TURIN, Italy -- Gonzalo Higuain showed his best and worst sides as Juventus was held to a 1-1 draw against Lyon on Wednesday, with the Italian hosts missing the chance to ensure qualification for the Champions League knockout stage with two matches to spare.Higuain netted a penalty in the 13th minute but missed an open goal shortly before halftime. Juventus looked on course for the win but Corentin Tolisso leveled six minutes from time.It was the first goal Juventus has conceded in this seasons competition.Juventus slipped to second in Group H, two points behind Sevilla -- which beat Dinamo Zagreb 4-0 -- and four points above Lyon. Juventus visits Seville on Nov. 22, having drawn 0-0 at home to the Spanish side in September, and coach Massimiliano Allegri believes his side can still snatch top spot.It was important to win at home to mathematically qualify but in the Champions League you need a bit of luck, Allegri said. Were still in the fight for first place, so I think Juventus is on the right path in the Champions League as well as domestically.It would have been ideal to qualify tonight but maybe then in the end we would have gone to Sevilla tired and would have lost first place.Lyon can sneak into the last 16 if it wins its final two group games and results elsewhere go its way.Im happy about the goal because it gives us a small chance of qualification, Tolisso said. Now we have to try and beat Zagreb and hope that Juventus beats Sevilla and then that will set us up for our final group game at home to Sevilla.Juventus showed its attacking intent from the start, playing with a 4-3-1-2 formation, as Miralem Pjanics effort was hooked off the line by Mouctar Diakhaby -- although the Juventus player was harshly flagged offside.Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon was making his 100th Champions League appearance and he was called into an early save to deny Maciej Rybus.At the other end Anthony Lopes also pulled off a great stop to keep out Mario Mandzukics powerful strike.Juventus took the lead minutes later. Higuain burst down the left flank and threaded the ball through for Stefano Sturaro, who was barged over by Diakhaby.Higuain converted into the bottom left corner for his ninth goal for Juventus, since moving from Napoli in the offseason for an Italian record fee.It was also the Argentina forwards 100th goal for Italian clubs.Claudio Marchisio was making his first Champions League appearance since February, having spent six months out with a cruciate ligament injury, and he almost scored his first goal since his return but fired narrowly wide of the left post for Juventus.Higuain should have doubled his tally after Mandzukic burst forward into the area and unselfishly rolled the ball across the box but the Argentine blazed over an open goal from 15 yards (meters) out.His side was nearly made to pay immediately for his miss as Rachid Ghezzal controlled a throw in and shrugged off a couple of challenges but fired just the wrong side of the right-hand post.Lyon upped the pressure in the second half but never really tested Buffon, although the Italy goalkeeper was prevented from keeping his 43rd clean sheet in the competition when Tolisso headed in Ghezzals free kick.

Crouched behind the 10th green at Sheshan International, McDowell looked over at the powerful American and said, "Ive probably seen 18 of the best drives Ive seen all year in the last two days.

Jachai Polite Jersey . LOUIS -- Attorneys for the St. COLUMBUS, Ohio -- A pro-American crowd of 24,650 chanted Dos a cero! at the start.Mexican supporters yelled Dos a uno! as they left.Rafa Marquez scored a tiebreaking goal on a header in the 89th minute, giving Mexico a 2-1 victory Friday night and its first victory at the United States in World Cup qualifying since 1972.After winning four straight home qualifiers against Mexico by 2-0 scores -- all in Columbus -- the U.S. hoped to open the final round of the North and Central American and Caribbean region with another victory. Instead, the Americans began the hexagonal with a loss for the second straight cycle, and they play Tuesday night at Costa Rica, where they have never won in qualifying.It gets a sense of anger in us. It gets a sense of absolutely urgency, U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann said. Its not a problem, but its obviously disappointing.Miguel Layun put Mexico ahead in the 20th minute, but Bobby Wood tied it in the 49th.The U.S. dominated the second half before the 37-year-old Marquez, unmarked and drifting across the penalty area at the near post, got a glancing nod on Layuns corner kick. The Mexican captain lifted the ball over goalkeeper Brad Guzan for his 17th international goal.Mexicos previous win at the U.S. in qualifying was also by a 2-1 score, at the Los Angeles Coliseum.I think we deserved this match, Layun said. We were focused.Klinsmann said John Brooks was supposed to mark Marquez on the corner kick. Jozy Altidore blocked the defender from getting there.We lost him there. Individual mistake, Klinsmann said.The Americans had been 30-0-2 at home in qualifying since a 3-2 loss to Honduras at Washingtons RFK Stadium in September 2001.Theyre very good in terms of when they have a little time circulating the ball, and they start to find space, American captain Michael Bradley said.Guzan had lost the U.S. goalkeeper job to Tim Howard, who started at the last two World Cups. But Howard pulled a muscle in his right leg on a goal kick and was replaced in the 40th minute.Howard was to have a scan Saturday, a day before the U.S. travels, and Klinsmann said Howard likely will miss the match at Costa Rica.ddddddddddddHe knows its not looking that good, Klinsmann said.The top three teams in the six-nation round qualify for the World Cup, and the fourth-place country advances to a playoff.With the U.S. struggling early in what Klinsmann called a 3-4-3 formation, Mexico could have led 3-0. Howard tipped Jesus Coronas 10th-minute shot off a post and Carlos Velas 25th-minute header hit a crossbar.Out midfielders didnt get into the one-on-one battles we expected them to, Klinsmann said, citing Jermaine Jones and Bradley.After switching to a more familiar 4-4-2 in the 27th minute, the Americans began to find their rhythm, and Wood scored off a pass from Altidore.It was 44 degrees at game time, half the 90-degree temperature for the 2013 match in Columbus, when the U.S. clinched its seventh straight World Cup berth.Mexico went ahead after Bradley and Giovani dos Santos battled for the ball 30 yards out. The ball skipped to Layun, who took a touch, and his right-footed shot deflected off Timmy Chandler past Howards left for his fourth international goal in 46 appearances,Wood tied the score after Brooks forced a turnover. Altidore turned his defender and passed to Wood, who took two touches as he split defenders. His 8-yard, left-footed shot deflected off a leg of Layun for his eighth goal in 28 international appearances. Wood also scored against Mexico last fall during an extra-time loss in the playoff for a berth in the 2017 Confederations Cup.Altidore and Wood have combined for seven goals in 11 games theyve started together.Game notes All three visiting teams had victories in their openers.
