But in the second half of overtime, Leonardo scored a final shot, and Riyadh Crescent finally eliminated Manchester City with a score of 4:3 and advanced to the quarterfinals.

After the game, Manchester City winger Doku revealed his voice on social media: "Today's defeat made me feel extremely painful, which is obviously not the end of the game we expected. But I always believe in God's arrangement and will focus on this challenging journey. I am proud of every member of the team, everyone will do their best, and even if they lose. We will continue to move forward with this fighting spirit." Doku performed well in the Club World Cup.
