Jonathan David finding his form at Juventus with home World Cup in Canada approaching

ROME (AP) — Canada standout Jonathan David is rediscovering his form with a home World Cup approaching.

David scored his third goal in four matches and Juventus beat defending champion Napoli 3-0 in Serie A on Sunday.

The result meant that Luciano Spalletti got the better of Antonio Conte with both coaches meeting former squads.

Midway through the first half, David chested down a pass over the top from Manuel Locatelli and pushed it in.

“(David) showed that he can hold his own in a duel in the box where there’s no space, so it has to be taken away from the opponent,” Spalletti said. “If you put all your strength into those moments, it’s fine, otherwise you don’t get there. He scored a goal as a proper striker.”

Three minutes earlier, Juventus midfielder Khephren Thuram had hit the post, and three minutes after the goal the Turin club had another chance when Francisco Conceicao’s shot was cleared off the line by Napoli defender Alessandro Buongiorno.

Kenan Yildiz and Filip Kostic added second-half goals for host Juventus.

Napoli dropped from third to fourth, level on points with Roma, which drew 1-1 with second-place AC Milan.

Juventus was left in fifth.

Spalletti coached Napoli to the Serie A title in 2023, while Conte led Juventus to three straight Italian league titles after also playing for the club.

David scored in his Serie A debut for Juventus in August but then had a long drought before rediscovering his form this month with a goal and an assist against Sassuolo and another goal against Cremonese. He also had an assist in Juve’s victory over Benfica in the Champions League on Wednesday.

David's season has also had to weather a coaching change, with Spalletti replacing the fired Igor Tudor in October.

Canada is co-hosting this year’s World Cup with the United States and Mexico.

Canada is in a group with Qatar, Switzerland and another team still to be determined by European playoffs that include four-time champion Italy.

Spalletti was also impressed by United States international Weston McKennie playing in a more offensive position than his usual midfield role.

“McKennie is a perfect central striker," the coach said. “He fights, he’s strong in the air and he can jump high. He plays to get results because he makes decisions. He would be a perfect striker.”

The only good news for Napoli was that Romelu Lukaku came on in the second half for his first action since getting injured during a preseason friendly.

Lukaku wasted his only chance after a nice setup from Rasmus Hojlund.

Milan dropped five points behind Serie A leader Inter Milan with its draw at Roma.

Koni De Winter put Milan ahead in the second half by completing a set play following a corner kick and an assist from Luka Modric.

Lorenzo Pellegrini equalized with a penalty for Roma following a handball by Milan defender Davide Bartesaghi.

Milan remained unbeaten since a loss to Cremonese in its season opener in August.

Also, seventh-place Atalanta routed Parma 4-0 with Giacomo Raspadori scoring in his first start for the Bergamo club after transferring from Atletico Madrid.

Daniele De Rossi’s Genoa came back from two goals down to beat 10-man Bologna 3-2 with an injury-time winner from Junior Messias; and Sassuolo beat Cremonese 1-0.

BANDUNG, Indonesia (AP) — Nineteen members of Indonesia's elite marine force are among 80 people missing in deep mud after they were swept away or buried by a weekend landslide that tore through a mountainside in West Java province, killing dozens, officials said Monday.

The marines were training in rugged terrain and heavy rainfall when the predawn landslide on Saturday swallowed their camp and some 34 houses in Pasir Langu village on the slopes of Mount Burangrang. A massive search operation has grown from 500 to 2,100 personnel using bare hands, water pumps, drones and excavators.

Seventeen were confirmed dead, including 11 who were identified, and six others still undergoing identification process, said National Disaster Management Agency spokesperson Abdul Muhari.

Among the dead were four marines, navy Chief of Staff Adm. Muhammad Ali told reporters on Monday. They were part of a 23-member unit training for a long-duration border assignment on the Indonesia–Papua New Guinea frontier, he said. The rest are unaccounted for.

“Heavy rain over two nights triggered the slope failure that buried their training area,” Ali said. “Heavy machinery has struggled to reach the site, the access road is narrow and the ground remains unstable.”

Rescuers were digging through tons of mud, rocks and uprooted trees in a landslide that stretched more than 2 kilometers (1.2 miles), said Yudhi Bramantyo, the operation director of the National Search and Rescue Agency. He said that in some places the mud reached up to 8 meters (26 feet).

About 230 residents living near the site were evacuated to government shelters.

Seasonal rains and high tides from about October to April frequently cause flooding and landslides in Indonesia, an archipelago of more than 17,000 islands where millions of people live in mountainous areas or near fertile flood plains.
