JUVENTUS cruised to a comfortable 4-0 away victory in their Champions League Group H clash away at Dinamo Zagreb tonight.
Goals from Miralem Pjanic, Gonzalo Higuain, Paulo Bruno Dybala and Dani Alves ensured a comfortable night's work for Massimiliano Allegri's side.
Juventus went into the half-time break with a comfortable 2-0 lead courtesy of some lethal finishing.
The opener came from Bosnian Miralem Pjanic in the 24th minute.
Leonardo Bonucci's long-ball bounced off Dinamo defender Leonardo Sigali into the bath of Pjanic, who kept his cool to fire past goalkeeper Adrian Semper.
The second came from a likely source in the figure of £75million man Gonzalo Higuain.
Pjanic was involved again, his fine ball into the Argentine striker was chested down and then coolly volleyed beyond Semper and into the goal.
In truth Dinamo had contested the opening 45 minutes well. They were often relying on Junior Fernandes and El Arabi Hillel Soudani to get in behind, but the Juventus backline, marshalled by Giorgio Chiellini, held firm.
The closest the home side came to scoring was only two minutes after Pjanic's opener, when Gordon Schildenfeld's header from a free-kick crashed off the crossbar.
It didn't take the Italians to extend their lead still further in the second period, and in some style.
After a quiet evening up top, Paulo Bruno Dybala collected the ball some 30 yards out, and sent a thundering effort towards goal that beat Semper all ends up to put his team three goals to the good.
And some gloss was added to the scoreline five minutes from time when Dani Alves scored from a free-kick outside the penalty area after Dybala had been fouled.
