Italian giants Juventus made a powerful statement in their opening match of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, demolishing UAE's Al Ain 5-0 at Audi Field in Washington on Thursday. The emphatic victory in Group 7 sends a strong warning to tournament favorites, including group rivals Manchester City and Wydad Casablanca.

Match Highlights:

• 11': French striker Kolo Muani opens scoring

• 21': Portuguese winger Conceição doubles lead

• 31': Turkish talent Kenan Yıldız adds spectacular third

• 45': Muani nets fourth before halftime

• 58': Conceição completes the rout with fifth goal

The "Old Lady" completely dominated proceedings, taking a commanding 4-0 lead into halftime before managing the tempo in the second half. This convincing win puts Juventus atop Group 7 on goal difference ahead of Manchester City, who defeated Wydad Casablanca 2-0 on Tuesday.
