Cristiano Ronaldo did waste much time in scoring on his Juventus debut. 

The striker, who joined the Serie A champions from Real Madrid this summer, did not disappoint against Juve's Primeravera youths. He opened his account with a typically emphatic finish after just eight minutes on the field. 

The Portugal striker was finally introduced to fans in Sunday's friendly against the club's Primavera side. The match is a traditional curtain-raiser in Turin, and gives potential first teamers the chance to test themselves against Juve's young hopefuls, according to GOAL.

Ronaldo latched on to Federico Bernadeschi's long pass and found himself free in front of goal. He blasted the ball into the roof of the net to put his team 1-0 up.  

The match, however, was cut short after fans stormed the ground to mob Ronaldo. 

Juventus' seniors took a commanding lead at the break courtesy an own goal and a quick-fire brace from Paulo Dybala.

As Ronaldo was brought off at half-time one fan ran on to the pitch and locked him in a hug which required the help of two stewards to get out of.

Claudio Marchisio scored the fifth goal for Juventus A. However minutes later a huge swarm of fans invaded the pitch. The pitch invasion is an annual tradition in the game between Juventus A and Juventus B. The game was subsequently stopped after 70 minutes.
