Malik Abubakari features in Malmo's heavy UCL defeat to Juventus

Ghanaian forward Malik Abubakari climbed off the bench to play the final 30 minutes of the match between Malmo and Juventus in the UEFA Champions League Group H opener.

A first-half rampage by the Old Ladies condemned the hosts to a 3-0 defeat in front of their fans at the Eleda Stadion.

Juventus opened the scoring after 23 minutes through wing-back Alex Sandro, before two quickfire goals right at the stroke of halftime put the game beyond Malmo.

Paulo Dybala scored from the spot before Alvaro Morata added his a minute later.

Malik Abubakari replaced Veljko Birmacevic in the 59th minute as the Swedish giants held their fourth and created chances but could not just get a consolation.

The Ghanaian attacker joined Malmo in the summer transfer window from Moreirense.

He has scored two goals in seven Swedish Allsvenskan games.
