Friendlies: Juve conquer Denmark
Amauri and Vincenzo Iaquinta secured Juventus’ prestigious 2-1 European friendly victory away to Brondby.
The Turin giants are embarking on a tour of the continent to prepare for the Champions League preliminary round.
Gianluigi Buffon, Giorgio Chiellini and Momo Sissoko all made their seasonal debuts.
Amauri combined well with Iaquinta and the Brazilian broke the deadlock with a splendid header.
Just before half-time the 2006 World Cup winner also got on the scoresheet at the end of a solo effort to give Juventus a 2-0 lead in Denmark.
Coach Claudio Ranieri immediately introduced Zdenek Grygera, David Trezeguet and youth product Fausto Rossi for the second half.
The Frenchman was fielded as a lone striker supported by Pavel Nedved, Hasan Salihamidzic and Rossi in a new tactical experiment.
Brondby were fitter, though, and it showed in the long run, as with time they began to cause serious problems.
Katongo’s header thumped the crossbar and Williams struck the upright, while the Danes did get one back through Farnerud’s penalty.
Trezeguet could have made it 3-1, but his goal was ruled out by the offside flag.
The next friendly test is on Saturday with Germans Borussia Dortmund.
Juventus: Buffon (Chimenti); Zebina (Grygera), Legrottaglie (Chiellini), Mellberg (Ariaudo), Molinaro; Salihamidzic, Zanetti, Ekdal (Sissoko), Nedved (Esposito); Iaquinta (Trezeguet), Amauri (Rossi)
