for a critical clash on Thursday to decide the group&#8217;s top seed.

The match started favorably for the Italian side when Wydad AC inadvertently scored an own goal just six minutes in. Kennan Juld opened his account by netting two goals, one in the 16th minute and another in the 69th. Wydad AC&#8217;s Thembinkosi Lorch scored to prevent a clean sheet for Juventus in the 25th minute. The Italian giants capped off their win with a penalty from Dushan Vlahovic in injury time. Following this match, both Juventus and Manchester City progressed to the knockout stage, vying for the top position in Group G on Thursday.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"heading\" data-jump-link-target=\"\" id=\"real-madrid-3-pachuca-1\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Real_Madrid_3_Pachuca_1\"><\/span><strong>Real Madrid 3, Pachuca 1<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Real Madrid took the lead against Pachuca, even after defender Raul Asensio received a red card early on for a reckless challenge on Pachuca&#8217;s star striker, Salomon London. Pachuca initially had the upper hand, but Jude Bellingham leveled the score with a goal in the 35th minute, and midfielder Alda Guller gave them the lead 10 minutes later. Despite Pachuca&#8217;s attempts throughout the second half, Real Madrid added another goal from Federico Valverde in the 70th minute. Pachuca finally scored through 19-year-old Elias Montiel, but it wasn\u2019t enough, as they were eliminated after a tough battle against a dwindled Real Madrid squad.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"heading\" data-jump-link-target=\"\" id=\"fc-red-bull-salzburg-0-al-hilal-0\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FC_Red_Bull_Salzburg_0_Al_Hilal_0\"><\/span><strong>FC Red Bull Salzburg 0, Al Hilal 0<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The match between Al Hilal and Salzburg resulted in the Club World Cup&#8217;s fifth scoreless draw, with Yassine Bounou earning Player of the Match honors for his stellar goalkeeping.

They had a strong performance in a previous match against Real Madrid, sparking hopes but ultimately could not find the back of the net against Al Hilal.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"heading\" data-jump-link-target=\"\" id=\"manchester-city-6-al-ain-0\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Manchester_City_6_Al_Ain_0\"><\/span><strong>Manchester City 6, Al Ain 0<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Manchester City delivered an impressive performance, defeating Al Ain 6-0.

G\u00fcndo\u011fan added a second goal before Oscar Bobb and Rayan Cherki also found the net.
