Watch: Juventus winger Zhegrova scores first goal since 2024

September 14, 2026 - 04:01

Edon Zhegrova found the back of the net for Juventus on Sunday evening, marking his first goal for the Italian club and his first in any competitive match since November 2024, when he was still playing for Lille.

The Kosovar winger entered the match around the hour mark and needed little time to make an impact. His goal ended a long stretch without scoring that had followed him through a transfer and into his early months in Turin.

Zhegrova joined Juventus with a reputation for pace and directness on the right flank. Injuries and limited minutes had kept him from producing the kind of output that convinced the club to bring him in. That changed on Sunday, when he latched onto a chance inside the box and finished with composure.

The goal matters for more than the scoreline. For a player who has struggled to stay fit and earn consistent playing time, getting off the mark can shift momentum. Juventus have been searching for extra creativity in wide areas, and Zhegrova's return to form could give the squad another option as the season moves forward.

His celebration suggested relief as much as joy. After nearly a year without a goal, the wait is over.
