Claudio Echeverri scored for Manchester City in their 6-0 victory over Al Ain on Matchday 2 of the Club World Cup.
The 19-year-old Argentine started the match for Pep Guardiola’s side and was substituted at halftime. Early in the game, Echeverri suffered an unfortunate foul that left him on the ground and requiring medical attention for several minutes. It is speculated that this was the reason for his substitution at the break.
The former River Plate man scored his first goal for Manchester City just minutes after that foul, with a spectacular strike over the wall that gave his team a 2-0 lead.
Echeverri’s Manchester City will play for the top spot in Group H against Nicolás González’s Juventus next Thursday, aiming to avoid facing Real Madrid in the Round of 16.
