Manchester City’s quick first goal greatly reduced the burden of the final. Fluminensee was embarrassed by the strong forward pressure. Except for Marcelo, he could not properly de-pressurize. Of course, Fluminensee’s counterattack was also sharp. In the 16th minute of the first half, Cano played to induce a penalty, but it was canceled due to an offside decision.

Manchester City scored an additional goal in the 27th minute. Foden’s cross hit Nino and went into the net. Following the first goal, the team was lucky enough to score an additional goal and ran away 2-0. 스포츠토토

In the 52nd minute of the second half, Foden penetrated into the door and hit a shot in a free kick situation, but Fabio saved again.
