This was the first game of our Asia 2023 Tour of Japan and Korea – and we began with an exciting victory at the Japan National Stadium.
It wasn’t the best of starts to the game for Pep Guardiola’s men as they went 2-0 down with the clock ticking through to half-time.
Goals from Anderson Lopes and Ken Matsubara put Kevin Muscat’s side in control but City came roaring back before the interval.
John Stones fired home on 41 minutes and then Julian Alvarez levelled matters on 43 minutes to see the sides in at 2-2.
HOW TO FOLLOW CITY’S 2023 ASIA TOUR
After the break, Erling Haaland made it 3-2 with a fine left foot finish on 52 minutes before Rodrigo increased our lead with a deft shot on 72 minutes.
There was a mix-up between Rico Lewis and Stefan Ortega Moreno on 86 minutes and Shion Inoue took advantage by sliding the ball home.
But City weren’t finished and it was that man, Haaland, who completed the scoring, stroking home at the back post after a fine cross by Joao Cancelo.
