章 461: First Hattrick for Juventus

Half-time arrived after a few more minutes of gameplay, and the players of both teams returned to their respective dressing rooms. They were eager to get out of the rain and enjoy a few minutes of rest before returning to the pitch for the second half.

"That was an embarrassing performance," Age Hareide, the head coach of Malmö Fotbollförening, said after his players had taken their seats within the visiting team's dressing room. "We were like complete amateurs against Juventus in the first half."

"I am amazed and puzzled by how you all failed to stop a single player from scoring twice using almost the same run through the middle. I can accept the first goal, as that came as a surprise to me. Zachary was exceptional on the ball and easily cut through our entire midfield to score the first goal. But what I cannot accept is the second goal!"
