Women’s International Champions Cup: Manchester City earns a stunning comeback win against Atletico Madrid

On a hot and humid Sunday afternoon, Club Atlético de Madrid Femenino fell to Manchester City W.F.C. in the third-place match of the 2019 International Champions Cup Women’s Tournament. After both teams suffered losses in their opening matches, it was Manchester who dug deep and found the strength to win their second match of the tournament.

After ten opening minutes where the two teams felt each other out without generating a shot on target, Madrid took control of the game. Their first shot on goal came in the 16th minute, when Ludmila took the ball to the end line and passed it back into the box to Charlyn Corral.
