Real Madrid are leading Juventus 1-0 in the round of 16 at the Club World Cup. Gonzalo Garcia broke the deadlock in the 54th minute, heading home from close range.
Kylian Mbappe has come off the bench to make his first appearance for Madrid in this tournament after recovering from acute gastroenteritis.
The winner of this tie will face Borussia Dortmund or Monterrey in the quarter-final.

90+5' Real Madrid 1-0 Juventus
A very late shout for a penalty from the Juventus as Kolo Muani went down in a heap after a clash with Rudiger.
But the protests were immediately waved away. And it didn't look like a foul at all, in truth.

90+4' Real Madrid 1-0 Juventus
Four minutes of five down in stoppage time and Juventus still don't look at all like scoring.
It really is now or never for the Italians. Currently, it looks almost certain to be never.
90+1' Real Madrid 1-0 Juventus
It hasn't looked at all like Juventus would equalise since Garcia gave Real Madrid the lead, so it is hard to imagine they will take this match to extra time.
But this is football, a game often entirely unpredictable — Juve had five minutes of stoppage time to equalise or they will be eliminated.
90' Real Madrid 1-0 Juventus
Another break in play for a substitution.
Valverde's brilliant performance is brought to a premature end, and to a great ovation too — Dani Ceballos has replaced the Uruguayan in midfield.
87' Real Madrid 1-0 Juventus
This has been a pretty well-mannered match compared to what we have seen in the last few days at this tournament.
It has taken until the 87th minute for the yellow card to come out and it is shown to Bellingham for a mistimed sliding challenge.
That is his first booking of the tournament, so he will not miss the potential Bellingham derby in the quarter-final through suspension.
85' Real Madrid 1-0 Juventus
These were the two players that Igor Tudor wanted to bring on initially during the cooling break, but he kept his powder dry and has waited until now to make them.
Weston McKennie and Federico Gatti have been introduced with Manuel Locatelli and Daniele Rugani being withdrawn.

This has been a seriously impressive performance from Di Gregorio.
He now has 10 saves in the match having tipped a goal-bound Tchouameni effort from long range around the post.
81' Real Madrid 1-0 Juventus
We haven't seen too much of Vinicius Jr strutting his stuff in this last-16 tie but, a moment ago, he reminded us of why he is so dangerous for this Real Madrid side.
Faced up against a defender in the penalty area, he jinked from one foot to the other, offered a lovely stepover and wrong-footed his marker. It took him a little too close to the goal, though, and he wasn't able to pick out Mbappe in the centre.
77' Real Madrid 1-0 Juventus
Another big cheer from this healthy Hard Rock Stadium crowd as Luka Modric is introduced for the final portion of this last-16 tie. Guler is the man that has made way after another decent performance in the engine room.
A reminder that Modric is leaving Real Madrid after this tournament, so this could be the last time we see him in this famous shirt if Juventus turn this around.
76' Real Madrid 1-0 Juventus
This second half has been played at frantic pace, especially given the warm afternoon and high humidity in Miami.
Despite the rain falling at Hard Rock Stadium, it is time for our second cooling break of the match.
73' Real Madrid 1-0 Juventus
This has been a defiant performance from Di Gregorio and his team-mates will have a lot to thank him for if they can find a way back into the match.
This was not one of his best saves of the game, but an important one nonetheless. He made a decent stop with feet to keep out Guler's left-footed volley.

Oof, where did that come from?
Juventus were coming under increasing pressure but then decided to strike a blow of their own, and nearly found an equalising goal. Substitute Gonzalez, a few yards outside the penalty area, lashed an effort towards the bottom corner and came close to picking it out.
If that had been on course for the bottom corner, I don't think Courtois would have had it covered.
Juve's stand-out player from the first half, Yildiz, has been replaced by Teun Koopmeiners, who scored against Manchester City a few nights ago.
68' Real Madrid 1-0 Juventus
Not what the Juventus defenders will have wanted to see…
A huge cheer goes up around Hard Rock Stadium with Mbappe stripped and ready to enter the action.
First, he had to watch as Juve nervily dealt with a couple of Madrid corners, but now he is on. Goalscorer Garcia is the man sacrificed.
64' Real Madrid 1-0 Juventus
Tchouameni has shuffled over into the right centre-back position now, maybe to help his side progress the ball. Left-footed Huijsen is a very capable passer on the other side of the back three.
63' Real Madrid 1-0 Juventus
Real Madrid weren't at their best in the first half, but they have been all over Juventus since the restart.
The Spaniards deserved their opening goal and have come close on a number of other occasions in this second half.
The key for Juventus over the next 10 or 15 is to just stay in the game. It feels unlikely they will come back if Madrid take a 2-0 lead here, particularly with Mbappe to come on from the bench.
61' Real Madrid 1-0 Juventus
Valverde is such a good footballer and is probably an even better athlete.
He regularly comes up with key contributions in both boxes and he has had a few decent chances in this match.
His latest chance was all class, meeting the dropping ball from eight yards out with an overhead kick. Di Gregorio was, once again, equal to it with another big save.
The Juventus goalkeeper is keeping his side in the game at the moment.

59' Real Madrid 1-0 Juventus
A pair of changes for Juventus after going a goal behind.
One of them is forced; Lloyd Kelly picked up an injury and has been replaced by Filip Kostic. The other is a tactical one; Nicolas Gonzalez has taken the place of Conceicao in attack.
57' Real Madrid 1-0 Juventus
Very good assist from Alexander-Arnold, who had been heavily criticised during the first half.
And it was a great header from Garcia. He now has three goals and an assist in four games in this Club World Cup having arrived in a secondary role, at best.
55' Real Madrid 1-0 Juventus
Real Madrid have been so much better in this second half than they were in the first.
Huijsen aimed a dipping volley towards the bottom corner from miles out but, once again, Di Gregorio was equal to it. He could do nothing to keep out Garcia's header, though.
It was a perfect cross into the box from Alexander-Arnold and Garcia seemed to hang in the air for an age, before thundering a header past the Juventus goalkeeper and into the back of the net.
Cue pandemonium in the stands at Hard Rock Stadium!
