Brazilian three minutes later. —AFP Man City romp to 4-1 win over Real Madrid LOS ANGELES: Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City has spent big to bolster their defence this summer, but showed they will be a force to reckon with at the other end this season in a 4-1 friendly win over Real Madrid on Wednesday. A second-half blitz in front of 93,000 fans at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum saw City secure their first pre-season vic- tory in style. Real were unable to contain Guardiola’s side once they got their noses in front early in the second half. The £28.5 million (32 million euros, $37 million) spent by City on Nicolas Otamendi two years ago now almost seems like small change after City have splashed out around £50 mil- lion each on Kyle Walker, John Stones and Benjamin Mendy over the last 12 months. But after Otamendi pounced from a couple of yards out to smash the ball into the net, the entire complexion of the International Champions Cup encounter changed. Until that point, Real had been the more dangerous side in an end-to- end encounter, with Isco, in particular, causing City’s back five problems with his range of passing. City’s new £32 million keeper Ederson - culpable in last week’s friendly defeat to neighbours Manchester United - was forced to produce smart saves to deny Isco, Karim Benzema and Casemiro, with the latter also heading against the post.

City were twice denied a third by the woodwork, with USA beat Jamaica to win Francisco Casilla producing a stunning finger-tip save to push De Bruyne’s free-kick onto the post and then Leroy Sane smashing the ball against the near post within seconds of sixth CONCACAF Gold Cup entering the field.

He had previously represented Cruzeiro, Barcelona, Benfica and the Brazilian national side in the 2000 Sydney Olympics and 2001 Copa America tournaments. Geovanni wrote himself into Hull City’s history by scoring the Tigers’ first Premier League goal; a spectacular long range strike to equalise against Fulham in a 2-1 win.
