SAINT VINCENT, Italy (July 19, 1999 4:52 p.m. EDT
http://www.sportserver.com) - Italy striker Alessandro Del
Piero scored on his comeback for Juventus on
Monday after being sidelined for eight months with a
knee injury.
Del Piero hit the second goal as a makeshift Juventus, training in
the Italian Alps before the start of the serie A season, beat a local
team 2-0.
The nimble striker had not played since he tore ligaments in his left
knee during a league match on November 8.
