Gareth Bale Scores as Real Madrid Beats Juventus in 2018 ICC

Real Madrid denied Juventus the 2018 International Champions Cup title with a 3-1 victory at FedExField in Landover, Maryland, on Saturday.

After beating Bayern Munich, 2-0, and Benfica on penalties, Juventus entered the match having picked up five of the six possible points. That put it just two points from the top of the standings, meaning a victory would bump it up to first.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid was coming off a 2-1 defeat to Manchester United on Tuesday, its lone match of the tournament to that point.

Juventus got on the board first with an own goal in the 12th minute, but Gareth Bale scored the equalizer just minutes before halftime.
