Juventus net five in commanding CWC opener

Randal Kolo Muani and Francisco Conceição each scored two goals and Juventus closed out the first round of the group stage in the Club World Cup with a 5-0 win against Al Ain on Wednesday night.

The 36-time Italian champions opened the scoring at the 11th minute when a center from defender Alberto Costa assisted Kolo Muani's header in front of 18,161 fans, many of them wearing white and black-striped Juventus jerseys.

Ten minutes later, Conceição dribbled the ball inside the penalty box and made it 2-0.

Kenan Yildiz scored into the lower left corner in the 31st minute and Kolo Muani second goal four minutes into first-half stoppage time put Juventus up 4-0 at the half.

Conceição scored again from a center-field kick in the 58th minute.

Al Ain, from the United Arab Emirates, will face a tougher challenge against Group G favorites Manchester City in Atlanta on Sunday. Juventus currently sits first in the group by goal difference and will travel to Philadelphia to attempt to secure a spot in the next round against Wydad.
