Manchester City defeated Wydad AC 2–0 in the Club World Cup as Pep Guardiola looks to repeat as champions despite the format change.

Phil Foden stole the show in the first half playing a part in both goals. Man City, as expected, dominated possession for much of the game, but were surprisingly at risk of conceding a couple of times. Wydad weren't afraid of playing their game and executing a plan. Though, they lacked end product and came away with nothing from the game. Guardiola will want to see an improved performance next time out.
