City cruise to victory in Club World Cup opener

Goals from Phil Foden and Jeremy Doku at each end of the first half proved enough as City saw off Moroccan side Wydad Casablanca 2-0 in Philadelphia.

But the Group G encounter ended on a sour note for the Premier League outfit as Lewis was shown a straight red card for catching an opponent in the face in a challenge two minutes from time. The incident changed the mood of what had been a professional performance by City in hot and humid conditions.

Lincoln Financial Field, home of the reigning Super Bowl champions Philadelphia Eagles, was at nowhere near its 67,594 capacity-something which has been a recurring theme in the early days of the tournament - but the atmosphere generated by the 37,446 present was still lively.
