导出博客文章TURIN, Italy -- Gonzalo Higuain showed his best and worst sides as Juventus was
held to a 1-1 draw against Lyon on Wednesday, with the Italian hosts missing the
chance to ensure qualification for the Champions League knockout stage with two
matches to spare.Higuain netted a penalty in the 13th minute but missed an open
goal shortly before halftime. Juventus looked on course for the win but Corentin
Tolisso leveled six minutes from time.It was the first goal Juventus has
conceded in this seasons competition.Juventus slipped to second in Group H, two
points behind Sevilla -- which beat Dinamo Zagreb 4-0 -- and four points above
Lyon. Juventus visits Seville on Nov. 22, having drawn 0-0 at home to the
Spanish side in September, and coach Massimiliano Allegri believes his side can
still snatch top spot.It was important to win at home to mathematically qualify
but in the Champions League you need a bit of luck, Allegri said. Were still in
the fight for first place, so I think Juventus is on the right path in the
Champions League as well as domestically.It would have been ideal to qualify
tonight but maybe then in the end we would have gone to Sevilla tired and would
have lost first place.Lyon can sneak into the last 16 if it wins its final two
group games and results elsewhere go its way.Im happy about the goal because it
gives us a small chance of qualification, Tolisso said. Now we have to try and
beat Zagreb and hope that Juventus beats Sevilla and then that will set us up
for our final group game at home to Sevilla.Juventus showed its attacking intent
from the start, playing with a 4-3-1-2 formation, as Miralem Pjanics effort was
hooked off the line by Mouctar Diakhaby -- although the Juventus player was
harshly flagged offside.Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon was making his
100th Champions League appearance and he was called into an early save to deny
Maciej Rybus.At the other end Anthony Lopes also pulled off a great stop to keep
out Mario Mandzukics powerful strike.Juventus took the lead minutes later.
Higuain burst down the left flank and threaded the ball through for Stefano
Sturaro, who was barged over by Diakhaby.Higuain converted into the bottom left
corner for his ninth goal for Juventus, since moving from Napoli in the
offseason for an Italian record fee.It was also the Argentina forwards 100th
goal for Italian clubs.Claudio Marchisio was making his first Champions League
appearance since February, having spent six months out with a cruciate ligament
injury, and he almost scored his first goal since his return but fired narrowly
wide of the left post for Juventus.Higuain should have doubled his tally after
Mandzukic burst forward into the area and unselfishly rolled the ball across the
box but the Argentine blazed over an open goal from 15 yards (meters) out.His
side was nearly made to pay immediately for his miss as Rachid Ghezzal
controlled a throw in and shrugged off a couple of challenges but fired just the
wrong side of the right-hand post.Lyon upped the pressure in the second half but
never really tested Buffon, although the Italy goalkeeper was prevented from
keeping his 43rd clean sheet in the competition when Tolisso headed in Ghezzals
free kick.
