Wydad hanging tough, nearly equalizeEderson has to come to the rescue as — and you're not going to believe this — a back line of midfielder Rico Lewis, attacking midfielder Nico O'Reilly, and untested Vitor Reis has looked suspect.

The match ended in frustrating fashion for City as Rico Lewis was shown a straight red card in the closing stages, when he and Samuel Obeng slid in for a loose ball and Lewis hooked the ball away before catching the Wydad forward in the head as he followed through.

Rico Lewis was sent off late on as Manchester City opened their Club World Cup campaign with a relatively comfortable win over Wydad AC.
