Club World Cup: Juventus drubbing, first place in the round belongs to Manchester City

At Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida, the decisive match for first place in Group G of the Club World Cup was won by Manchester City, which overwhelmed Juventus 5-2. Both teams, with two wins in their previous two matches, were already qualified for the round of 16.

Pep Guardiola’s Citizens took the lead after 9 minutes: Ait-Nouri gave Doku off-center on the left, a right-footed shot to the far post that was impeccable for Di Gregorio. 120 seconds later the Bianconeri equalize: Koopmeiners scores low to the ground just after Vlahovic had missed the equalizing goal.

The Bianconeri’s equalizer.

In the 26th minute the English took the lead again: Marmoush from the right crosses low, finds no teammates but Kalulu, who scores the most sensational of own goals. In the 52nd minute the 3-1: Haaland, who entered in the second half in Marmoush’s place, receives a cross from Matheus Nunes and it is child’s play for him to score with the goal wide open.

At 69 minutes the poker: Haaland stoops sublimely and throws in for Savinho, Kalulu punctured and the ball goes in for Foden, who scores. City ramped up: in the 75th minute Savinho, with a very strong right-footer from outside the box incinerated Di Gregorio, who had repelled a shot d Haaland. In the 84th minute Vlahovic shortened the gap on an assist from Yildiz.

In the other, irrelevant group match, played at Audi Field in Washington, Al-Ain beat Wydad Casablanca 2-1. Moroccans leading in the 4th minute through Mailula, the UAE team turned the tables with a penalty by Laba in the first minute of first-half recovery and Kaku in the 50th minute.

The Group H matches to be played on the night, Al-Hilal-Pachuca and Salzburg–Real Madrid, will decide who will be the opponents of Juventus and Manchester City.
