Trezeguet leads Juventus past FC Tokyo 4-1
David Trezeguet scored twice to help Italian Serie A champions Juventus come from behind to defeat J-League's FC Tokyo 4-1 Tuesday in the third match of an Asian tour.
Striker Mitsuhiro Toda put Nabisco Cup winner FC Tokyo ahead soon into the first half with a ninth-minute goal off of a cross from Masashi Miyazawa. Juventus, which clinched its 28th Serie A title last month, was unable to equalize until early in the second half, when Trezeguet pounced on a ball dropped by goalkeeper Hitoshi Shiota after a shot by Pavel Nedved. Substitute Giuseppe Sculli pushed the visitors in front with a goal in the 73rd minute, while captain Alessandro Del Piero followed with another two minutes later. Trezeguet fired in a fourth goal in the 81st minute to clinch a solid victory for the Turin team after its humiliating 3-5 loss against third-ranked Hong Kong club Kitchee over the weekend. Juventus is among several top European clubs that will play exhibition matches in Japan this summer. Last week, it launched its Asian tour with a 1-0 victory against J-League side Yokohama F Marinos. Manchester United, Spanish champions Barcelona and German powerhouse Bayern Munich are also scheduled to play matches here.
