Alex
Sandro
was
the
unlikely
scorer
of
the
opening
goal
before
Dybala
added
a
second
from
the
penalty
spot
after
a
foul
on
Morata,
who
netted
a
third
on
the
stroke
of
half-time.

Substitute
Moise
Kean
rounded
Ismael
Diawara
in
the
second
half,
only
for
Juve
to
be
denied
a
fourth
goal
by
the
offside
flag
as
Malmo
struggled
in
their
first
group-stage
appearance
since
2015-16.

Massimiliano
Allegri,
who
led
Juve
to
the
final
in
2014-15
and
again
two
seasons
later,
may
be
winless
so
far
in
Serie
A
on
his
return
to
Turin
but
his
side
started
their
continental
campaign
impressively.

Dybala
spurned
a
glorious
early
opportunity
as
he
slipped
and
wastefully
fired
over
when
through
one-on-one
with
Diawara
before
Soren
Rieks
volleyed
narrowly
over
for
Malmo.

The
hosts
looked
bright,
but
it
was
Alex
Sandro
who
broke
the
deadlock
after
23
minutes
with
a
diving
header
into
the
bottom-left
corner
after
Juan
Cuadrado’s
delivery
clipped
Rodrigo
Bentancur
and
found
the
left-back.

Alex
Sandro
should
have
doubled
his
account
but
angled
wide
before
Dybala
rolled
his
spot-kick
down
the
middle
following
Lasse
Nielsen’s
drag
down
on
Morata
in
the
final
minutes
of
the
half.

Morata
joined
in
on
the
act
moments
later,
the
Spain
forward
racing
through
before
fortuitously
chipping
over
the
incoming
Diawara
as
Juve
scored
three
first-half
Champions
League
goals
for
the
first
time
since
2012.

After
the
break,
Morata
searched
for
a
second
but
could
only
power
wide
before
seeing
his
left-footed
drive
denied
by
Diawara’s
smart
reflex
save
after
Dybala’s
intelligent
flick-on.

Kean,
who
was
slotted
in
by
fellow
substitute
Weston
McKennie,
thought
he
had
scored
a
fourth
but
was
offside
as
Juve
coasted
towards
their
first
win
and
the
final
whistle
at
the
Eleda
Stadion.
