Haaland reaches 300 career goals
Haaland's signature destruction
Coming on in the second half for Omar Marmoush, Haaland needed just 7 minutes and 3 touches to score, raising the score to 3-1 for Man City, his 123rd goal in 145 matches for the Manchester team.
In total, the Norwegian striker has scored 300 goals in 370 games for Molde, RB Salzburg, Dortmund, Man City and the Norwegian national team.
Notably, Haaland reached the 300-goal milestone faster than superstars like Cristiano Ronaldo (554 matches), Lionel Messi (418 matches) and Kylian Mbappé (409 matches), according to ESPN Research statistics.
“I can only say congratulations,” said Pep Guardiola. “To score 300 goals at 24 is incredible. Erling is excellent in tight spaces. I am very happy that he is back and continuing to make his mark.”
Goal party in the Orlando heat
Man City entered the match with great enthusiasm and quickly opened the scoring in the 8th minute thanks to Jeremy Doku after a delicate pass from Rayan Aït-Nouri, a new Algerian player who has been highly rated in recent matches.
Juventus equalized almost immediately after goalkeeper Ederson's mistake allowed Teun Koopmeiners to steal the ball and finish coolly.
However, the Italian side shot themselves in the foot in the 25th minute when defender Pierre Kalulu tapped the ball into his own net from a cross by Matheus Nunes.
After Haaland's goal, Phil Foden and Savinho scored two more goals for Man City. Savinho's thunderous long-range shot in the 79th minute was the highlight of the match. Juventus could only pull back a consolation goal through Dusan Vlahovic in the final minutes.
Guardiola satisfied with his players' performance
Rodri returns, Man City awaits round of 16 opponent
In addition to Haaland's performance, coach Guardiola had more reasons to be satisfied when Rodri returned to the starting lineup for the first time since a knee injury in September. The Spanish midfielder played a solid 65 minutes, made 71 passes and completely controlled the midfield.
Matheus Nunes, in his role as a makeshift right-back, still shone with 2 assists. Meanwhile, Aït-Nouri continued to impress with his persistent runs up the flank, contributing his first assist in a Man City shirt.
With this impressive victory, Man City has won 9 absolute points after the group stage and will stay in Orlando to compete in the round of 16 next Monday. Their opponent will be the second team in Group H, which could be Real Madrid, Al Hilal or Salzburg, depending on the results of the early morning matches on June 28.
The 2025 Club World Cup is heating up, and Man City, with their devastating form, have sent a strong message: they are the top candidate for the championship.
