00:00.
00:05Well, good afternoon, everyone. Welcome to Miami.
00:09We're back for more Round of 16 action here in the Hard Rock Stadium.
00:13Group H winners Real Madrid take on runners-up in Group G, Juventus.
00:18While Real Madrid named the same side that beat RB Salzburg 3-0
00:21in Philadelphia last week, which means Dean Housen
00:24comes up against this former club for the first time in midfield.
00:27The goals of Drew Bellingham and Federico Valverde
00:30have almost single-handedly taken Real to the knock-out phase
00:32as young Gonzalo Garcia starts ahead of fit again.
00:35Kylian Mbappe, Militao and Dani Carvajal
00:38are back on the bench for Xabi Alonso this afternoon here in Miami.
00:49There's six changes for Igor Tudor's side.
00:52No room for the injured Nicolo Savona in defence,
00:55who's expected to miss the remainder of this club World Cup,
00:57so Daniele Raghani comes into the Juve back line
01:00for the first appearance in the United States for him.
01:02Andrea Cambiasso starts on the left as Randal Colomuani
01:05is preferred to Dusan Vlahovic up front for Juventus.
01:09Here's Vinicius Junior, lovely strength and a lovely pass with the outside of the left boot.
01:24Trent Alexander-Arnold, heavy touch as he tries to go past his man.
01:28Very solid stuff out the back from Cambiasso, that's good.
01:32And Colomuani into Yildiz, he's got Colomuani making the run,
01:35he's ahead of Rudiger, Colomuani for Juve!
01:39Onto the roof of the net.
01:41How close can you get for Randal Colomuani?
01:47So close to 1-0.
01:48That was a brilliant flick, but he doesn't just stay, he just gets after it.
01:52And this sliding pass, the timing of the run is perfect.
01:55Just when he gets into this position, I think it's one of those
01:57where you just use that side foot to try and put it into the far corner.
02:01He knows Courtois will stay big, he tries to dink it over,
02:04very unlucky as it just hits the top of the net.
02:13Here's Jude Bellingham.
02:18Alisson into Valverde, across to Antonio Rudiger,
02:20who was certainly the slower of the two players chasing that ball.
02:24Three for Colomuani.
02:27Valverde puts his foot down and pulls out a strike a good few metres wide.
02:30in the end.
02:33There's a chance, all of his own making.
02:35He does get it out of his feet.
02:38It's unfortunate.
02:45That's a clever turn by Yildiz, away from Ardugula.
02:48It might open up here for Yildiz!
02:50Oh, it flashes wide for a corner.
02:53Well, it took a touch of a Real defender,
02:56but every time Kenan Yildiz gets on the ball here in Miami,
02:59something seems to happen.
03:01There's the touch, that's what got him away.
03:03And he's not afraid to have a go.
03:05He strikes it early.
03:06You see that technique gets over the top of it.
03:09He knows it's got a chance.
03:10That's good by Turam, and even better by Randal Colomuani.
03:18As Turam skips through the Real Madrid half.
03:20Out wide now with Cambiasso.
03:22There's lots of players in black in the middle here.
03:24Can he find one?
03:25There's the header, it's straight at Courtois.
03:27Ponce Sao, probably the smallest player on the pitch,
03:31winning the header on the penalty spot.
03:33Ponce Sao, very, very unfortunate
03:35that he couldn't direct the header anywhere else.
03:42Now Alexander-Arnold all on his own on the Real Madrid right.
03:49Into Bellingham.
03:50Not so much of the England man in this first half.
03:53Valverde on the right-hand side.
03:56Into G.
03:57Bellingham!
03:58It's off the line by Regani.
04:01So, so close for Real Madrid.
04:03And at long last, they've carved together a few passes
04:06in the Juventus penalty area.
04:08And that's as close as Real Madrid have come
04:12in this first half an hour in Miami.
04:14It's just underneath him, really, really close to the goal line.
04:19Trying to direct it.
04:21Getting tighter and tighter.
04:25Certainly got the crowd on their front.
04:28And another Scorch of a day here in Miami.
04:31Bellingham to Valverde!
04:41Great save!
04:43A little fist pump from Michele Di Gregorio as he made that save,
04:48because Valverde put everything into that.
04:50And for a moment, it looked like he was just going to sneak inside the post.
04:54Yeah, eyes on it's like that slicer.
04:56It's going towards that far corner.
04:57For Gregorio.
04:58It's a really good, strong left hand.
05:00Decent save.
05:01Good, strong strike initially.
05:02Valverde comes forward.
05:04Valverde comes forward.
05:06Alexander-Arnold looking to put in the cross.
05:08Comes in now though from Chouameni.
05:10Half an opportunity here for Real Madrid!
05:12Oh, and it just goes wide.
05:14Federico Valverde.
05:15I think the set wasn't great from Bellingham.
05:16I think that's what he'd be disappointed with.
