As the only second Swiss: Akanji is in the final of the Club World Cup with ManCity

1/2
Manuel Akanji is only the second Swiss to reach the final of the Club World Cup.

The English with Manuel Akanji won the second semi-final against the Japanese Urawa Reds 3-0 in the Saudi port city of Jeddah.

Even without Norwegian top scorer Erling Haaland, who is still missing due to injuries, the European Champions League winner shows no problems against his Asian counterpart from the Japanese metropolis Saitama. An own goal from Haaland’s compatriot Marius Hoibraaten in the final minutes before half-time and goals from Mateo Kovacic and Bernardo Silva after half-time made the difference. Akanji played in Manchester City’s defense for over an hour before making way for Josko Gvardiol shortly after the 3-0 win.

On Friday, Akanji is expected to become the second Swiss after Xherdan Shaqiri to play in a Club World Cup final. Manchester City, like opponent Fluminense, is aiming for its first victory in the tournament, which has been held annually since 2005. (SDA)
