Arturo Vidal scored a hat-trick, including two from the penalty spot, as Juventus relaunched their hopes of qualifying for the last 16 of the Champions League with a rousing 3-1 win over Copenhagen on Wednesday.

With Real Madrid securing first place in Group B after a 4-1 win at home to Galatasaray, Juventus replaced the Turks in second place on six points and now hold a two-point lead on both Galatasaray and Copenhagen.

Juventus, who advanced to the quarter-finals last season where they were ousted by eventual winner Bayern Munich, now just need a point away to Galatasaray in their final group game in a fortnight to go through.

Coach Antonio Conte had stated his dislike for having to rely on results from elsewhere, and was buoyed that Juve are now masters of their own destiny.

"Now, we're in a position to control our own future in the competition," Conte said after a game which Juve dominated throughout but also displayed lapses.

"We totally deserved the win but if we hadn't conceded a goal I would have been even happier," added Conte, whose side have not conceded in Italy's Serie A in five games.

"We made life difficult for ourselves at times but we got back on top of things with the second and third goals."

With Copenhagen now bottom on four points and eliminated, coach Stale Solbakken admits they will require a miracle against Real Madrid for the win that would help them secure a Europa League place.

"All we can hope is that Real Madrid give us a present in time for Christmas," said the Norwegian.

Sitting bottom of the group with no wins from four games, Juve ideally required a win to relaunch what has been an uninspiring campaign, and after being frustrated on their way to a 1-1 draw in Copenhagen the Italian champions did not disappoint.

Having dominated Solbakken's men from the outset, Juve sighted an opening just before the half hour Swedish referee Jonas Eriksson pointed to the spot for a blatant handball by Copenhagen captain Lars Jacobsen as Pogba looked to collect Pirlo's flighted cross.

Vidal made no mistake from the spot, beating Johan Wiland to the keeper's right hand side.

Juve looked dangerous for the remainder of the half but were in panic two minutes after the restart when a loose ball ricocheted close to goal before being cleared.

Copenhagen had evidently emerged with more purpose and were soon level but before then the Asamoah-Llorente-Tevez trident threatened again before the Argentinian fired over.

An Asamoah shot from the left was then tipped on by Llorente into path of Vidal, but the Chilean could not get purchase and his effort crawled over the bar.

A minute later, Copenhagen caught the Italian champions unawares after a throw-in from the right, Olaf Mellberg -- formerly of Aston Villa and Juventus -- slammed a loose ball past Gianluigi Buffon after Giorgio Chiellini and Llorente had blundered while rising for the ball.

Fears of an upset were allayed barely five minutes later when Llorente won a penalty, holding up the ball and being fouled by Mellberg. Vidal stepped up to beat Wiland for the second time to restore Juve's advantage.

Juventus virtually ended all hopes of a fightback by the Danes only two minutes later when Vidal timed his jump perfectly to meet Pogba's floated cross from the left to head past Wiland at the keeper's far post.

Minutes later, however, Youssef Toutouh forced Buffon down low to block at his near post with an angled strike and then another penalty box mix-up caused panic among Juve's defence before second-half substitute Claudio Marchisio cleared.

Juventus, however, dominated the remainder of the game with Pogba spurning a chance at the death to get his name on the scoresheet after skewing Pirlo's delivery wide from 20 metres.
