Favored Manchester City outmuscled Italian giants Juventus Turin in a gripping Club World Cup duel, securing the group lead with a thrilling 5:2 victory. As the heavyweights advance, one will undoubtedly meet Real Madrid in the Round of 16.
Previously assured berths in the Round of 16, the encounter served to determine Group G's first-place finisher. Juventus, confronting their inaugural defeat of the tournament, faced the harsh reality of their loss.
Jeremy Doku (9.) propelled Manchester City into the lead, with Rodri, the 2024 Ballon d'Or recipient, making his first start since recovering from a severe knee injury involving an ACL tear suffered against Arsenal last September.
Juveers retaliated through Teun Koopmeiners (11.), only to see Pereira Kalulu (21.) inadvertently score an own goal. The second half saw Man City's Erling Haaland extend the lead to 3:1 (52.), followed by Phil Foden (69.) and Savinho (75.) showcasing stellar efforts from distant shooting positions. Dusan Vlahovic scored the final goal (84.).
DAZN analyst Callum Wilson was significantly impressed by the reigning English champions' remarkable resurgence from last season's struggles: "They exhibited overwhelming dominance throughout! It's unlikely anyone anticipated the lopsided nature of this matchup prior to its kickoff," stated the Newcastle United player. "Man City delivered some truly astonishing goals tonight; their pass accuracy alone explains the lopsidedness of this game."
Ilkay Gundogan's brace against Al-Ain FC (6:0) had already propelled Manchester City into the round of 16. Gundogan's departure, replaced by Rodri in the 66th minute, was not without consequence. Simultaneously, Al-Ain bested Moroccan club Wydad Casablanca 2:1 (1:1) in a parallel encounter.
