Juventus beats Al Ain, leapfrogs Manchester City in group standings
Agencies: Randal Kolo Muani and Francisco Conceicao both bagged braces as Juventus hammered Al Ain 5-0 on Wednesday in their Club World Cup opener in Washington. Muani, who extended his loan from Paris Saint-Germain to play in the tournament in the US, opened the scoring after 11 minutes with a towering header from Alberto Costa's cross. Igor Tudor's Juventus doubled the lead 10 minutes later when Conceicao, on loan from Porto, skipped away from one defender in the box before firing home with the help of a deflection. Turkish forward Kenan Yildiz netted the third after 31 minutes, carving out some space on the edge of the box and drilling in at the near post. French striker Kolo Muani grabbed his second with a deft finish in first-half stoppage time to pile on the misery for Al Ain. Kouame Autonne had a goal disallowed for offside for the UAE side before Conceicao struck again, benefitting from another slight deflection. Muani might have completed his hat-trick when sent through but goalkeeper Rui Patricio shut him down well, and Douglas Luiz blasted narrowly off-target late on. Juventus, which finished fourth in Serie A, us hoping to make up for a trophyless season with success in the United States this summer. (dpa)

Kolo Muani scores another brace as Juventus strike late to beat Como
COMO, Italy (AP) — Kolo Muani's penalty in the 89th minute sent Juventus past Como 2-1 in an unconvincing Serie A win on Friday. Muani, on loan from Paris Saint-Germain, scored twice for the second game in a row. He fired into the roof of the net from a tight angle in the 34th minute but Cesc Fabregas' Como drew level on the stroke of halftime. Patrick Cutrone did well to dispossess Teun Koopmeiners on the left and Assane Diao made no mistake in heading home his cross. Muani gave the visitors all three points with a penalty after Jean Butez handled. He's scored five times in three games. The win lifted Juventus to fourth, a point above Lazio and Fiorentina, both of whom have a game in hand. Lazio play bottom club Monza on Sunday, while Fiorentina take on second-placed Inter Milan on Monday. The loss was the third in a row for Como, which was 15th, just two points above the relegation zone.
