With Gundogan's double, Etcheveri, Haaland, Oscar Bob and Rayan Cherki scoring, Premier League giants Manchester City defeated Al Ain 6-0 in the second round of the 2025 Club World Cup Group G group match. Gundogan said he was very happy to help the team achieve an important victory with his goals.

Manchester City's corner kick in the 8th minute was blocked, and Gundogan took a few steps to adjust the ball and then shot the ball into the goal, helping Manchester City take the lead 1-0. In the 27th minute, Echeverri took a free kick and shot directly into the goal, helping Manchester City continue to lead Al Ain 2-0.

In the first half stoppage time, Akanji was brought down by Rami Rabia in the penalty area, so Manchester City was awarded a penalty kick. Subsequently, Haaland took the penalty kick and scored, helping Manchester City to change the score to 3-0.

In the 73rd minute of the second half, Bernardo Silva passed the ball into the penalty area, and Gundogan shook off the defense and shot the ball, helping Manchester City to continue to expand their lead to 4-0. In the 84th minute, Rodri assisted Oscar Bob to score, making the score 5-0.

With Haaland assisting Rayan Sherki to score a long-range goal in the final stage of the game, Manchester City finally defeated Al Ain 6-0 and advanced to the round of 16 with two consecutive wins.

"I was hesitating between two options," said Manchester City midfielder Gundogan of his first goal in the match. "On the one hand, I wanted to shoot directly like I did at the end, but I also considered whether to pass it to the back post because there would be danger when the ball hits the ground."

"Between the two ideas, the final choice worked perfectly and I'm happy that this goal helped us get off to a good start. I was also very happy to score another goal in the second half. It's always a great feeling to be able to contribute to the team."

On the other hand, Manchester City will face Juventus, the Italian giants, in the next round of the group stage. Currently, Igor Tudor's team ranks first in the Group G standings, with the same points as Manchester City, which is in second place.

Gundogan continued, "From the different stages of the game, our performance was very good. Whether it was in the first half or the latter part of the second half, we performed very well."

"Unfortunately, our pace was a little slow in the second half and we didn't have enough time to catch up with another goal at the end, which would have allowed us to overtake Juventus before the last group match. It's a bit regrettable, but the result of the game speaks for itself. This is a well-deserved victory."
