David Alaba Inspires Bayern Munich To Juve Win

[Folami David]

David Alaba scored inside 30 seconds to set hosts Bayern Munich on the way to a 2-0 Champions League win over Juventus in their quarterfinal, first leg on Tuesday although it could have been much worse for the Italians.
.
Alaba's deflected 30-metre effort caught Juve goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon off guard and drifted into the bottom corner to hand the visitors a nightmare start as they suffered a first-half mauling.
.
Thomas Mueller added Bayern's second goal just after the hour in a meeting of the German an Italian league leaders after Buffon had trouble with a long- range effort from Luiz Gustavo.
.
"It was a good match but we are not through yet. We hardly allowed Juventus a chance and we had several good ones," Bayern's Philipp Lahm said.
.
Juventus playmaker Andrea Pirlo made several uncharacteristic mistakes as his overrun side lost their first European match for three years after an 18-match unbeaten run.
.
"We knew that we were playing a great team and we knew we were a decent side too but in the end they really deserved their victory," Buffon told Sky Italia.
.
"On the first goal one of our players, perhaps Vidal, closed the ball down, it touched him and I couldn't reach it. The ball took another trajectory and there wasn't a lot I could do."
.
Juve had won their last five games in the competition without conceding a goal but that record quickly fell.
.
Pirlo's attempted pass out of defence went straight to Bastian Schweinsteiger who found Alaba and the Austrian's speculative shot took a slight deflection off Arturo Vidal to leave Buffon out of position.
