Juventus overcame a difficult challenge as he defeated Moroccan side Widad 4-1 this afternoon, but qualified for the knockout stage of the Club World Cup. A phenomenal strike from Juve Starlet Kenan Yildiz was a bundle of picks as the Turkish winger won the brace on a chaotic Sunday afternoon in Philadelphia.
As a result, Juventus will move the group’s top with six points ahead of the match against Manchester City’s Al Ain later today. Aside from Al Ain’s shocking victory, Bianconeri qualifies for the knockout stage. The top spot is the only one to be decided in the final match against Manchester City.
Relax all the action on a live blog.
Juventus controlled Abdelmoorm Boutuil’s goal early and scored in just six minutes.
Bianconeri almost doubled in the moment of Reed as he whipped Randall Koro Muani with a dangerous cross that slightly missed Randall Koro Muani in the box. Wydad responded intentionally, and Samuel Obeng had a decent chance after the uproar of Weston McKennie and Andrea Cambiaso, but his finish had no power and was easily saved by Michele di Gregorio.
Juventus extended the lead to 16 minutes and extended the lead with a real quality moment from Yıldız.
Despite two goals down, Widad showed resilience. Guilherme went nearby with a header that forced another good save from Di Gregorio, and Bart Meijers picked up the yellow card when Juventus threatened him at the counter.
Wydad finally found his way in the 25th minute when Nordin Amrabat did something fun through a pass on the path of Roach.
Juventus will finish the match in the second half
Juventus began his second half strength and dominated Widad for the opening 10 minutes before Andrea Cambiazo hit the post with a close-range volley.
Bianconeri’s dominance was ultimately rewarded when Koro Mooani and Yildiz linked in the 69th minute, allowing the Turkish starlet to pass the goalkeeper and slot the ball into the lower right corner.
With a goal, Widad lost a part of their spirit, but all credit goes to Moroccan fans.
Wydad nearly pulled another goal back to stop time as Mohamed Moufid’s efforts were sparingly saved by Di Gregorio in a Juventus goal.
Juventus closed the game at the closing moment, with Wydad defender Gilharme pulling Dusan Vlahovic down to the box. The Serbs stepped up to convert the spotkick confidently, and the old lady wrapped the victory confidently in Philadelphia.
