Juventus too strong for Al Ain
Washington, D.C: Randal Kolo Muani and Francisco Conceicao both bagged braces as Juventus cruised past Al Ain 5-0 on Wednesday in their FIFA Club World Cup opener on Wednesday.
The Italian giants surged to the top of Group G above Manchester City, who beat Wydad AC earlier on.

Kolo Muani, who extended his loan from Paris Saint-Germain to play in the tournament, 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.

Kolo 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.
