Manchester City was enough for the first half to bend this Sunday by 6-0 a Al Ain Emiratí at the close of the second date of group G of the Club World Cup and, incidentally, ensure a quota in the round of 16.
In the absence of a day, six points have Juventus and City, although the Italian team has scored more goals.
The citizens of Pep Guardiola made themselves feel very early in the Mercedes Benz Stadium in Atlanta, and it was the German midfielder Ilkay Gundagan who put the 1-0 on the board by throwing an elevated ball in the area that surpassed the goalkeeper Khalid Eisa before the harassment of the Norwegian giant Erling Haaland.
Eighteen minutes later he reached the Argentine youth Claudio 'Diablito' Echeverri the time to start writing his best page so far in the Celeste Club of Northern England, which today dressed in white with a bicolor strip. Echeverri masterfully executed a free kick that the goalkeeper Eisa barely accompanied with her eyes.
The third goal came in the 45th minute after a play in which the judge of the match, the Algerian Mustapha Gorbal, granted a penalty for a subjection of the Ramy Rabia defense about Gundogan, and Haaland changed it by goal.
In the second half, the monarchs of the UEFA Champions League in 2023 did not raise their foot from the accelerator.
But the Emiratis had an EISA that this time was erected as a true wall, especially in the 63rd minute, when he held a double auction in Haaland's small area.
But that apparent wall was cracked again in the 73rd minute, when Bernardo Silva elegantly leaked a ball to Gundagan, who did not forgive the goalkeeper and signed 4-0.
The party seemed to be tried, but Oscar Bobb made a double hitch and finished off the already poor Emirati resistance for 5-0 in the 83rd minute.
And there was more. A minute for the end of the regulatory time a shot by Ryan Cherki put the cherry on the cake before EISA's impassive look.
With the victory, those of Guardiola reached six points and will face next Thursday's game against Juventus with the purpose of resolving the order at the top of the group.
L AIN and the Moroccan Wydad will fight not to leave the Club World Cup without their locker in zeros.
