Juve start to take charge of the game after a bright start by the visiting side with Andrea Pirlo beginning to fling a few passes around, though on this occasion he's disposssed by Beram KayalPhotograph: Claudio Villa/Getty ImagesMidway through the first half the tie is definitely dead and buried after Alessandro Matri opens the scoring with an easy tap in. Gary Hooper dwells on the ball and is dispossessed by Arturo Vidal, who evades a couple of challenges, maybe 40 yards from goal and slips a low ball inside Adam Matthews and outside Kelvin Wilson for Fabio Quagliarella, wide on the left. He fires in a low shot that zips between Wilson's legs, which Fraser Forster can only palm out a yard, to where Matri is waiting Photograph: Claudio Villa/Getty ImagesHe's well pleased as are the Juventus fansPhotograph: Giuseppe Cacace/AFP/Getty ImagesAdam Matthews sets off upfield but Federico Peluso fouls him and consequently finds himself in the ref's bookPhotograph: Nick Potts/PAMatthews doesn't take kindly to Peluso's methodsPhotograph: Nick Potts/PAJuventus's Arturo Vidal and Celtic's Joe Ledley go shoulder to shoulderPhotograph: Massimo Pinca/APGood news grapple fans, Juve's first leg tactics are back for the second leg as Celtic's Kelvin Wilson finds out as he's marked by Federico PelusoPhotograph: Nick Potts/PAJust after the hour mark Pirlo fires a pinpoint pass to Vidal, who's piling in on top of Kayal and suddenly in front of goal.
