Kylian Mbappé Makes Club World Cup Debut in Real Madrid's win over Juventus

Kylian Mbappé made his Club World Cup debut as Real Madrid beat Juventus 1-0 thanks to another goal from breakout star Gonzalo Garcia.

The win at Miami's Hard Rock Stadium put Real Madrid into the quarterfinals of the tournament. The Spanish club will face Borussia Dortmund on Saturday at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., for a spot in the semifinals.

García has started all four of Real Madrid's matches because of a gastrointestinal illness for Mbappé. The 21-year-old broke a second-half tie with a header in the 54th minute, giving him a goal contribution in every match of the tournament.

García subbed out in the 68th as Mbappé checked in, making his tournament debut after he was briefly hospitalized with the illness. He missed Real Madrid's three group stage matches.

García's header Tuesday came after Real Madrid had forced Juventus goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio into consecutive spectacular saves in the opening minutes of the second half. It was an incredible performance from the Italian goalie, whose 10 saves kept the match close.

It was a scoreless and evenly contested first half, the first time either team had been held without a goal in the opening half of a match in the tournament. Both sides had chances, including Randal Kolo Muani's effort that went over the bar seven minutes in and Federico Valverde's shot that was denied by Di Gregorio before the end of the half.

But Real Madrid overwhelmed Juventus in the second half, finishing with 11 shots on target to 2.

There were loud cheers from the 62,149 fans at Hard Rock Stadium when Mbappé came into the game. Many were wearing his jersey and yelling "Mbappé! Mbappé!"
