They threw a party 🇲🇦

Moroccans are known, for example, for being passionate about football. And the Wydad fans only reinforced that certainty.

There was no victory, but there was plenty of celebration even before the ball started rolling.

Record for Foden 🔥

The first goal in City's win over Wydad Casablanca came before the second minute. A record for this edition.

After the victory, City's admin made a point of recalling the famous Rocky Balboa statue in Philadelphia.

There was a goalkeeper in the way...

Yassine Bounou had a long spell in Spanish football before arriving at Al-Hilal.

And it was up to him to be the main protagonist in the clash against Real Madrid.

He had already made a great save before preventing the Spanish team from turning the game around by frustrating Valverde.

He would still make another great save to frustrate the biggest Champions League winner.

Storm 'plays against' ⛈️

Pachuca and Salzburg faced off at TQL Stadium, in Cincinnati.

The match was halted in the eighth minute of the second half due to the risk of a storm.

The stoppage lasted about 1 hour and 40 minutes, as heavy rain and winds arrived.

What a debut, huh! 😳

The veteran goalkeeper Rui Patrício, 37 years old, was signed just for the Club World Cup.

And he suffered in his debut wearing the Al Ain shirt.

He conceded five goals to Juventus. Two of them from his fellow countryman Francisco Conceição.
