On July 1, 2025, Manchester City suffered a sensational 4-3 extra-time defeat to Saudi Arabia’s Al-Hilal in the FIFA Club World Cup, ending their tournament as favourites. The thrilling match in Orlando showcased Al-Hilal’s resilience and City’s defensive lapses.

Manchester City took an early lead through Bernardo Silva’s ninth-minute goal, despite Al-Hilal’s protests over a possible handball by Rayan Aït-Nouri. City dominated the first half, with goalkeeper Bono making crucial saves to deny Savinho, Ilkay Gündogan, and Josko Gvardiol. However, Al-Hilal roared back after halftime, with Marcos Leonardo equalising 44 seconds in and Malcom scoring in the 52nd minute for a 2-1 lead. Erling Haaland levelled the score, but Phil Foden’s volley matched Kalidou Koulibaly’s 94th-minute header. Leonardo’s 112th-minute strike sealed Al-Hilal’s victory.

Leonardo, aged 22, delivered a career-defining performance, scoring twice, while Bono’s 10 saves, including critical stops, earned him accolades. Former City player João Cancelo contributed to Al-Hilal’s attack. For City, Haaland and Foden showed fight, but defensive errors, including Akanji’s missed chance, proved costly. Pep Guardiola’s side, despite their dominance, couldn’t capitalise on opportunities, marking a rare early exit.
