In the 26th minute, Matheus Nunes ran up the right wing after an overlapping situation, before making a cross inside. When the Portuguese player expressed his disappointment at not seeing any teammate cutting in to finish, Pierre Kalulu, a Juventus player, unexpectedly put his foot into the net of the Serie A representative, to the astonishment of fans and opponents.
Nunes' cross was not dangerous. The ball was soft and Kalulu was not under any pressure before scoring a fantastic own goal.

Kalulu scored the goal for his team. |
"Investigate this guy immediately," one fan commented. "I thought I was watching a grassroots match," said a second. "Is this the top football that FIFA wants to create?", another fan sarcastically said.
Kalulu's own goal kicked off Juventus' nightmare against Man City. After letting their Premier League opponents take a 2-1 lead before half-time, the Italians conceded three more goals in the second half. The only thing the Bianconeri could do was reduce the deficit to 2-5 through Dusan Vlahovic.
This result does not affect Juventus' ticket to the next round. They are ranked 2nd in Group G, behind Man City and will meet the team that won Group H in the round of 16. The opponents of Man City and Juventus will be revealed after Group H ends at 10am this morning (June 27).
