Manchester City pour it on in rout of Al Ain

Ilkay Gundogan scored twice, Erling Haaland added his first goal of the tournament on a penalty kick and Manchester City thrashed Al Ain 6-0 in Club World Cup Group G play on Sunday night in Atlanta.

On a free kick, 19-year-old Claudio Echeverri scored his first goal in a Manchester City shirt, and Oscar Bobb and Rayan Cherki piled on late in the match. Stefan Ortega needed to make just one save for Manchester City (2-0-0, 6 points).

Group G will come down to Thursday's showdown between Man City and Juventus in Orlando, Fla. They've both secured advancement to the knockouts after beating Al Ain (0-2-0, 0 points) from Abu Dhabi and Wydad AC from Morocco.

Khalid Eisa made four saves but could not keep up with Al Ain's Premier League opponent, which ended the night with a 21-5 advantage in total shots.

Manchester City earned the first corner kick of the game in the eighth minute, and Bernardo Silva's offering found its way to Gundogan on the far side of the box. He chipped a lob shot that Eisa had no prayer of defending and the ball tucked into the corner of the net.

Echeverri's free-kick ripper in the 27th was the result of a foul that earned Al Ain's Facundo Zabala a yellow card. He placed the shot in the top-center of the net above Eisa's head.

Haaland had a similarly easy time when he stepped to the spot five minutes into first-half stoppage. He shot to his right as Eisa dove the wrong way.
