Omar Marmoush Brace and Antoine Semenyo Display Power Manchester City Past Atletico Madrid

SEOUL, South Korea — Manchester City continued their strong pre-season form with a convincing 3-1 victory over Atletico Madrid at the Seoul World Cup Stadium.

Antoine Semenyo was the standout performer, delivering two superb assists for Omar Marmoush as the Premier League champions overturned a first-half deficit with a dominant second-half display under Enzo Maresca.

Atletico took a surprise lead just before the break when 16-year-old Jorge Dominguez finished calmly after a partially cleared corner. City responded strongly after the interval. In the 57th minute, Semenyo showed determination to keep the ball in play, beat his marker and crossed for Marmoush to tap home from close range. Two minutes later the pair combined again, with Marmoush completing his brace.

Rayan Ait Nouri sealed the win in the 90th minute, finishing a pass from Divin Mubama after earlier missing a similar chance.

City controlled large periods of the contest, using width effectively through Semenyo and Savinho. The result completes a successful Asian tour for Maresca’s side, who now turn their attention to the Community Shield against Arsenal next weekend.
