Juventus beat Chivas 1-0 in friendly

Fabio Quagliarella's first-half goal was enough to lift Italian club Juventus to a 1-0 victory over Mexican outfit Chivas Guadalajara in a friendly match. Quagliarella's goal in the 12th minute on Thursday insured Juventus notched their second victory in three nights in their North American tour. They defeated Mexico's Club America 1-0 on Tuesday in New York. Jorge Mora's free kick in the 80th minute hit the left post for Guadalajara, who remained without a victory or a goal in their series of exhibitions. Chivas fell 3-0 to Spain's Real Madrid on July 20 and faces Spanish powerhouse Barcelona on August 3 in Miami. Quagliarella took advantage of a miscue by Chivas defender Jonny Magallon to score the game's only goal. Magallon's slip gave Quagliarella a window and he fired a right-footed shot into the left corner of the net. Three members of Mexico's Under-17 World Cup championship team -- Carlos Fierro, Giovanny Casillas and Jose Pablo Tostado -- made their debuts for Guadalajara about 15 minutes into the second half.
