Man City v Urawa Reds LIVE: Result and reaction from Club World Cup as City cruise into final

29 mins: Nice dribble by Foden as he skips past three men before the ball is nicked away on the edge of the box. It comes out to Rodri though and he rifles a shot from 25 yards. A deflection sends it not far wide.

Grealish’s corner only punched away by Nishikawa but Rodri’s sidefooted shot is then bravely blocked. Feels like City are getting closer perhaps? Maybe wishful thinking. It’s hardly been an epic so far.

27 mins: City starting to probe down the right a bit more through Nunes and Foden, when the latter drifts to that side. Still nothing you would describe as a clear-cut chance for Guardiola’s men and in fact only one shot on target, which Nishikawa saved with ease.

25 mins: Yasui runs forward with the ball for Urawa and Akanji grabs his midriff and pulls him down. First booking of the night and it goes to the City centre-back.

23 mins: First corner of the day for City and Nunes puts it in but Sekine wins the header to clear. Patient build-up as City then wait for another opportunity but Urawa back into their low-block formation and the three banks of red show no signs of cracking.

19 mins: A ball into the box from out on the left touchline by Grealish and Silva is at full stretch to get a touch with his left foot but it’s not substantial and only flicks the ball into the hands of Nishikawa. Silva claps the cross, it was only inches away from being perfect.

18 mins: Grealish again drives into the box from the left but Sekine does well to nick the ball away with a dangling foot. City then go more aerial as they loft the ball into the box but again Urawa defend it well enough

15 mins: Nice switch over to Grealish and he lays inside to Silva, whose first-time shot from the edge of the area is curled over the bar. Decent attempt.

Most of City’s attack coming through Grealish at the moment and he’s providing the width.

13 mins: A slightly hairy moment as Ederson almost spills the ball in his own box but manages to scramble it away. City mostly still probing for a breakthrough.

Grealish does some stepovers down the left and finds a nice reverse pass to Kovacic but the Reds defend the width of their penalty area and block the ball in.

9 mins: A first shot for City as Rodri takes aim from 35 yards. It’s always curling wide but Nishikawa dives to cover his post just to be sure.

7 mins: Akanji tries a ball over the top looking for Kovacic but it’s a shade too long and runs through to Nishikawa. Typical possession-based football so far from City.

Good link-up between Grelaish and Kovacic down the left but the ball gets away from the Englishman and City reset
