Hey football fans! Manchester City rocked the FIFA Club World Cup in Orlando with a thrilling 5-2 win over Juventus. The match kicked off with Jeremy Doku putting City on the board in the 9th minute, although Juventus quickly equalized with Teun Koopmeiners just two minutes later.
The momentum shifted in the 26th minute when an own goal by Juventus defender Pierre Kalulu gave City the lead, setting the stage for an explosive performance. In the second half, star striker Erling Haaland—who scored his 300th career goal for the club—along with Phil Foden and Savinho, stepped up and ensured the victory was a blowout. ⚽️🔥
Adding extra excitement, City's midfielder Rodri made his first start since recovering from knee ligament surgery, showing his quality before being substituted in the 66th minute. Despite a late goal from Dusan Vlahovic in the 84th minute, Juventus couldn’t keep pace.
Looking ahead, Manchester City will face the Group H runners-up on June 30 in Orlando, while Juventus is set to compete against the Group H winners on July 1 at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens. Stay tuned for more action-packed football! 🎉
