Venue: Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

The Manchester City vs Wydad AC clash in the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 will be streamed live on DAZN, FIFA바카라™s global broadcast partner for the tournament in the United States.

Here is how Manchester City and Wydad AC line up ahead of kick-off at the Lincoln Financial Field:

Play gets underway in Philadelphia. Manchester City attacking from left to right and Wydad from right to left in the first half.

Phil Foden! The English midfielder gives Manchester City the perfect start. Savinho's cross is parried by the Wydad 'keeper, right in front of Foden, who makes no mistake to put the Cityzens ahead in the second minute. This is the fastest goal of the tournament so far.

Cassius Mailula is booked for a foul on Savinho in the 16th minute. It's the first yellow card of the match and leads to a free-kick in a potentially dangerous area and Foden takes it. Nothing comes of the move, however.

Up next in the Club World Cup, Real Madrid take on Al-Hilal in a mouthwatering Group H encounter at 12:30am IST. The big development from the game is that Los Blancos' star striker Kylian Mbappe is a doubtful starter for the clash, as he missed training on match eve reportedly due to fever.

Just as Wydad were growing in confidence, Jeremy Doku doubles Manchester City's advantage with a 42nd minute goal. He nudges in Phil Foden's corner at the goalmouth and MCFC are well on their way to victory.

And that's it for the first period. After three minutes of added time, the referee blows the whistle and Manchester City go into the interval content with a two-goal lead.

The second half has begun, and Wydad are already going for long rangers in the quest for an early deficit-cutter. First, Mohamed Moufid shoots wide in the 47th minute, then Thembinkosi Lorch also misses the target in the 48th.

A big cheer goes up at the stadium as Manchester City brings in start forward Erling Haaland and Ballon d'Or winner Rodri, in addition to Oscar Bobb. They replace Phil Foden, Rayan Cherki and Jeremy Doku, respectively.

We are into the 82nd minute now and victory appears near-certain for Manchester City. Wydad don't look like pumping in two goals in the remaining few minutes, though never say never in football.

City's defensive midfielder Rico Lewis has been sent off! He is awarded a straight red card for a tackle on Samuel Obeng that ended up with contact to the face. It is referred to VAR, but the decision stays and Lewis has to go despite his apparent disbelief at the decision.

After six minutes of added time, the referee blows the full-time whistle. Manchester City commence their Club World Cup campaign with a facile 2-0 victory over Wydad AC. Sterner challenges to come, but for now Pep Guardiola's men are on top of group G.
