Borussia Dortmund 1-3 Juventus
Sunday's rearranged fixture saw Juventus defeat hosts BVB with little difficulty. Amauri managed the first before Iaquinta added a second half double; only a Kruska penalty could give the hosts something to cheer.
Juventus continued their pre-season preparations with a highly impressive 3-1 win at Westfalenstadion, with Christian Poulsen shining on his debut with a magnificent assist.
Claudio Ranieri employed a strikeforce of Amauri and David Trezeguet, while Chiellini, Camoranesi and Sissoko made their seasonal debuts.
Within five minutes Juve were ahead, as Grygera and Camoranesi linked up well, allowing Amauri to steer the ball home.
The Old Lady controlled the game and Trezeguet, Nedved and Sissoko all had attempts in the first half, with Buffon only forced into one save.
Into the second half and Ranieri immediately made wholesale changes, introducing Zebina, Legrottaglie, Knezevic (for his debut), Marchionni, Ekdal, Del Piero and Iaquinta. The former Udinese man continued his fine start to pre-season by heading home a perfect cross by Nedved on 51 minutes to make it 2-0.
Iaquinta missed a one-on-one to score his second, before he did indeed find the back of the net with the goal of the game. Poulsen, on as a substitute to make his debut, executed a brilliant 40 yard pass over the defence, and Iaquinta controlled the ball and lobbed over the keeper.
Dortmund pulled a goal back on 78 minutes through Kruska’s penalty kick, but all in all it had been an excellent victory for Juventus.
On Tuesday Juve take part in the Trofeo TIM with Inter and Milan, and next weekend they travel to London for the Emirates Cup with Real Madrid, Hamburg and hosts Arsenal.

I'd call it revenge for 96/97 but it really isn't :( :ninja
The title is misleading seeing as he only came on as a sub and got an assist. Doesn't really say how he played apart from that.