05:17That he didn't hook it into his path so he could have a look at goal.
05:18He had to wait.
05:19He was behind it.
05:20And he's Vinicius Junior.
05:36He had to wait.
05:38He's Vinicius Junior.
05:40Here's Vinicius Junior, throws a cross into the mix, then comes the volley from range, oh goodness me!
05:56Ti Gregorio seemed uncertain with that, Dean Housen, and that was going in that far post you know.
06:03It was going in.
06:05Alexander-Arnold and Ardegu stand over this corner, it is the Turkish international who sends it in.
06:11Headed away, out the back by Daniele Rugani.
06:16Fran Garcia skips away from his man Concey Sao.
06:21Vinicius Junior, onto the penalty spot, headed away at the back by Lloyd Kelly.
06:25Alexander-Arnold, there's the header, Gonzalo Garcia!
06:31Who needs Kylian Mbappe when you've got young Gonzalo Garcia?
06:38This tournament is his as he leads the line for Real Madrid perfectly.
06:49Three goals at the Club World Cup, pulling young forward, it's Real Madrid 1, Juventus 0.
06:57He keeps looking, probing, finding positions, and they were just adding so much pressure, it was just this floated ball here.
07:05And then he just attacks it, directs it centrally into the roof of the net.
07:11It was a strong header, it was good with guidance.
07:15He's waited, he rises, he was under pressure, but he delivered.
07:21Some header, and look what it means to Xabi Alonso.
07:27What we were saying pre-match, is he going to give Mbappe the start today?
07:31And he certainly hasn't, and why would he have to when he's got Gonzalo Garcia delivering again at the Club World Cup?
07:39Well, Real Madrid haven't had a single 0-0 in all their 65 games this season, and they continue that record this afternoon in Miami.
07:56Well, what have Juventus got up their sleeve?
08:06Here's Turan, as runners ahead of him, Colin Mouane, Cancet Sao, saved by Courtois.
08:15Well, it looked like he'd mishit it, Cancet Sao.
08:19Obviously more whip, more power would have been as he wanted, but he still caught it quite well.
08:25You can tell by the goalkeeper's reaction that he's down in that bottom corner.
08:38Costa jump against Alexander-Arnold.
08:41Goes back to Kalulu.
08:44Yildiz, might have said his name in the second half.
08:49Here's Locatelli.
08:50Can I yield his?
08:52Face with Juve Bellingham, through his legs.
08:55Kolo Mouane lays it up for Gonzalez!
08:57Good hit!
08:59And that was close.
09:01Courtois watches it go wide, but he looked a little bit worried to the Real Madrid goalkeeper.
09:06Great hold-up play by Colin Mouane initially there.
09:09Yeah, really good, because he was under pressure, but he sets it off, it was a nice try.
09:13Turan feeds one through, it's a great pass into Kochbainers.
09:21It's cut back for Kostic, finds the cross.
09:25Udiga finds his head.
09:27Oh, it's too slow at the back from Ardugula.
09:30Turan has it, but now the count is on for Real Madrid.
09:32Bellingham plays it out to the left-hand side, Vinicius Junior keeps it in.
09:37As the supporters rise from their seats here.
09:41It's Mbappe in the penalty area, cuts it across to the edge of the penalty area.
09:46Ardugula with the strike.
09:49Through the forest of legs and saved by Di Gregorio.
09:52It's a great move, the overlap, and then the timing is perfect.
09:57Just normally on the back post, because they're too quick.
10:00Waits, then the set.
10:02This is a nice strike.
10:04Straight at the goalkeeper, though, but...
10:06Impressive move.
10:08Mbappe really caught that sweetly, didn't he?
10:10Yeah, he caught it well.
10:12Unfortunately, right at the goalkeeper anywhere else, he's in a bit of trouble.
10:18Here's Turan, dispossessed by Bellingham, big tackle.
10:20Mbappe's there.
10:23Out wide to Vinicius Junior.
10:25Plenty and wide in this attack.
10:26Vinicius Junior, locked in the middle.
10:30Not away yet, as Valverde picks it up.
10:34Vinicius Junior, once again, he's finding so much space behind Cambiasso down the Real Madrid left.
10:39Chumaini shoots from range!
10:41Oh, and at full stretch, Di Gregorio puts it behind for a corner.
10:45And he's made a handful of saves this afternoon as Di Gregorio kept the score down and, once again, full stretch to get his fingertips on that.
10:56Xabi Alonso's Real Madrid are really finding their groove as they progress into the quarter-finals of the FIFA Club World Cup.
11:07And they didn't even need Mbappe on the score sheet.
11:09Because it was the young man, the star of this FIFA Club World Cup for Real Madrid, Gonzalo Garcia, with a wonderful, wonderful header.
11:19Final score, Madrid 1, Juventus 0.
11:21I rents it now.
11:22I rents it now.
