tried to make a comeback, but they failed to get past the Villarreal goalkeeper. Furthermore the visitors scored two more goals in the next 12 minutes and sealed the game.
