## Juventus' McKennie Assists Key Goal in Top League Clash
In a thrilling Serie A showdown between giants Juventus and AC Milan on Saturday, American midfielder Weston McKennie proved instrumental, delivering the decisive assist for what turned out to be the winning goal.

The Brazilian defender smashed home first-time from close range, sending the home fans wild.

His vision and technique sliced open Italy’s best defence, breaking deadlock poise.

Picking up loose clearance deep in his own half, he launched an exquisite long ball over toppling defenders straight onto Dušan Vlahović’s chest. The Serbian struck immediately, coolly slotting past Mike Maignan to restore Turin’s lead (2-1).

For ninety minutes defined by tactical battles and nervous tension, one player consistently tilted the balance: Wes McKennie. His assist stats may show only one name, but his influence shaped both decisive moments in Juventus’ vital 3-1 victory over their historic rivals. This display cemented him as Tuttosport’s Man of the Match and swung momentum firmly towards the Old Lady.
