Manchester City Samp Al Ein 6-0 at Club World Cup | Football News

Goals from Haaland, Gundogan and new signature Cherki Help Man City enter the knockout stage of the tournament.

Manager Pep Guardiola was a bit disappointed that Manchester City failed to score the seventh goal in Al Ain’s defeat, despite the British club securing their passage to the knockout stage of the Club World Cup.

German Ilcay Gandogan scored two goals as City comfortably dispatched Emiratis 6-0 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Sunday, drawing the difference between Juventus and goals at the top of Group G.

City will play Juventus in Thursday’s final opening round match to decide who will be the top of the group and who will be second.

Juventus falls into a collision on a small edge as the goal scored on the second tiebreaker after a team-level goal difference above the point. Juve scored nine goals for the city’s eight.

In the 16th round, the top team from Group G plays the second-place team in Group H, currently Red Bull Salzburg. The runner-up will face the top team, Real Madrid, currently the 15-time European champion.

Juventus defeated Widad 4-1 in another Group G match.

Erling Haaland scored on a penalty, new signing Ryan Cherki bagged something close to full-time, while Claudio Ekeveli and Oscar Bob rode the city’s scoring sheets with the aim of passing the disappointing season.

After beating Morocco’s Widad 2-0 in the group opener, in an all-new lineup, Man City announced a dominant performance in Atlanta against the UAE overmatch club.

Guardiola said his side was “pushed and pushed to score another goal,” but eventually lost it.

City star forward Rodri gradually returned from an ACL injury and left the bench.

“He can’t play more than 30 minutes,” the Spanish manager said of Rodri’s return. “He still struggles a bit in the duel, but he still needs to be a little stronger, but that’s normal.

“It’s important that he’s far better than his previous game. We miss him so much. Every team misses the best player in the world.”

Other results on Sunday saw Salzburg and Al-Giral in a goalless draw in Group H after 10 Real Madrid I won 3-1 against Patchoca.
