Haaland leads Manchester City to topple Bayern Munich
The Norwegian striker, Erling Haaland, started his participation in the matches with his new team, Manchester City , in a strong way, and scored a goal to lead the team to a victory (1-0) over Bayern Munich, Germany, at the end of the two American teams’ tour in preparation for the new season.
Haaland scored the only goal of the match in the 12th minute, to open his scoring record with the team through this friendly match that was held at the "Lambio Field" stadium in Green Bay, in the United States.
After this match, the two teams return to their countries in preparation for the start of the new football season, where Manchester City meets Liverpool next Saturday in the Charity Shield match, and Bayern Munich meets Leipzig on the same day for the German Super Cup title.
The start of the match in Green Bay was delayed for about a quarter of an hour due to unforeseen weather conditions, and the match was suspended for a longer period during the first half for the same reason.
But Haaland needed only 12 minutes after the start of the match to open his goalscoring record with Manchester City and lead the team to an important friendly victory over Bayern, in front of 78,128 fans who crowded the stands.
Bayern won its first match in this American tour against DC United (6-2), as the match witnessed the participation of its new attacking star, Senegalese Sadio Mane.
However, Mane, who traveled immediately after the match to Morocco to attend the CAF Awards ceremony, did not play the match against Manchester City.
During the ceremony, Mane was crowned African Player of the Year for 2022, but he did not return after that to the United States, where he meets his Bayern colleagues directly in Munich.
