ShareJuventus delivered a five-star display to begin their Europa League campaign, with Nick Woltemade and Randal Kolo Muani scoring against NEC.Juventus began their Europa League campaign with a bang as Nick Woltemade scored his first goal for the club and Randal Kolo Muani got off the mark for his second stint in Turin, in a 5-0 win over NEC. The damage was done during a dominant first half from Luciano Spalletti's side, with Nico Gonzalez, Kerim Alajbegovic and Woltemade all on target for the Serie A giants. NEC improved after the break but were unable to mark their European return with a goal, with Juventus sealing the win with late strikes from Zeki Celik and Kolo Muani. Juventus took just nine minutes to go in front at the Allianz Stadium when Kamil Grabara's long punt forward was completely misjudged by NEC goalkeeper Nikolas Polster, allowing Gonzalez the simplest of tasks to tuck the ball home. It got even better for the hosts in the 24th minute after Pape Matar Sarr's incisive pass sent Weston McKennie on his way. The Juventus captain laid the ball off to Alajbegovic, who took a couple of touches before picking out the top-left corner. NEC's misery was further compounded 10 minutes before the break when Almugera Kabar brought down Gonzalez in the penalty area, with Woltemade stepping up to send Polster the wrong way from the resulting spot-kick. But the visitors looked the more likely to get themselves on the scoresheet after the break, with Dennis Geiger's effort just evading the top-right corner.However, the result was put beyond doubt in the 75th minute by Celick, who finished on the line after Kolo Muani's brilliant run down the left set him up for a simple finish. Kolo Muani added further gloss to the scoreline late on after racing on to Jhon Lucumi's pass over the top. Polster again came rushing out for possession but got his timing all wrong, allowing the recently returned striker to walk the ball into the net. A match of firsts for dominant JuventusAfter suffering their first Serie A defeat of the season against Sassuolo last time out, in a game that saw Juventus concede three goals from the 65th minute onwards in the league for only the fourth time since 2000, Spalletti elected to make five changes to his team. Grabara made his debut, while Sarr and Woltemade were handed their first starts since joining on loan from Tottenham and Newcastle United, respectively, and they all played their part in the victory, along with fellow summer signing Alajbegovic. Aged 18 years and 361 days, Alajbegovic is only the second 18-year-old in history to score for Juventus in a major European competition, after Gianfranco Zigoni (18 years 311 days, against OFK Belgrade in the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, October 2, 1963).Spalletti will also be pleased to see Kolo Muani back among the goals after returning to the Bianconeri following a previous loan spell in 2025. The Juventus boss had said he wanted more from his number nine, and he certainly delivered with a goal and an assist off the bench. In what was their fourth appearance in major European competition, and their first since the UEFA Cup in 2008-09, NEC were simply outclassed, finishing with an expected goals (xG) total of 0.76 from their 11 shots, compared to Juventus' tally of 4.14 from the same number of attempts.
