Juventus is about to have FIFA Club World Cup (CWC) Knock-Rondes after Kenan Yıldız has scored a brace to condemn Wydad AC into a 4-1 defeat on Lincoln Financial Field, leaving the Moroccan side of an early exit behind.
After he had admitted to Manchester City early in the 2-0 defeat, Wydad would have been desperately to make a better start in their second group change.
Unfortunately for the accusations of Amine Benhachem, Juventus' Yıldız had other ideas, because he played an instrumental role to give his team a lead of two goals in the opening of 20 minutes.
Firstly, the Turkey International exchanged a neat one-two with Khéphren Thuram, before he squeezed the ball in the nearby pole with the help of a deflection.
Yıldız then produced an unstoppable strike from the edge of the box, which is the ball in the top corner to get on the score sheet in back-to-back competitions.
To the honor of Wydad, they have called for a positive reaction to their bad start, while Thembinkosi Lorch returned home to cut Juventus' lead in two.
The 31-year-old showed great calmness to quietly lift the ball over Michele di Gregorio after he was sent on to goal by Nordin Amrabat's inch-Perfect by Pass.
While Juventus was still giving a narrow lead in the break, they made a determined start of the second period in an attempt to restore their pillows with two goals.
Andrea Cambiasso hit the woodwork after he had met a deep corner, shortly before Randal Kolo Muani pulled the ball inches wide from Lloyd Kelly's low cross.
After seeing his teammates coming close, the confident Yıldız took on his second and Juventus' third in Philadelphia.
The young person locked the smart pass of Kolo Muani and quietly cut back on his right foot to slide the ball into the far corner.
Dušan Vlahović sent a stop-time penalty after he had been brought down in the box, a considerable victory that Juventus moved to the top of Groep G, knowing that they will protect a top-two place if Al Ain Man City would not beat.
As far as Wydad is concerned, they already need Ain to achieve a shock victory to keep their vague last 16 hope alive.
