Omar Marmoush delivered a second-half brace as Manchester City <\/strong><\/a>came from behind to beat Atl\u00e9tico Madrid 3-1<\/strong> in their pre-season friendly in Seoul, extending Enzo Maresca\u2019s unbeaten start as City manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Atl\u00e9tico youngster Jorge Dom\u00ednguez put the Spanish side ahead in the 43rd minute, but City responded emphatically after the break. Marmoush struck in the 57th and 59th minutes before Rayan A\u00eft-Nouri completed the turnaround in the 90th minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The result gives City another positive performance ahead of a much bigger test: Arsenal vs Manchester City in the 2026 FA Community Shield on Sunday, 16 August<\/strong>. The match will be played at Cardiff\u2019s Principality Stadium, with kick-off scheduled for 3pm BST.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manchester City vs Atl\u00e9tico Madrid: How the Match Unfolded<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

City may have won 3-1, but Atl\u00e9tico landed the first blow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sixteen-year-old Jorge Dom\u00ednguez<\/strong> broke the deadlock shortly before half-time, sending Atl\u00e9tico into the interval with a 1-0 advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

City’s response arrived quickly after the restart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marmoush equalised in the 57th minute<\/strong> before striking again only two minutes later to turn a 1-0 deficit into a 2-1 City lead. Both goals were assisted by Antoine Semenyo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Egyptian’s quick-fire double changed the direction of the contest and provided Maresca with another encouraging attacking option ahead of the competitive campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A\u00eft-Nouri then made the scoreline 3-1 in the 90th minute, with Divin Mubama providing the assist.<\/p>\n\n\n

Marmoush Gives Maresca Another Attacking Weapon<\/h2>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Marmoush’s brace is arguably the biggest individual takeaway from City’s victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pre-season results need to be viewed cautiously, but scoring twice in the space of two minutes against Atl\u00e9tico is a useful confidence boost ahead of competitive football.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also gives Maresca decisions to make in attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

City have several players capable of influencing matches in the final third, and Marmoush showing a clinical touch increases the competition for attacking places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That becomes especially relevant with Arsenal waiting in the Community Shield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

City Remain Unbeaten Under Enzo Maresca<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Atl\u00e9tico victory continued Manchester City’s unbeaten 2026 pre-season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

City opened their Asia tour with a 1-1 draw against Inter Milan<\/a><\/strong> before beating the K League All-Stars 3-1<\/strong> and then recording another 3-1 victory against Atl\u00e9tico Madrid. City’s official pre-season preview confirmed that the Inter fixture was Maresca’s first match after succeeding Pep Guardiola.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their pre-season record now reads:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
