Match Summary
Real Madrid secured a narrow 1-0 win over Juventus in the Round of 16 at the FIFA Club World Cup. Gonzalo García scored the only goal of the match in the 54th minute with a well-placed header from a Trent Alexander-Arnold cross.
Juventus started with early pressure and nearly took the lead through Kolo Muani, who fired just over the bar in the seventh minute. Real Madrid gradually settled into possession and began to dictate the rhythm of the match.
The breakthrough came in the second half as Alexander-Arnold, who was active throughout the game, found García in the box with a perfect delivery. Juventus made attacking changes, including bringing on Mbappé in the 68th minute, but the Spanish side remained solid at the back.
Michele Di Gregorio was a standout performer for Juventus, making several critical saves to prevent a wider scoreline. However, Juventus lacked cutting edge in the final third and failed to trouble Real Madrid’s goalkeeper in the closing stages.
