Pep Guardiola‘s men made an electric start in Saudi Arabia, with Julian Alvarez reacting expertly to chest into the net after Nathan Ake‘s curling strike cannoned off the post after just 43 seconds.
Shortly before the half-hour mark, we doubled the lead, with Phil Foden‘s cross deflecting off Nino’s shin and into his own net.
The Academy graduate got the goal he deserved with just under 20 minutes remaining, latching onto an accurate Alvarez cross to poke into an empty net.
Alvarez blasted in his second under the floodlights with two minutes left to play, precisely finding the bottom corner with a crisp strike.
