The Manchester United team-mates went head-to-head at Stade de Marrakech in Morocco on Sunday night, in a much-anticipated showdown between two favourites for the cup.
A relatively quiet first half was headlined by some intense action and Cameroon debutant Christian Kofane shooting against the woodwork, before things opened up after the break.
Amad lofted a wonderful left-footed strike into the corner of the net from the edge of the area, after 51 minutes, in front of a watching Kylian Mbappe in the stand.
