Juventus triumph over Como 3-0 in Motta's debut

In their Serie A opener, Juventus secured a 3-0 victory against Como at the packed Allianz Stadium in Turin. This match marked coach Thiago Motta's official debut with the club.

Forward Samuel Mbangula put Juve in front in the 23rd minute with a solo effort, sending the ball into the bottom corner.

Juventus extended their lead in first-half stoppage time through winger Timothy Weah, who fired home a Kenan Yildiz cross and saw the ball bounce in off the inside of the bar, and Andrea Cambiaso added the third from a distance just before fulltime.

Juventus, who finished third behind champions Inter Milan and AC Milan last season to secure their return to the Champions League following a year's absence, next travel to Hellas Verona on Aug. 26.
