Manchester City 3:1 Atlético Madrid — Match Report

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

Manchester City beat Atlético Madrid 3-1 in a Club Friendly, with Antoine Semenyo’s creative spark in midfield earning him the standout rating of 8.6 despite not scoring. Jorge Domínguez had put Atlético ahead just before the break, but City’s second-half surge flipped the contest entirely.

The turning point came in a frantic three-minute spell: Omar Marmoush equalised in the 57th minute with Semenyo providing the assist, then struck again two minutes later, again set up by Semenyo, to turn the match on its head. Rayan Aït Nouri added a late third in the 90th minute from Divin Mubama’s pass, while Morten Hjulmand’s yellow card for Atlético and Joško Gvardiol’s late booking for City were the only disciplinary blemishes.

On the numbers, City controlled possession at 53% and fired 16 shots to Atlético’s 12, though the visitors actually earned more corners with five to three. City were the better side in both halves, and their efficiency in that decisive spell proved the difference. Semenyo was the standout for his role in both Marmoush goals, earning the top rating of 8.6 from a midfield position.
