Erling Haaland had an impressive debut for Manchester City. His new club taught Bayern Munich a football lesson in a friendly match in Green Bay, and the great Norwegian, who arrived from Borussia Dortmund for 60 million euros, only needed 12 minutes to score in his first match for the Cityzens – 1-0 (1-0).That goal was also decisive in this match, which represented only a set of random circumstances. The champion of England attacked during the game’s main course, missed a significant number of opportunities and ended the match with 22 shots toward the opponent’s goal. On the other hand, Bayern did not have a single shot on target, with only three shots in total. Julian Nagelsmann’s team will want to forget this match as soon as possible, although it may have arrived at a decisive moment, as a big warning in the final phase of the pre-season.Haaland scored in his own style in the 12th minute, it was an excellent play after the break. De Bruyne cleverly hid his intention on the edge of the penalty area, sent the ball into free space for Jack Grealish, who looked for his teammates with a low sharp cross. Haaland slid onto that ball and sent it behind the helpless Manuel Neuer.The match in Green Bay was also accompanied by bad weather conditions, so the match lasted 80 minutes due to thunderstorms. However, that was enough time to see the current state of affairs between the teams that will compete for the Champions League trophy this season. Bayern were inferior, but a lot could have changed in the 38th minute if Alphonso Davies’ ball had reached Serge Gnabry. However, just a minute later, Haaland found the back of the net again, but his goal was disallowed due to offside.Haaland spent 40 minutes on the field, after which he was replaced by Julian Alvarez. In the second half, a large number of changes were made on both sides, which generally spoiled the game itself and affected its quality. Bayern tried and somewhat succeeded in establishing the initiative on the pitch, but that was all when it came to the match’s final result.##NAJAVA_MECA_6521549##Seven days before the Community Shield match against Liverpool, and two weeks before the start of the Premier League, City showed that they are in proper shape. Bayern have the same period of time ahead of them for the German Super Cup duel against Leipzig, while on August 5 they will visit Frankfurt for the Bundesliga opener.
