Foden overshadows Man City's new signings.

In the early hours of June 19th, Manchester City got off to a smooth start at the FIFA Club World Cup, defeating Moroccan representative Wydad AC 2-0 at Lincoln Financial Stadium.

Foden shone in Man City's victory.

Against a weaker opponent, Pep Guardiola didn't hesitate to give opportunities to new signings like Tijjani Reijnders and Rayan Cherki. However, the highlight of the match was Phil Foden, who took less than two minutes to score the opening goal, capitalizing on a rebound from goalkeeper El Mehdi Benabid's save.

Wydad rallied strongly and had a significant chance in the 31st minute, when Thembinkosi Lorch capitalized on a mistake by Vitor Reis to break through, but after a slip, he was forced to pass to Cassius Mailula, who was unable to beat Ederson in a one-on-one situation.

Towards the end of the first half, Man City doubled their lead when Foden provided a sublime assist for Jeremy Doku to score from a tight angle. This goal not only boosted Man City's confidence but also marked Doku's return after a five-month goalless streak.

Despite creating several more chances, including Erling Haaland's shot that hit the crossbar after coming on as a substitute, Man City were unable to score another goal. The match ended on a somber note when young defender Rico Lewis was sent off after a collision with Samuel Obeng.

This victory extends Man City's clean sheet streak at the FIFA Club World Cup to three matches and keeps them on track to win the title with renewed optimism.
