Juventus thrash NEC, Bournemouth beat Real Sociedad — Dawn
In Italy, Juventus thrashed Dutch side NEC Nijmegen 5-0 in a Europa League match, while Bournemouth won 2-1 against Real Sociedad in San Sebastian in their first European match. Dawn reported the results of the September 17 matches.
Five goals for Juventus
The Italian club scored three times against NEC before the break, with Nico Gonzalez, Kerim Alajbegovic and Nick Woltemade finding the net. It was Woltemade's first goal since joining on loan from Newcastle United. In the second half, Zeki Celik and Randal Kolo Muani extended the hosts' lead.
The report notes that Juventus did not qualify for the Champions League last season. Their Europa League campaign gives the club an opportunity to end a 30-year wait for a continental trophy.
Bournemouth's debut
Bournemouth took the lead within the first 20 minutes of their match against Real Sociedad. Justin Kluivert opened the scoring, while Ryan headed in at the far post. Sergio Gomez brought the Spanish team back into the game when his cross flew into the far corner of the net, but the English club held on for the win.
