Wydad’s Boutouil put the ball into the wrong net to give Juventus the advantage before Yildiz doubled the Italian heavyweight’s tally in the 16th minute of the game.
Lorch’s 25th-minute strike helped the Moroccan side cut their arrears in half after Nordin Amrabat set his teammate up for the goal before the sides headed to the tunnel for halftime with Juve in the driver seat with a 2-1 lead.
Yildiz got his second of the nigth, and Juventu’ third, as he got on the end of Randal Kolo Muani’s supply to restore his side’s two-goal advantage.
Striker Vlahovic put the result beyond any doubt as he stepped up to take a spot kick in second half stoppage time and made no mistake in depositing the ball into the back of the net to complete a 4-1 win for his side.
