Norway's Erling Haaland led his new team Manchester City to a friendly win over Bayern Munich 1-0 in a match that saw many bizarre events.
The game was held at Lambeau Field in Wisconsin in front of more than 78,000 spectators.
First, the start of the game was delayed due to the hurricane that hit the city.
When the game started, Haaland needed only 12 minutes to score his first goal with his blue shirt.
The former Borussia Dortmund striker took advantage of Jacques Grealish's ground pass to put it in Manchester's net.
After a while, the hurricane hit again; the referee announced the suspension of the game. And the players went to the dressing rooms.
The game resumed after 53 minutes: each half of the game lasted for 40 minutes upon the consent of both teams.
When the game resumed, Haaland stood out and scored a goal that was canceled on the grounds of being offside.
Bayern missed more than one chance of scoring in the first half and was a real threat to the other team.
At the start of the second half, City coach Pep Guardiola put new striker Julian Alvarez instead of Haaland, who missed City's first friendly against Club America a few days ago.
The second half passed with no goals because of the many changes on both sides.
Bayern's new striker Sadio Mane missed the match because he attended Africa's Best Awards a few days ago.
Finishing our pre-season with a win over Bayern in Green Bay! 🙌
