Juventus shocked Spanish La Liga runners-up Real Madrid and beat them in a tight-fisted encounter played at a packed Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida.
The match started well for Juventus, who opened the scoring inside the first 60 seconds. The ball reached Timothy Weah, who shot on the post, but the ball bounced at the feet of Moise Kean, who made no mistake for 1:0 .
Instead of an Real Madrid equalizer, however, in the 20th minute the Italian side caught their opponent on the counter-attack, Weston McKenney bursting into the penalty area and passed to an unmarked Weah who fired it home to make it 2-0.

In the 38th minute Real came back into the game. Toni Kroos delivered a magnificent pass for Vinicius, who raced past Bremer and coolly converted for 2:1.
The second half was purely unded Madrid players control, who created quite a few chances, and hit another post after a long shot by Federico Valverde. However, Real never managed to get an equalizing goal.
Instead, in stoppage time Juventus mounted a wonderful counter-attack, Matias Soule delivering a sharp pass down for Dusan Vlahovic, who latched onto the ball from close range, and despite Thibaut Courtois’ intervention, the ball found its way into the net for 3-1.
