0-1: A Tragedy in Turin..



RC Deportivo La Coruna inflicted a painful revenge for Juventus FC knocking them out of last season's UEFA Champions League by defeating the 2003 runners-up in both legs of their first knockout round encounter to advance to the quarter-finals. Deportivo's first-ever success in Turin came courtesy of Walter Pandiani's first-half goal and a magnificently competitive display of man-marking and tight defending in the home of catenaccio.

Del Piero injured
Already hampered by the absence of six potentially first-choice players through injury or suspension, it took only six minutes for Del Piero to limp off with an injury to his right leg. Until that point it had been curious to watch Marcello Lippi's drastically adjusted formation with Nicola Legrottaglie playing as the man marker on Juan Carlos Valer?n in front of a three-man defence.

The Match:
0 - JUVENTUS: Buffon; Thuram, Ferrara, Montero, Legrottaglie (Pessotto, 46'); Camoranesi (Chiumento, 70'), Tacchinardi, Appiah; Nedved; Del Piero (Miccoli, 6'), Di Viao.
1 - Deportivo: Molina; Scaloni, Andrade, Naybet, Capdevila; Mauro Silva, Sergio; Victor, Valeron (Duscher, 77') , Luque (Fran, 62'); Pandiani (Tristan, 82').
The Goals:
0-1 min 12: The Uruguayan striker Pandiani gets in behind his compatriot Montero before slotting coolly past Gianluigi Buffon with his left foot. That all came from a harmless-looking long ball from Jose Molina.
Calls: Yellow cards on Tacchinardi, Ferrara and Montero for Juventus and Mauro silva and Victor for Deportivo.
