00:00Only two of this 11 started against Al-Hilal in that Club World Cup game.
00:08Haaland was one of them, Ait Nouri was the other.
00:12And you can see that the two sets of players are coming together.
00:16There's a unified message of celebration that we're all part of the City football group.
00:24Given the opportunity to move on, now he is back.
00:28And City get the first opportunity for the locals to get excited.
00:33And forward comes Brunori in full fitness.
00:37It'll clip in as well, which was useful.
00:40And the layoff wasn't bad either.
00:42They've just changed it.
00:43It's an out-swinger on the header.
00:45Inches by the post.
00:47Well, that caught City out.
00:49And it could easily have been 1-0 Palermo.
00:52Yeah, I mean, it's a really good ball in and setting this ball that goes over.
00:55He did infield, Ait Nouri dwelt on it, lost it.
00:59And the clip in was dangerous.
01:01And City are stretched here.
01:02And the ball's gone out for a goal kick.
01:04But it wasn't too far away from Segre.
01:08Yeah, I mean, just a game.
01:10Certainly during his time in Ligue 1 in France.
01:14And also for drives forward, brings in Marmouche.
01:18Shot deflects.
01:19And...
01:19And...
01:20Well, we did well to prevent the corner.
01:23Just looking at Haaland there.
01:25I think he's just content of his team here.
01:28I think it was neat.
01:28Now, here comes another City legend.
01:31Marmouche takes a tumble.
01:33Try to get through the legs of the backpedalling Jassi.
01:38Scoring with a header from Cecharoni just wide.
01:42Lewis takes a tumble on the edge of the area.
01:44Hidable tier throughout 25-26.
01:48And here's Cherki, who I'm sure will see plenty.
01:50Again to Ait-Nori and on by Cherki.
01:54But it's too firm.
01:55And it ends in the possession of the Senegalese.
02:00Cecharoni.
02:02And a foul by Nico.
02:03And a free kick to Palermo.
02:06Yeah, he's just trying to nick in front of the player there.
02:09Unfortunately, he's just caught.
02:11The other 22 have travelled.
02:16Camalo is off Sezma-Mouche.
02:24Just right away from Ait-Nori.
02:26A bit tight in there.
02:28But the Blues trying to get themselves out.
02:30They can't.
02:31And in the end there's a...
02:33Yes, do have that.
02:34At the moment we've got a free kick.
02:36Which is driven too firmly by Ait-Nori.
02:39Goes out for a goal kick.
02:41Now Cherki.
02:47Trying to thread it through.
02:50Target's still in there.
02:53Did it hit a Palermo play?
02:55No, it didn't.
02:55It's a goal kick.
02:58Not too sure which player it was.
03:00Mayling Mamouche for the free kick initially.
03:02Or somehow, Haaland.
03:05That's on towards Barben.
03:07Well, that's a bookable offence really.
03:10A tug of the shirt from Cecharoni.
03:13At the edge of the area.
03:16Cherki's delivery was...
03:18Ranocchia.
03:19Flags up for offside against Polenpaulo.
03:24Polenpaulo is disappointed.
03:27Cleared by Augello.
03:32Back in by Nico.
03:33And here come City now on the counter.
03:36O'Reilly tried to help it on to Mamouche.
03:39Haaland on the edge and scores.
03:42First sight of goal for Erling Haaland.
03:45He works it from left boot to right.
03:48And the slide rule finish.
03:51Normal service resumes.
03:52It is, I mean, it's the first kind of sniff really.
03:55He's out of...
03:56He's had of goal.
03:57Initially, I'm thinking as he's touched,
04:00maybe he's just been a little bit too far,
04:01but he hits it very, very quickly.
04:03I think it goes through the defender's legs.
04:05But whilst he hasn't been involved that much,
04:08he's always kind of made himself available.
04:10And it seems sometimes get a little bit frustrated
04:12because the ball sometimes wasn't coming to him.
04:15But when it has got up to him,
04:16particularly the long bar, he's got up.
04:18His incredible influence with Jürgen Klopp.
04:21But Liverpool, as Poyan Palo goes in,
04:24Trafford is there to gather simply.
04:27Poyan Palo is frustrated.
04:28He couldn't get more on it.
04:30Yeah, I think Trafford's obviously just thought...
04:32...about the arrival of Pep Leinders
04:34in the City coaching staff.
04:38To Hikun Palermo with Brunori.
04:43It's well-defended.
04:44Football.
04:45This are an end product.
04:46Haaland.
04:47And then prodded over by Ait Nouri.
04:49The football was intricate.
04:51And in the end,
04:51the finish not quite as good as what had preceded it.
04:54But that was lovely football.
04:55It was, yeah.
04:56Some great little interplay.
04:58Good little runs.
04:59Just comes to Ait Nouri.
05:01Just a little bit.
05:02Clipping towards Stones, here's Stones, wow, he stayed up and in the end it came to him.
05:09I think he tried to prod it to Xerchi but that was ambition from Stones.
05:15Yeah, you could see he was trying to join.
05:17Excited, sniffing an opportunity, but Trafford is there to grab it confidently.
05:24Yeah, I think he'd be pleased with that.
05:26Well, the first one who just would be like, I don't care, give us it.
