Erling Haaland’s first on-field appearance in a Manchester City shirt saw him score his first goal since his £85.5m transfer from Borussia Dortmund.
Wasting no time as Man City faced Bayern Munich in a friendly Saturday, Haaland dove in to tap a Jack Grealish pass past Manuel Neuer just 12 minutes into his first appearance with the English champions.
The friendly, played at the American soccer cathedral that is Lambeau Field, was delayed due to lightning, and in fact began a second, lengthier lightning delay immediately after Haaland’s goal as storms moved through the area. It marks the first-ever goal scored at the venue, as the NFL stadium has never actually hosted soccer before.
