The Turin side opened the scoring in the 6th minute when a well-executed team move resulted in an own goal by Wydad defender Abdelmounaim Boutouil. Turkish forward Kenan Yildiz, just 20 years old, capitalised quickly, steering a deflected shot into the net.
Yildiz doubled his tally in the 16th minute with a powerful strike from outside the box that left the goalkeeper rooted to the spot. Despite a response from Wydad—Thembinkosi Lorch whittled the lead to 2–1 in the 25th minute following a defensive lapse—the Italian giants regained control following halftime adjustments.
In the 69th minute, Yildiz completed his hat trick, guided by an assist from Randal Kolo Muani. Dusan Vlahovic then sealed the result in stoppage time, converting a penalty to make it 4–1.
Juventus remains unbeaten under coach Igor Tudor, with two wins from two in Group G. The victory positions them on six points, ahead of Manchester City and securing a significant edge in the race for qualification. With Wydad and Al Ain yet to score in the group, both teams face likely elimination.
Looking ahead, Juventus now anticipate a high-stakes final group game against Manchester City. A win or draw there would confirm their spot in the last 16.
