    Tracking the ball with precision, U.S. men's national team winger Tim Weah pounced on a rebound in the box to give Juventus a first half lead against Torino in their match on Saturday. The American sprinted to the far post after an Andrea Cambiasso shot was parried in his direction, where he calmly slotted home - much to the delight of his teammates around him.

    Weah has now scored three goals since his return to the Juventus starting XI on Oct. 27, bagging across three matches in four-straight starts. The 23-year-old has been in fine form, however, the Bianconeri have only won one of their last three regular season matches, with Saturday presenting them an opportunity to hold on to a crucial three points.

    Fellow U.S. international Weston McKennie was moved to the bench for the clash for the second-straight match across all competitions.

    The Bianconeri enter the Nov. international break, taking a break from their campaign. However, international players will head out to represent their countries during the upcoming FIFA window. Weah, along with McKennie, are both expected to join the USMNT for their Concacaf Nations League quarterfinal matches against Jamaica next week.
