2:0! Foden broke 5 lunar drought, 2 new players made their debut, Haaland lost a single shot, Manchester City refused to make a comeback

This past season, Manchester City had a poor performance. Not only did they lose the qualification to compete for the Champions League and Premier League championships early, but they did not barely maintain their Champions League place until the end of the season. Because of this, Blue Moon immediately strengthened the team after the transfer market opened, including Nuri, Reindes, Sherki and other new players joined one after another. In the early morning of June 19, Manchester City ushered in the first morning of this year's Club World Cup. Foden and Doku scored 2 goals in the first half. Haaland missed a one-on-one goal, and Manchester City easily won the first victory in the group stage 2:0.

Casablanca Vida is from Morocco. They have won the African Champions League three times in the history of the team and 22 Moroccan League championships. However, there is still a gap in strength between the two sides. Guardiola directly used a formation with obvious "strong offense and weak defense": Serki, Doku, Savigno, Marmush and Foden formed the offensive line; Reindez was a one-midback midfielder, Rico Lewis, Rees, Aker and O'Reilly formed the defense line, Ederson stood in front of the goal; Haaland sat on the bench and stood on standby.

As the referee's whistle sounded, Manchester City scored a goal less than 2 minutes into the opening game; Ak made a long pass from the backcourt to instigate the offensive, Doku made a high-speed forward pass on the left, and Foden received the ball in the penalty area and immediately distributed it to Savignho on the right; the latter made a cross from the bottom and was saved by the goalkeeper, and Foden scored with his left foot, 1:0! The last time Foden scored a goal for Manchester City in an official match was on January 25 this year against Chelsea, and it has been 5 months since then.

In the 9th minute, Savignho and Serki cooperated on the right and made a cross. Marmush made a slight adjustment in front of the penalty area and then shot and slipped past the goal. Casablanca Vida's substantial threat in the first half was not great, and the only chance came from Manchester City's mistake. In the 32nd minute, Reis unexpectedly made a header, Locke broke into the penalty area and failed to shoot. Zemlaui followed up and shot. Ederson made a wonderful save to ensure the goal was not lost. In the 42nd minute, Foden accurately guided the corner kick, and Duoku scored a volley from the back post, 2:0! Like Foden, Doku also broke the five-month goal drought.

In the 54th minute of the second half, Doku successfully counterattacked in the frontcourt and cut into the penalty area and shot a low shot, but Ben Abid saved it. Then Guardiola replaced three players in one breath, Haaland, Rodri and Bob appeared together. Rodri finally made a comeback after a 236-day standoff. In the 74th minute, Bob broke through with the ball in the middle and knocked back. Haaland did not dodge the angle at the front of the penalty area and shot slightly out of the far corner. In the 88th minute, Rico Lewis directly tackled Auburn with a slip-twisted kick. Because he kicked the opponent's face, the referee directly sent off the former without hesitation.

In the 93rd minute, Bob passed through the opponent's defense with a straight pass. Haaland got a one-on-one chance, but the quality of the shot was poor and saved by Ben Abid. Although he missed a one-on-one goal and had one less player to fight, Manchester City still kept the victory until the end of the game; he won the group stage 2:0 and had a good start.
