Foden overshadows Man City's new recruits

Foden shines in Man City's victory.

Against a weaker opponent, Pep Guardiola did not hesitate to give opportunities to new players such as Tijjani Reijnders and Rayan Cherki. However, the highlight of the match was Phil Foden, who took less than two minutes to score the opening goal, after taking advantage of a rebound from goalkeeper El Mehdi Benabid.

Wydad came back strongly and had a significant chance in the 31st minute, when Thembinkosi Lorch took advantage of a mistake by Vitor Reis to break free, but after slipping he was forced to pass to Cassius Mailula, who could not beat Ederson in a one-on-one situation.

By the end of the first half, Man City's lead was doubled when Foden cleverly assisted Jeremy Doku to score from a tight angle. This goal not only helped Man City play more confidently but also marked the return of Doku after a 5-month drought.

Despite creating more chances, including Erling Haaland's shot hitting the crossbar after coming off the bench, Man City could not add to their tally. The match ended in a dismal mood when young defender Rico Lewis was sent off after colliding with Samuel Obeng.

This victory still helps Man City extend their clean sheet streak at the FIFA Club World Cup to 3 and continue their journey to win the title with optimism.
