However, on the resumption of the second period, Erling Haaland made a fine assist for Alvarez to level. After much probing around the Cezch side’s area, City took the lead for the first time in the game.

Alvarez scored his brace and City’s second on the hour mark before fantastic midfielder Rodri extended the advantage.

Super Eagles striker Peter Olayinka was introduced in the 68th minute but could not do much to help the visitors.
