I really didn't expect Al-Hilal to be able to make City struggle. In fact, in the previous 3 matches City played very well, 13 goals in 3 matches showed that City was so dominant. However, City had to play the match against Al Hilal until extra time. The result was not good for City, they had to go home early and lost to a team that was not favored to win this match. The underdog teams managed to change the scenario, Inter also lost to Fluminense who was also not a favored team. Whether Monterrey and Palmeiras will also provide a surprise later? this will be interesting to watch.
I was also surprised how that match turned out, how a big team like Manchester City were trailing Al Hilaal throughout the match even when all their key players were in the game. I was thinking it will be a smooth victory for Manchester City, but they even lost the match for which I'm happy that the hard work of Al Hilaal paid off. I would have been very angry if Manchester had won the match because it would have meant there is no reward for hard work. Congratulations to Al Hilaal because they deserve the victory.
