Man City won to Juve 2-5 and qualified as group leader for the round of 16

An undisputed victory for Manchester City. Pep Guardiola's players dominated the match from start to finish. At almost no time did they leave the Italian team any room for reaction. So with the difference in level that was clearly visible at the Orlando stadium, the English team's players crushed Juventus 5-2, finishing top of the group.

With the opening whistle, City immediately showed why they were considered favorites. With the first touch, the ball immediately reached its new captain, Bernardo Silva, who approached to break the opponent's goal, but goalkeeper De Gregorio blocked his header with the tip of his foot.


However, what Bernardo Silva failed to do, the Belgian international left winger, Jeremie Doku, achieved in the 9th minute. After an excellent pass from Rodri, Doku avoided Kalulu and sent the ball into the other corner of the net, making it 1-0. Less than three minutes (11') passed and Koopmeiners, taking advantage of a wrong pass from the goalkeeper, Ederson, equalized to 1-1.


For a moment, some may have begun to believe that Juventus would react. They fell out, however, as in the 28th minute, after a cross from the right by Brazilian Mateus Nunes, Kalulu, in his attempt to clear the ball, sent it with his left foot into his team's net (2-1 for City). His teammates tried to console him but he was in a bad state.


Haaland reached 300 goals in his career


At the end of the first half, it started to rain and there were many who feared that the referee might stop the match. However, the weather improved before the second half whistle and everything went smoothly. Guardiola threw Haaland into the "battle" who shortly after in the 52nd minute raised the score to 3-1. With this goal, the Norwegian international forward reached 300 goals in his career and will certainly raise his personal record even further, as he is now completely fine with his injury, which had troubled him and kept him out of action for a long time…

 

Then it was the turn of the English international, Phil Foden to make it 4-1 in the 69th minute and in the 75th minute the young Brazilian, Savinho scored an amazing goal, raising the score to 5-1. And shortly after in the 84th minute the Serbian Vlahovic simply reduced it to 5-2.


In general, Manchester City showed that they will once again be one of the protagonists in the new season’s Premier League but of course also in the ongoing Club World Cup.



Thus, the Citizens stole first place from the "old lady", who fell to second place and will have to face the winner of Group H in the round of 16.
