City demolishes Al Ain to reach last 16

ATLANTA — Manchester City booked its place in the Club World Cup last 16 with an emphatic 6-0 rout of Al Ain in Atlanta on Sunday.

In a match dubbed the "Abu derby", with City owner and United Arab Emirates Vice-President Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan's side facing off against that of his elder brother, Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, president of Al Ain and also the country, the Premier League side was relentless in victory.

Ilkay Gundogan put City ahead, before starlet Claudio Echeverri netted his first goal for the club with a freekick and Erland Haaland slotted in a penalty for City's third.
