Al-Hilal Stuns Manchester City in Club World Cup Thriller

A dramatic game saw Al-Hilal triumph over Manchester City with a 4-3 victory in extra time at the Club World Cup.

Saudi Arabia’s Al-Hilal pulled off a stunning upset against Manchester City, winning 4-3 in a thrilling Club World Cup match that extended into extra time.

After an early goal from Bernardo Silva, which came amidst controversy due to a possible handball, Al-Hilal quickly found their footing. Six minutes into the second half, Marcos Leonardo scored the equalizer.

Not long after, Al-Hilal surged ahead with a goal from Malcom, only for Erling Haaland to balance the score for City just three minutes later. Extra time saw Kalidou Koulibaly give Al-Hilal a lead, which was responded to by Phil Foden from City. In the dying moments, Marcos Leonardo secured victory for Al-Hilal with a decisive goal, marking a significant moment for the Saudi club.

This match showcased both teams’ offensive talents, with City dominating possession and shots but ultimately falling short. It concludes a trophy-less season for City under Pep Guardiola for the first time since his arrival in 2016, while Al-Hilal progresses to face Fluminense in the quarterfinals.
