Cristiano Ronaldo scored an away goal for Juventus as she clinched the first leg of her Champions League quarter-final against Ajax.
Ronaldo, who has won the competition five times, scored his 125th goal just before half-time with a diving header from Joao Cancelo's center.
The goal came against the race, but the hosts equalized less than a minute after the start of the second half, thanks to David Neres' nice shot at 15-yard curling.
Jurgen Ekkelenkamp, of Ajax, had a chance to save the ball before Douglas Costa, Juventus's substitute, took the advantage.
But neither team was able to win the match and she will be back in Turin on Tuesday (April 16th).
The winners of the game will face Tottenham or Manchester City in the semi-finals, with Mauricio Pochettino's team retaining a 1-0 advantage after Tuesday's first leg in London.
