Marchisio brace lifts Juve to win over PSG

    Miami, July 27 (AFP): Claudio Marchisio's second-half double was enough for Juventus to see off Paris Saint-Germain 3-2 on Wednesday and send the French champions home from the United States on the back of two consecutive defeats.   The Italian international scored the goal of the game, a fiercely struck effort in the 62nd to restore Juve's lead after PSG's equaliser on 53 minutes.   Although Unai Emery's team battled hard, as the clock ticked down Moise Kean was brought down in the box allowing Marchisio to win it from the penalty spot.   It was a tough call on PSG defender Layvin Kurzawa, who appeared to become entangled with Kean, but Juventus were not complaining about a decision which capped a decent night’s work for the Italian giants.   Any of the 44,444 who came to the Hard Rock Stadium would have been acutely aware that Miami is preparing itself for the arrivals of European titans Barcelona and Real Madrid on Saturday in what's being billed as the glittering showpiece of this summer’s International Champions Cup friendly tournament.
