Semenyo sets up Marmoush double as Man City beat Atletico in Seoul

Manchester City came from behind to beat Atletico Madrid 3-1 in a friendly match in Seoul, South Korea. Omar Marmoush scored twice in a three-minute spell in the second half, setting up the goals. The Spanish side took the lead just before half-time when a corner was not properly cleared and Jorge Dominguez scored. Antoine Semenyo equalised in the 57th minute, and Marmoush finished both goals.

The match had a crowd of more than 50,000 at the Seoul World Cup Stadium, with Atletico's South Korean player Lee Kang-in receiving a warm welcome. City sealed the victory with Rayan Ait-Nouri's goal in injury time. The match was City's final game in Asia during pre-season. They lost 3-1 on penalties to Inter Milan in Hong Kong and had already beaten a K League All-Stars team in Seoul.

City's next match is against Arsenal in the Community Shield on 16 August at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff.
