Yassine Bounou had more spot-kick-saving heroics up his sleeve. They helped Al Hilal get a point against Real Madrid C.F. their courageous performance warranted. Another goalkeeper – one making his professional debut, no less – grabbed the headlines as FC Salzburg edged CF Pachuca.

Elsewhere, Phil Foden inspired Manchester City to victory over Wydad AC, and Kenan Yildiz’s glorious goal helped Juventus FC thrash Al Ain FC.

Manchester City 2-0 Wydad AC

Group G
Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia

Rico Lewis was dismissed late on, but another product of City’s academy had already done sufficient damage by then. The sublime Phil Foden scored the first and set up the second to get Pep Guardiola’s side up and running.

Real Madrid C.F. 1-1 Al Hilal

Group H
Hard Rock Stadium, Miami

Yassine Bounou is the scourge of Spaniards. His two spot-kick saves snatched Morocco a stunning elimination of Spain in the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™ quarter-finals, and his late penalty denial from Federico Valverde clinched Al Hilal an unforeseen point against Madrid.

Stats

• Phil Foden scored the fastest goal of this tournament after just 111 seconds. Curiously, Manchester City registered the quickest goal in FIFA Intercontinental Cup™ history in 2023: Julian Alvarez’s 40-second strike in the final against Fluminense FC.
• Al Hilal became the first team to deny Real victory in a FIFA tournament since Necaxa drew 1-1 in the third-place play-off of the FIFA Intercontinental Cup™ in 2000. Iker Casillas, Fernando Hierro, Roberto Carlos, Fernando Redondo, Raul, Fernando Morientes, Samuel Eto’o and Nicolas Anelka were part of Vicente del Bosque’s squad. Thereafter, Los Blancos won 11 successive games in that competition.
• Salzburg’s Christian Zawieschitzky, at 18 years and 47 days, became the youngest goalkeeper to make an appearance at this tournament. He is a staggering 26 years younger than his Fluminense counterpart Fabio.
• Pachuca’s Bryan Gonzalez scored the first free-kick of the FIFA Club World Cup.
• Karim Onisiwo, with the 39th goal of this competition, became the first No9 to score at it.
