City begin title defence with win over Wydad
It goes without saying that Pep Guardiola’s City is the favorite in the battle between two clubs. Favorite City started the fight to retain the title with a predictable victory. The English Premier League club defeated Wydad 2-0 with first-half goals from Phil Foden and Jeremy Douco. City’s discomfort in the match was due to their inability to increase the gap and the red card of Rico Luis towards the end. Rico received a straight red card in the 88th minute for punching Wydad’s Samuel Obeng in the face. A player who receives a red card in the FIFA World Cup is usually banned for one match. However, the punishment can be increased considering the severity of the crime. Which means City will be without Rico in their next Group G match against United Arab Emirates club Al Ain. The match will start at 7 am Bangladesh time on Monday. City will play their final group match against Italian club Juventus. City took the lead in the second minute in Philadelphia today. Foden received the ball from Doku and passed it to Savinio. Savinio’s shot was saved by the goalkeeper, but Foden scored the goal with a return shot.
40 minutes later, Doku received the ball from Foden’s corner and doubled the lead with a close-range shot.
