What a last-16 tie, what a triumph for Al-Hilal, what crushing disappointment for Manchester City who, as the contest aged, gradually lost shape and tempo and crumpled in this shock of the Club World Cup.

Saudi stunner Al-Hilal expose old problems for Guardiola in shock win

The killer blow of a breathless extra time featuring three goals was administered by Marcos Leonardo in the 112th minute. Renan Lodi curved a cross in from the left, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic rose and headed, Ederson palmed the ball out and the Brazilian forward struck his second goal of the contest. Leonardo headed for a corner flag to begin the Al-Hilal party and the camera panned to Phil Foden, who, eight minutes before, seemed to have saved City.

That had been a magical moment, with the 25-year-old unwilling to allow City to be knocked out by Kalidou Koulibaly's earlier extra-time strike. Rayan Cherki looked up and spun a lob over Al-Hilal's defence for Foden. Running on, the No 47 sculpted a volley across the goalkeeper, Yassine Bounou, and into the net from the tightest of angles to make it 3-3. It was his 100th City goal, on his 319th appearance. On a sweltering night, City had conceded four minutes into the added 30 when Koulibaly leapt and beat Ederson from Rúben Neves's corner.
