Juventus 2-5 Man City (CWC)

Manchester City delivered a commanding performance to dismantle Juventus 5-2 in their final FIFA Club World Cup group stage clash at the Camping World Stadium in Orlando. Jeremy Doku opened the scoring early, only for Teun Koopmeiners to capitalize on a rare Ederson error and level the match. However, City quickly regained control through a Pierre Kalulu own goal, and the second half saw the Premier League champions shift into high gear.

Erling Haaland marked his 300th career goal with a close-range finish, before Phil Foden and Savinho added further gloss to the scoreline with clinical strikes. Dušan Vlahović netted a late consolation for Juventus, but the result was never in doubt as Pep Guardiola’s side topped Group G with a perfect record and sent a clear message to their rivals
