📍Philadelphia | June 22, 2025
In a fiery Group G encounter at Lincoln Financial Field, Juventus sent a strong message to the rest of the competition with a thunderous 4-1 win over Moroccan champions Wydad AC, lighting up the FIFA Club World Cup 2025.
Rising star Kenan Yildiz put in a world-class display, scoring twice and playing a hand in an early own goal — a performance that has firmly established him as one of Europe’s brightest attacking talents.
🧨 First-Half Fireworks
The match began with a bang as Yildiz’s sixth-minute strike deflected off Wydad defender Abdelmounaim Boutouil, sending the ball spiraling into his own net. The Moroccan side barely had time to regroup when Yildiz unleashed a long-range rocket into the top corner in the 16th minute — a goal that had fans off their seats.
⚔️ Wydad’s Moment of Magic
Despite being two goals down, Wydad AC showed flashes of brilliance. South African playmaker Thembinkosi Lorch pulled one back in the 25th minute with an exquisite chip over Juventus keeper Michele Di Gregorio, showcasing calm under pressure.
🦓 Juventus Takes Control
Juventus, however, had no intention of slowing down. With clinical passing and relentless pressure, they reasserted dominance in the second half. Kenan Yildiz struck again in the 69th minute, scoring his 11th goal of the season and solidifying his man-of-the-match status. The final nail came in the 83rd minute when substitute Fabio Miretti curled in a finesse shot from outside the box.
