The Japanese defense lasted almost an entire half during this meeting. It’s only at 46e minute that she ended up losing, following an own goal from Hooibraten. At 0-1, the spaces became available and the Japanese team had much more difficulty resisting their prestigious opponent of the day.
Returning from the locker room, the Citizens were able to calmly add to the score. Matteo Kovacic (52e) and Bernardo Silva (59e) gave the success of theirs a scale more in line with the level of difference between the two teams. And the bill could have been even heavier for Urawa.
With this great victory, Manchester City joins Fluminense in the final. The Brazilian team had beaten the Egyptians of Al Ahly the day before in the other half. Next Saturday, the prestigious club from the northwest of England will try to collect the only major trophy missing from its rich record.
