Match begins

Referee sounds the whistle and Al Ain take the ball first up. Here we go!

9' GOAL

Ilkay Gundogan fires Man City ahead in just the ninth minute. Gundogan just pushes the ball above the Al Ain goalkeeper to give Man City lead early in this contest. Top start for the former English champions.

16' Claudio Echeverri is receiving treatment on the pitch. He has been injured. City are in control in these early parts of the game so far. They have already taken the lead and are dominating possession as well. Al Ain have tried making a few chances but they are still lacking teeth in their attack.

26' GOAL!

Another one. Man City double their lead. Al Ain looking in all sorts of trouble. Claudio Echeverri gets on the score-sheet with this stunning effort. Man City got a free kick and Echeverri beats the ball with a beautiful curling ball that goes into the edge of the goalpost. Beautiful goal and City are 2-0 up now.

36' Al Ain are being totally outplayed in this game. Man City dominating proceedings. City have dominated possession 77:23 so far.

41' Erling Haaland misses. This was a good ball for him from Bernardo Silva but Haaland's shot is a fraction wide of the left post. Al Ain breath a sigh of relief.

45+4' GOAL

Erling Haaland gets a penalty and he makes no mistake. Man City are 33-0 up as Haaland fires from the spot to slot the ball into the bottom right corner.

Referee had not given the penalty at first but VAR came to Man City' rescue and as we move towards the half-time, Man City have tripled their lead.

Half-time!

Manchester City 3, Al Ain 0

Second half begins with Manchester City getting the ball. A string of substitutions underway as I type.

8' Gundogan I.

27' Echeverri C.

45+5' Haaland E. (Penalty)

Manchester City 3-0 Al Ain

64' Another miss from Erling Haaland. He picks up a rebound in a good position but fails to keep his shot on target. He was really close to goalmouth and this would be considered a definite miss.

70' Two good chances created by Al Ain in the last five minutes to spice up this one-sided contest but both of them only result in a goal kick for Man City.

73' GOAL!

It is 4-0 now. First goal since break and Man City can just not stop finding goals. Ilkay Gundogan gets his brace with a brilliant finish after a good pass from Bernardo Silva who will get an assist for this strike.

84' GOAL!

Another goal. Oscar Boob drives the ball into the bottom right corner from the edge of the box to make it 5-0. Yes 5-0 for Man City.

89' GOAL!

The goals are just ot stopping. Now, Rayan Cherki comes up with a brilliant finish to make it 6-0. Poor Al Ain have been at the recieving end of some top shots which they have been totally unable to defend.

Full-time!

Manchester City (England) 6-0 Al Ain (UAE)

Manchester City 6, Al Ain 0. A proper drubbing handed by the former English champions to the UAE side. Utter domination from Pep Guardiola's men. 21 shots from City and just five from Al Ain. Cityzens also dominated possession big time. Gundogan scored twice and four others put their name on scoresheet as well. Massive win for City.
