Mario Mandzukic Buries Cristiano Ronaldo Pass to Give Juventus UCL Lead

Cristiano Ronaldo and Mario Mandzukic connected to put Juventus ahead in the 59th minute of the club's UEFA Champions League group stage match against Valencia on Tuesday.

Ronaldo did most of the heavy lifting. He dribbled past Valencia defender Gabriel Paulista fired a low pass across goal that only required a tap-in from Mandzukic. Granted, the Croatian deserves plenty of credit for staying onside and slipping through unmarked.

With Tuesday's 1-0 victory, Juventus are assured of a berth in the Champions League round of 16. They still need a result in the final matchday to guarantee themselves first place.

Elsewhere in the group, Manchester United defeated Young Boys after Marouane Fellani scored in the first minute of injury time. United trail Juve by two points heading into the last round of group stage fixtures.
