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.
After watching Manchester City performance against Juventus no one was expecting they are going to face early exit like this from FIFA Club World Cup because they completely outclass Juventus in all departments and score 5 goals even I was also not sure Al Hilal will be able to score 2 goals against them.
As match enters in Extra time still mostly were expecting Manchester City is going to win this game easily, but last 6 minutes was tense, and they fail to bring themselves on level for having draw in this game in three games they conceded 2 goals and in this knockout round they conceded 4 goals it's interesting strategy from Simone Inzaghi who is making his mark at Saudi League. It's going to be interesting can they play like this in coming game against Brazilian club Fluminense for having spot into semifinal of this mega event which will be huge booster for them.
