Man City failed before kicking the British Super Cup

Scoring: Dias 85' - Depay 66', Carrasco 74'

It rained heavily before the ball rolled, making the field slippery, affecting the quality of the ball even though the match was kicked 40 minutes late. Both teams used strong formations, but could not score because Atletico often defended the majority of the home field. The situation changed only after 60 minutes, when the two teams changed almost the entire lineup in turn, making the game more open.

Atletico still played defensively and counter-attacked in the last half hour, but the substitutes on the field like Memphis Depay or Yannick Carrasco in turn shone with great long-range shots. In the 66th minute, Depay turned on the wall with striker Angel Correa and then shot from far away to the near corner to defeat goalkeeper Stefan Ortega. Coach Diego Simeone jumped excitedly, and in the stands of Seoul stadium, many fans wearing Man City shirts also applauded this masterpiece.

Depay continued to contribute with the second goal with a header for Carrasco to counterattack on the left. The Belgian midfielder passed Rico Lewis, turned into the middle and shot from more than 20 meters into the near corner, causing Ortega once again to give up. If you take the opportunity, Atletico can score a few more goals from the counter-attack.

Man City recovered only one goal from the corner, when midfielder Ruben Dias entered the fight and headed the near post to knock out goalkeeper Ivo Grbic. The treble team received their first defeat since winning the Champions League.

Midfielder Kevin de Bruyne once again did not play a minute in friendly matches, although Man City will kick the English Super Cup against Arsenal at Wembley on August 6. And Erling Haaland played 51 minutes in this match, but had almost no chance to score. Pep Guardiola's teachers and students still have a lot of work to do before the new season, when they often start slower than the sprint.
