Manchester City secured a strong-willed victory over Atletico in Seoul thanks to a brace from Marmus

Manchester City ended their pre-season in Asia in style by defeating Atletico Madrid at the FIFA World Cup Stadium. More than 50,000 spectators witnessed the intense confrontation, the main character of which was Omar Marmush. His lightning double in the second half turned the tide of the game and helped the team to victory. The first half of the meeting was competitive, but it was the Spanish team that managed to take the lead just before the break. City failed to clear the ball reliably after Koke's corner kick: Morten Uhlmann navigated the situation and passed to 16-year-old Jorge Dominguez, who shot well past the city's goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma. However, in the second half of the meeting, the English club radically changed the situation on the field. In the 57th minute, Antoine Semenho made a wonderful pass on the left flank, kept the ball in the game and executed a cross into the penalty area, which Omar Marmus confidently converted. Just two minutes later, the Semenho-Marmoush connection worked again, creating an almost identical goal — another low pass from the left and Marmouche's accurate shot put City ahead. The loudest ovation from the stands was heard when Lee Kang-in, a player of the South Korean national team, entered the field as part of Atlético. He had a great opportunity to equalize when he was unguarded near the penalty mark, but the ball after his volley went just wide of the post. Ryan Ait-Nuri put the finishing touches on the match. In stoppage time, he quickly took advantage of a pass from Divin Mubama and with a strong low kick into the corner of the goal, he recorded the final score — 3:1. The game was the team's third and final pre-season game in Asia. The results of the tour are as follows: August 1 (Hong Kong): Draw 1-1 with Inter in regular time (lost 1-3 in the penalty shoot-out). Wednesday (Seoul): 3-1 win over K-League All-Stars. Today (Seoul): 3-1 win over Atletico. Now Enzo Mareska's wards are waiting for a match for the Super Cup of England against the current champion of the Premier League — Arsenal of London. The game will take place on Sunday, August 16. We will remind that City won the right to play in this match in May, beating Chelsea in the final of the English Cup with a score of 1:0. This match will be vital for Maresca as he needs to give some game practice to the players who participated in the later stages of the World Cup. Erling Holland, Rhodri, Ryan Sherkey, Jeremy Doku, Mark Gay, Nico O'Reilly and Elliott Anderson were among those who missed the Asian tour and are only now joining the squad.
