Juventus beaten 2-0 by Bordeaux

Juventus need a point at home to Bayern Munich in a fortnight's time to qualify from Champions League Group A after they were beaten 2-0 by Bordeaux.

The Italians struggled throughout against the French champions, who sealed top spot in the group in front of their own fans at the Chaban Delmas.
Bordeaux dominated an uneventful first half but two headed goals from set pieces after the break won the game and left Ciro Ferrara's men facing a crunch tie at the Stadio Delle Alpi on December 8.
Juve offered little going forward while always looking vulnerable from set pieces and were undone by headers from Fernando and the highly-rated Moroccan striker Marouane Chamakh.
A poor first half was punctuated only by a Giorgio Chiellini header that looped over the crossbar and a good chance for Chamakh, who sublimely brought a through ball under his spell before being smothered by an onrushing Gianluigi Buffon.
It was much the same early in the second half until, with 55 minutes on the clock, Fernando leapt brilliantly at the near post to flick home Jaroslav Plasil's free kick from the left. The French crowd went wild and the stadium was temporarily shrouded in smoke from the celebratory flares.

Juventus worked their way back into the game through a series of corners and free kicks but made very little in open play other than a shocking miss from Diego 10 minutes after they fell behind.
When the otherwise-anonymous Alessandro Del Piero worked it neatly down the right, his cross seemed destined to be stroked in from four yards but the Brazilian contrived only to scuff his effort wide and beyond the stretch of waiting compatriot Amauri.
And it was the home side that finished the stronger, with the impressive Chamakh heading home a corner at the near post with virtually the last touch of the game to send the majority of the crowd home happy.
