Juventus Crushes Wydad 4-1 with Kenan Yildiz Show and Secures Spot in Club World Cup

Juventus took another firm step towards qualifying for the Club World Cup quarterfinals by thrashing Wydad Casablanca 4-1 this Saturday, in a match valid for the second round of Group G. The great highlight of the night was Kenan Yildiz, author of two goals and a brilliant performance, which left the Italian fans and coaching staff excited about his evolution.
As early as the 12th minute, Yildiz started the play that resulted in an own goal by the Wydad defender. Shortly after, he extended the lead with a beautiful shot from outside the area. In the second half, the striker scored another one on a quick counter-attack, completing his hat-trick. The score was sealed by Dusan Vlahović, who converted a penalty in added time. Wydad still discounted with Yahia Attiyat Allah, but it was insufficient to threaten the Italian victory.
