Saint Vincent, Italy - 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.
