Marmoush Shines as Manchester City Defeats Atletico Madrid

In a friendly match held at the Seoul World Cup Stadium, Manchester City defeated Atletico Madrid 3-1, with Omar Marmoush scoring two goals in a three-minute period during the second half. Atletico Madrid initially took the lead just before half-time when Jorge Dominguez, set up by Morten Hjulmand after a corner from Koke, scored past City goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.

Manchester City equalized in the 57th minute when Antoine Semenyo's low cross from the left was converted by Marmoush. Just two minutes later, Marmoush scored again with a similar play, finishing Semenyo's cross.

Rayan Ait-Nouri sealed the victory with a third goal in injury time, striking low into the bottom corner after receiving a through ball from Divin Mubama. The match attracted over 50,000 spectators, with notable moments including a missed opportunity by Atletico's Lee Kang-in.

This match was City's final game in Asia during their pre-season, following a 1-1 draw against Inter Milan on August 1 and a 3-1 win over a K League All-Stars team.
