Andrea Favilli marked his Juventus debut with a couple of goals as the Italian champions beat German champions Bayern Munich 2-0 in the early hours of Thursday morning.

The 21-year-old, who signed from Ascoli last month, slotted home twice in the space of eight first-half minutes to settle the International Champions Cup clash.

Without the services of record signing Cristiano Ronaldo, Juve remained firm in the second 45 to kick off their pre-season campaign in winning style.

Favilli was almost up and running inside the opening three minutes, only for Sven Ulreich to produce a good save when the youngster was played through.

Bayern also looked lively early on, with Marcel Zylla forcing Mattia Perin into a smart stop on his debut, and the Italian keeper also did well to deny Serge Gnabry moments later.

Alex Sandro then picked out the side-netting from a good position, but Juventus did take the lead shortly after the half-hour mark through Favilli's impressive finish following a Bayern error in midfield.

Favilli rounded off another move before the interval to give the Serie A giants some breathing space, and the second half was all about keeping out the opposition.

A chance went begging for Kwasi Okyere Wriedt, who was denied by Perin, before Jeong Woo-yeong fired wide from the rebound.

Bayern struggled to test Perin or replacement Carlo Pinsoglio from that point on, however, meaning a positive start to pre-season for Juventus.
