Phil Foden, the star player of Manchester City, kicked off their Club World Cup campaign in impressive fashion, scoring the fastest goal of the tournament in their 2-0 victory over Wydad AC at the home of the Philadelphia Eagles[1]ston>.
The English midfielder capitalized on a parried cross from Savinho to secure a goal after just 1 minute and 54 seconds on the clock[2]. This was Foden's first goal in 20 matches, and it marked the start of a dominant performance by City[3].
Foden's strike set the tone for an exciting match, and his team looked poised to build on their lead. His England teammate Rico Lewis, unfortunately, did not enjoy his time in the City of Brotherly Love as much as Foden, receiving a red card for a reckless challenge on Samuel Obeng[3]**.
The clash between the two teams was expected to be a favorable opportunity for City to bounce back from a disappointing 2021 season in the eyes of the fans[4]. Although Wydad AC proved to be a tough opponent, City's superior quality shone through in the end.
City striker Erling Haaland, a recent signing, came close to scoring a third goal late in the match but hoisted his chance high and wide[4]. The match ended with a healthy crowd of nearly 37,500 watching on as the City team celebrates its victory.
Despite Lewis' red card, Manchester City was able to see the game out and secure the win. They will continue their Club World Cup campaign with hopes of defending their title and regaining their form from previous seasons[4]*.
