Manchester City was defeated by Al Hilal by 4-3, after the extensions, and is eliminated from the World Club Championship!
Pep Guardiola “exploded” in the additional minutes of the regular play time (90+7). It was 2-2 on the table, Doku had gone on a promising counterattack, but he was fouled by Ali Lajami and Manchester City's chance to cut the match and qualification in “quarters” was shattered.
Pep Guardiola protested after a foul on Jeremy Doku
The referee? The “central” Jesús Valenzuela did not whistle the foul, what about a yellow card?! Simply whistled … the end of the second half. For Pep Guardiola, incomprehensible!

City's manager left the nerves and ran in the direction of Valenzuela, whom he quarreled for the decision. Among other things, he told the Venezuelan referee “Do you joke?!”. Anyway, I didn't win the cause.
Without reply to Leonardo's goal. Perfect Megasurpriza!
And City had two halucinating extensions. Kalidou Koulibaly brought Al Hilal to the advantage, in the 94th minute, but Foden managed to restore equality, served by Cherki: 3-3 (104).
But at Leonardo's goal (112), the English had no reply. It ended 3-4 and Saudi prepared by Simone Inzaghi sends Manchester City at home! Megasurpriza!
At the 1-0 goal, scored by Bernardo Silva, they had protested Saudi
The phase demanded by Guardiola Na was the only “song”. Referee Jesús Valenzuela was also confronted after the goal by which Bernardo Silva opened the scoring, in the 9th minute. Dissatisfied were Saudi, who accused a hen in that phase.

Reijnders takes a pass to Aït-Noruri, and he made his pick up helping by his right hand before centering in front of the gatewhere the ball rejected by a defender in Gudogan reached Silva, who sent her into the net. The “central” saw no irregularity and granted the goal, despite the protests of Inzaghi's players.
