Benfica 1 Juventus 1 (2-4 on penalties): Ferreyra injury mars ICC tie

Alex Sandro hit the key penalty to earn Juventus an International Champions Cup win against Benfica, who lost Facundo Ferreyra to injury.

A seemingly serious injury to Facundo Ferreyra marred the International Champions Cup match between Benfica and Juventus that the Bianconeri won via a penalty shootout.

Jonas hit the post and Mattia Perin saved from Joao Felix to allow Alex Sandro to roll in the winning spot-kick, earning Juve a 4-2 triumph after a 1-1 draw at the Red Bull Arena on Saturday.

But Ferreyra leaving the field on a stretcher wearing a neck brace remained the defining moment of a low-key ICC contest that was lit up by two fantastic second-half finishes.
