Match Reports

The plan to get the ball to wingers Savinho and Antoine Semenyo was clear, with the pair taking on their markers and charging for the Atletico box at every opportunity. They were both electric but it was Semenyo who finally delivered the end product, twice setting up Omar Marmoush for close-range finishes in quick succession in the second half.

Semenyo's first assist was magnificent, with the left winger sliding to stop the ball going out for a throw, bouncing up and beating his man in one motion before driving into the area to pick out his striker.

City were trailing to Jorge Dominguez's opener at that point. The Atletico Madrid wonderkid - just 16 years old - poked in after Morten Hjulmand kept a half-cleared corner alive just before half-time. But that goal was against the run of play in an opening period where City created a string of chances.

Tijjani Reijnders was another impressive performer, dovetailing well with Mateo Kovacic in midfield. Wholesale changes from Atletico midway through the second period changed the pattern of the match but City sealed their deserved victory in added time when sub Rayan Ait Nouri made up for a one-on-one miss seconds earlier with a good finish from Divin Mubama's pass.

City have also drawn with Inter Milan and beaten a K-League All Stars side during this tour of Asia and they return to the UK for next weekend's Community Shield in Cardiff looking in good shape for the season curtain-raiser.
