How the game went

After a first half with few thrills, Manchester City took the lead at 8 minutes when Jeremy Doku took the ball to the end line and crossed it low for Semenyo's precise finish.

Nine minutes later, Semenyo found the net again, but the goal was disallowed due to Haaland being offside in the ball's path.

At 53 minutes, Nouri received a backheel pass from Cherki, made a great play down the flank, and returned it to the French forward to extend the lead.
