Manchester City did not need its main formation to easily win the United Arab Al Ain in the match that closed the second round of the Club World Cup. With a lineup full of athletes usually reserves, the English team triumphed 6-0 on Sunday night (22).
The result at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta defined the two classifieds of group G to the round of 16. City and Juventus, who have had no difficulty in their commitments so far, will face each other next Thursday (26), for the first position. Al Ain and Wydad, from Morocco, eliminated, will make a kind of friendly.
In front of Al Ain, City opened three goals in the first half, with Gündogan, Echeverri and Haaland, on penalty scored with the help of the video referee. In the final stage, Pep Guardiola’s men closed the rout at submissions of Gündogan, Oscar Bobb and Cherki.
