Juventus Turin easily dominated the Wydad Casablanca 4-1, Sunday in Philadelphia, thanks to a very good performance by Kenan Yildiz, author of a double, a wide success which allows it to qualify for the knockout stages of the Club World Cup.
After having crushed Al Ain (5-0), Juve did the essentials and also took advantage of Manchester City’s without appeal victory against the Emirati team, on the night of Sunday to Monday (6-0), to afford a ticket for the next round.
The “Old lady”without beating up his talent beyond, was able to count on Yildiz, in all the right shots, to make the difference.
Already at the origin of the opening of the scoring against his camp of the unfortunate Abdelmounaim Boutouil (6th), the Turkish N.10 was distinguished by a masterful strike (16th) before playing quietly from the Moroccan defense following a beautiful service of Randal Kolo Muani (69th), carrying his total in the three -achievement tournament.
Dusan Vlaovic scored a fourth goal on penalty at the end of the game (90th+4).
Bad choice
But the performance of Igor Tudor players was not always clear and they fell asleep once their advance has been acquired, multiplying bad choices and imprecise passes. This was able to benefit from the Wydad by reducing the brand through the South African Thembinkosi Lorch, well launched by Nordin Amrabat, still alert at 38 years (25th).
The show was rather in the stands of Lincoln Financial Field that the Wydad supporters ignited by crapping smoke bombs, under the amazed eyes of American spectators, little used to the use of pyrotechnic devices in their stadiums.
If Andrea Cambiasso found the post in the second half (57th), Randal Kolo Munani delivered a mixed service. After his double against Al Ain, the French striker struggled to win, even missing an unmissable opportunity after the break (61st). RKM, loaned by PSG and whose future is still uncertain, however caught up with its assist for Yildiz and can already project itself towards the knockout stages with its teammates.
