Just one week was enough for Weston McKennie to go from hell to sports heaven with Juventus fans. He was first sanctioned for participating in a clandestine party with two teammates, then the sanction was lifted, he played against Napoli on Wednesday April 7 and finished liquidating La Vecchia Signora's victory over Genoa.

On the 30th date of Serie AJuventus faced Genoa with the obligation to achieve a victory to catch up with an Inter that is consolidating in the first position with 74 points, 12 units from McKennie and company team. Weston did the job!

Juventus went into the first half with a 2-0 lead after goals from Dejan Kulusevski and Álvaro Morata at minute 4 and 22, respectively. Everything was ready for a quiet victory, but Giaunluca Scamacca discounted for Genoa at 4 minutes of the complementary stage.

When the game began to get complicated, one of the new gems of soccer in the United States arrived. Weston McKennie entered in the 25th minute of the second half and only needed two minutes to score the third Juventus goal and finish the game against Genoa.

Danilo leaked the ball between the lines and in the face of a bad exit from the Genoa defense, Weston McKennie received only the ball, he drove with all the calm and when he had goalkeeper Mattia Perin in front of him, he opened his right foot and scored the 3 -1 to favor of Juventus. The North American midfielder reached five touchdowns in the 2020-21 Serie A season.
