Wydad Athletic Club winger Thembinkosi Lorch admits his side learned “a lot of things” during their defeat to Juventus.

The Moroccan outfit suffered their second straight defeat in the Club World Cup when they fell to a 3-1 loss to the Italian side at the Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

The South African got his name on the score sheet to open his account in the tournament with a stunning goal against Juventus.

Wydad currently sit in third place in Group G with zero points after two games, having lost their first two matches.

Lorch will be hoping his side can bounce back when they take on Al Ain in their final Group G encounter at the Audi Field in Washington DC.

“We face the best teams in the world and we learn. There is a good team spirit,” Lorch said.

“We’ve learned a lot of things. We don’t dwell on the defeat, but on all the experience gained.

“I thank the fans, they give everything for us.”
