Their friendly against South China AA showed that they are still finding their form, as they struggled in the early phases.

In fact the Italians went under by a goal as early as the 21', when Chian Siu Ki took advantage of a blooper by goalkeeper Neto.

Only five minutes later, central defender Benatia slotted in a free kick delivered into the danger zone by Miralem Pjanic.

The game could have cruised to a comfortable 1-1 finish, but youngster Rosseti, who came in at the beginning of the second half, took the Bianconeri up at the 82'. A shot by Stefano Padovan was not captured by South China goalkeeper Cristian Mora, and the 21-year-old Italian managed to kick it in on the rebound.

It ended 2-1, with Juventus winning although not truly glowing.
