Published on: 15 September 2021

Ghanaian forward Malik Abubakari climbed off the bench to play the final 30 minutes of the match between Malmo and Juventus in the UEFA Champions League Group H opener. 

A first half rampage from the Old Ladies condemned the hosts to a 3-0 defeat in front of their fans at the Eleda Stadion.

Juventus opened the scoring after 23 minute through wing back Alex Sandro, before two quick fire goals right at the stroke of half time put the game beyond Malmo.

Paulo Dybala scored from the spot on 45 minutes before Alvaro Morata added his a minute later.

Malik Abubakari replaced Veljko Birmacevic in the 59th minute as the Swedish giants held their forth and created chances, but could not just get a consolation.

The Ghanaian attacker joined Malmo in the summer transfer window from Moreirense.

He has scored two goals in seven Swedish Allsevnskan games.