05:32Xerchi there trying to curl it into the path of Marmouche.
05:38It's a real talent though, isn't it?
05:40I mean, your natural instinct is not to play it to a player to express themselves again.
05:46Just comes Kuzunov and he thinks it should be a goal kick but it is a Palermo corner.
05:53Thanks as well for the pulse of the hill.
05:55Now here comes Haaland, he's got an option in Marmouche.
05:58Oh, he tried to thread it through.
06:01He could see the run, he could see the angle pass but so too did Trafford.
06:05To see the best of him next season, this season, starting next week as there he is again to clear.
06:13On towards Haaland, good idea, glanced on by Haaland.
06:18Working some space, now Ait Nouri, great ball in.
06:22Cleared by Cekaronek.
06:23All over the top.
06:26It's going to be cut out by Kuzunov and he's there to...
06:30In the way.
06:35Kuzunov wins it back, on to Bob, is he onside?
06:39Yes he is!
06:40And off the line, Xerchi's thought he'd scored.
06:42I think Jassi was there to get a foot in and Diakite clears it.
06:46Yeah, I mean it's a big chance to see.
06:48In front of Xerchi, but then Bob pops in, he's got opportunities, he's trying to thread it through to Haaland.
06:54Silver on his outside, lovely ball inside instead.
06:58I think I've got to run out at some stage.
07:02And Ruben Diaz has also come on, as well as Nathan Aki, as well as Manuela Kan.
07:06Good players in that midfield.
07:08Kuzunov has taken short this time by Palermo.
07:12Cleared high expectations of the grinders, but I'll tell you what, I think we've got ourselves an absolute Palermo though.
07:20You can see at the bottom of the picture who's gone off, but it's easier to see.
07:25The left side, as he wants to do.
07:27Ooh, was he caught?
07:29He says he wasn't.
07:32Goal kick.
07:33Yeah, I didn't think it was a penalty.
07:35I think, yeah, it might be shoulder to shoulder.
07:38But, just sort of said the things that he's been doing.
07:42Very impressive.
07:47Lovely play from Doku.
07:50City will win it back.
07:52Bernardo Silva, Savino.
07:55When he tried to find Reinders.
07:58Plenty forward Palermo.
08:00As Edison clasps the ball to his gelo.
08:03Poyampalo.
08:05Away by Ake.
08:11As Savino lays it off to Reinders.
08:14And Reinders pops it into the net.
08:16We talked about the runs he makes.
08:18We talked about the fact that he loves to supplement the forward line.
08:23And he just popped it into the back of the net.
08:25City lead 2-0.
08:26And it looks as though it's the cue for Devine Moukasa to come on.
08:30But that's a super goal.
08:32Yeah, it is.
08:32I mean, we were talking about him.
08:34We've mentioned him two or three times in this second half.
08:36He's still got a little bit of defending to do and it goes over the top.
08:42That's the closest that Palermo have come to a goal.
08:45One of their substitutes who came on.
08:47Le Douaron.
08:48And he just toed it over the bar.
08:52It's a great ball in.
08:54But it's a good run.
08:54Pedal in because the Blues are stretched again.
08:58Good sliding challenge by Diaz.
09:00And it's turned over the top of the crossbar on the swivel by Palermo.
09:04Yeah, it's a good ball in.
09:06Diaz does very well with this slide.
09:10In towards Rinders again.
09:14And because they've got Rinders with that mindset of driving forward,
09:18it allows Moukasa to have a bit of a free roll himself.
09:22It does, yeah, because he is making those runs.
09:25Outside goes Matthias Nunes.
09:27And it's well caught by Gormis.
09:30Good run by Nunes.
09:32Defenders are quite well, actually.
09:37Too close to Ederson.
09:40And here's Rinders again getting in.
09:42Good save by Gormis.
09:43Ducky can't get to the rebound.
09:45And the referee says there's a foul.
09:47But there it is again.
09:48Rinders showing his incredible desire to get into the box.
09:53Such a threat.
09:54And I mean, he's obviously clearly got a very, very good engine.
09:57He reads the game really well.
09:59As I said, he must be...
10:00And, well, there's plenty in there.
10:02Moukasa on the outside.
10:04Doku goes alone.
10:05His shot was blown.
10:06I'm ready.
10:07That's a great ball.
10:08The flag has stayed down.
10:10And as Savino has put it wide.
10:12Great ball by Gundogan.
10:14Savino wide of the post.
10:16Yeah, he's got a score.
10:18I mean, as you said, the flag had stayed down.
10:20Ahead of that, maybe you'll listen to Rinders because he scored for the second time.
10:25Having nearly scored earlier, he could have had a hat-trick.
10:29He's got two.
10:30And City have a 3-0 lead.
10:32And the more you watch Rinders, the more you say to yourself, he is a gem.
10:37Absolutely.
10:38I mean, again, it's just that late run.
10:42That direct run.
10:43Nobody's picking him up.
10:45I'm pretty sure if we go back, I bet he stood next to the Primero player initially.
10:50And he just runs away from him.
10:52He's not shouting at his teammates.
10:53The Primero player to pick him up.
10:55He's away.
10:56Just comes inside.
10:57Just...
11:07Just comes inside.
