Kenan Yildiz scores twice in Juventus' 4-1 win in Club World Cup
PHILADELPHIA — Kenan Yildiz scored two goals in Juventus' 4-1 win over Wydad in the Club World Cup on Sunday. The victory clinched a spot in the elimination round of the tournament for Juventus. In the sixth minute, Juventus took the lead as defender Abdelmounaim Boutouil deflected a shot attempt by Yildiz into the back of Wydad's net. Ten minutes later, Yildiz showed up again in front of the 31,975 fans in Lincoln Financial Field, less than half the stadium's capacity, to double Juventus' lead with a powerful volley into the top right corner. Wydad made it 2-1 in the 25th minute after a pass from team captain Nordin Amrabat left Thembinkosi Lorch one-on-one with Michele Di Gregorio, who wasn't able to stop Lorch's chip shot. Following the goal, the referee paused the match after Wydad's supporters threw three flares onto the field and set off red and black smoke in the stands that affected visibility on the field. The four-minute pause also served as a hydration break for the players as temperatures in Philadelphia reached 89 degrees in the first half. With his second goal of the game, Yildiz secured the win for Juventus in the 69th minute after an assist by Randal Kolo Muani. In stoppage time, Dusan Vlahovic added a goal after converting a penalty kick. Vlahovic's score in the 94th minute was key to make Juventus' goal differential better ahead of a tough match against Manchester City for the lead in Group G. Juventus is through to the round of 16 of the Club World Cup. They will play Manchester City next Thursday to determine the leader of Group G. With the loss, Wydad is eliminated from the tournament. They will face Al Ain in a battle for third place in the group. 'Before the game started, I said to (Yildiz), 'Just go and do your thing. Get on the ball, create opportunities,' and that's what he does. I would hate to be playing against him if I was the opposition.' — Juventus defender Lloyd Kelly. 'We got a lot of good things out of the matches. We played against really strong teams. It also is a very different game at the highest level, and we still have one more game left to win.' — Wydad defender Guilherme Ferreira. ___ AP soccer:

Jamal Musiala back at training for Bayern Munich at Club World Cup after injury scare
Associated Press ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Star German midfielder Jamal Musiala is back training with Bayern Munich on Sunday after he went off only 25 minutes after entering Friday night's Club World Cup match for Bayern Munich and was substituted by national team veteran Thomas Muller in the 82nd minute. Musiala came on in the 57th minute against Boca Juniors. Originally, the concern was that Musiala might have sustained an injury, with coach Vincent Kompany saying after the game 'he wanted to talk to the doctors first.' The 22 year-old had been recovering from a torn hamstring during the Bundesliga season. Musiala had not played since April and returned to Bayern training on May 7. Bayern and German national team coach Julian Nagelsmann decided not to select him to the squad during the UEFA Nations League semifinals in late May. Musiala has already had a hat trick in this Club World Cup, in Bayern's first game rout of Auckland City FC. ___ AP soccer: recommended in this topic
