Omar Marmoush scored twice in a three-minute spell in the second half as Manchester City came from behind to beat Atletico Madrid in a friendly in Seoul, South Korea.
The Spanish side took the lead just before half-time when City failed to properly clear Koke's corner and Morten Hjulmand set up 16-year-old Jorge Dominguez, who shot past goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.
But City equalised in the 57th minute. Antoine Semenyo did well to slide and keep the ball in play before charging into the penalty area down the left flank, and his low cross was converted by Marmoush.
The pair linked up again two minutes later with a near-identical goal - Marmoush finishing comfortably following Semenyo's low cross from the left.
There was a crowd of more than 50,000 at the Seoul World Cup Stadium, and the loudest cheer was reserved for the second-half introduction of Atletico's South Korea international Lee Kang-in.
He had a good chance to make it 2-2 when he was found unmarked near the penalty spot, but Lee could only hit his first-time effort just wide of the post.
Rayan Ait-Nouri sealed the 3-1 victory with City's third in injury time, racing on to Divin Mubama's through ball and striking low and hard into the bottom corner.
This was City's third and final game in Asia in pre-season. They lost 3-1 on penalties to Inter Milan after it had finished 1-1 in Hong Kong on 1 August and then beat a K League All-Stars team 3-1 in Seoul on Wednesday.
City, who defeated Chelsea 1-0 in the FA Cup final in May, are next in action on Sunday, 16 August when they take on reigning Premier League champions Arsenal in the Community Shield at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff.
That match will be vital for Enzo Maresca to give some game time to his players who played in the later stages of the World Cup, as Erling Haaland, Rodri, Rayan Cherki, Jeremy Doku, Marc Guehi, Nico O'Reilly and Elliot Anderson were among those who did not travel to Asia.
