On this day in 1996, Juventus and River Plate clashed heads in Tokyo with the Intercontinental Cup on the line.
The now-defunct competition pitted the UEFA Champions League winner against the South American club that lifted the Copa Libertadores.
The star-studded Bianconeri team dominated the action from start to finish, but had to wait until the 81st minute to find the breakthrough.
Alessandro Del Piero controlled a loose ball inside the penalty box, sending an unstoppable shot towards the far post.
This River team had the legendary Enzo Francescoli in it`s lineup, even if this was at the very end of his career. Zidane named his son after him to give you an idea. River also had Bonano, Sorin, Ortega and Julio Cruz while also having national team players in every position. Gallardo and Salas was on the bench. This was a legendary team that Juve won against.
