Manchester City achieved a commanding 3-0 victory over Palermo during their final pre-season match. Erling Haaland opened the scoring with a precise right-footed strike. Tijjani Reijnders scored twice in the second half, benefiting from assists by Savinho and Divine Mukasa. Despite a few chances for Palermo, City's midfield dominance led to consistent scoring opportunities. Changes made in the second half proved effective, as the fresh lineup continued to threaten the opposition's defense until Reijnders sealed the match with a third goal.
Erling Haaland received a pass from Rico Lewis inside the box and calmly slotted a right-footed effort into the bottom left corner.
In the 59th minute, Savinho skipped past his marker on the right and pulled the ball back for Reijnders, who found space in the middle and swept a right-footed strike into the bottom left corner.
Once again, it was Reijnders in the right place at the right time. Divine Mukasa slipped him through in the centre of the box.
City's midfield dominated possession, and chances followed. Rayan Ait-Nouri and John Stones both saw efforts blocked inside the area before half-time.
