    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 1-0 lead against Torino in their match on Saturday in the first half. The American sprinted to the far post after an Andrea Cambiaso shot was parried in his direction, where he calmly slotted home - much to the delight of his teammates around him.

    The opening goal in the fixture, the Bianconeri doubled their lead with minutes to spare through Turkish teenage star Kenan Yildiz to secure all three points in a 2-0 victory.

    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, with Saturday being the latest affair for the American.

    Fellow U.S. international Weston McKennie was moved to the bench for the clash for the second-straight match across all competitions, but was introduced late as a substitute in the 87th minute.

    For Juve, Saturday marked their fifth-straight match across all competitions without a loss.

    WHAT NEXT FOR WEAH?

    The Bianconeri enter the November international break, taking a break from their Serie A 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.
