Nick Woltemade scored his third consecutive Europa League goal for Juventus, netting a penalty kick that secured a point against Stade Rennais. The Germany international, who has yet to play a Serie A match, featured in all three of Juventus' Europa League games so far. Rennes took an early lead through Zeki Celik, who converted a pass from Woltemade.
Rennes continued to dominate the first half, with Boulaye Dia and Nico Gonzalez scoring before halftime. Juventus fought back in the second half, with former Stuttgart striker Dia and Nico Gonzalez scoring again. Luciano Spalletti's side thought they had taken the lead late in the match, but Jhon Lucumi's goal was ruled offside by VAR.
Woltemade was a key player for Juventus in their Europa League campaign, and hopes to return to form after a successful transfer to Newcastle United. The Juventus side will face Lecce and Genoa away from home before hosting Napoli in Serie A when the new season begins in November. Meanwhile, in the Europa Conference League, Kevin Behrens scored his seventh goal of the season for Lugano in a 5-2 victory over Getafe.
The 35-year-old, who had been sidelined by an injury, netted the match's final goal in his third appearance back from injury. Behrens had previously scored six times in three qualifying ties during the preliminary round of the competition.
