Juventus took charge of their Champions League Group D fate by brushing Bayer Leverkusen in Turin aside.
On a night when Atletico Madrid won 2-0 away at Lokomotiv Moscow, Juve joined the Spanish side near the top of the table on four factors.
Gonzalo Higuain pounced using Federico Bernardeschi, on the mistake to fire in the first of Jonathan Tah.
Cristiano Ronaldo hurried through to find on the late.
For a time, this was a herculean affair after Higuains 17th-minute opener in the span from the first half.
Tah failed to deal with a ball from the right, heading it in Higuains route, with the Argentine before creating a clinical finish, carrying one touch.
Leverkusen, who lost captain Lars Bender in the warm-up, had plenty of the ball, however, lacked the guile to unlock the Juve defence that is solid.
And, when the hosts had the ability to counter, the side suffered bouts of panic at the trunk, not helped by the eccentricities of goalkeeper Lukas Hradecky.
Hradecky played his role Juventus moved through the gears since they did invigorating the house audience to keep his side in it.
By smothering a effort whenever the Portuguese was left in the box, the Leverkusen keeper denied Ronaldo , initially using a low save into a shot from 12 metres out.
In between, however, Hradecky was helpless to prevent the instant being netted by Bernardeschi.
After good play involving Higuain and Ronaldo, Ronaldo failed to connect for Bernardeschi, just with a cut-back in the byeline to arrive him behind and effectively end the competition.
Wales midfielder Aaron Ramsey came as a substitute before Leverkusens last opportunity, when Paulinhos lob went over onrushing Juve keeper Wojciech Szczesny, but also.
It looked like Ronaldo would finish the night frustrated, only for the frontman to locate space between Leverkusen defenders, completing through Hradeckys legs and latching on to a through ball.
