Dos pinceladas magníficas de Kevin de Bruyne le bastaron al Manchester City para superar al América en un amistoso jugado en el NRG Stadium de Houston.
Las Águilas mostraron mucha más ganas, más atrevimiento y más chispa de lo que vimos hace unos días ante Chelsea, pero al final las individualidades del actual campeón de la Premier League alcanzaron para señalar el 2-1 con que acabó el partido.
A big crowd at Bank of America Stadium got to watch its beloved Charlotte FC battle to a memorable 1-1 result with Chelsea on Wednesday night before triumphing in a shootout.

1) Kevin de Bruyne es un extraterrestre
2) Jack Grealish es un divo engreído y pendenciero que merece los abucheos del público en el NGR Stadium

El rol se lo ganó en el minuto 24, luego de una jugada en que acabó a los empujones con el arquero del América Memo Ochoa.

Several reports from Spain and Mexico are saying promising Mexican star Marcelo Flores is leaving Arsenal to join LaLiga 2 side Real Oviedo. It's believed that an announcement confirming the transfer will be made in the next following hours.
The 18-year-old forward is one of the most exciting prospects in the Gunners academy, but a "broken promise" and the need for minutes trying to get a spot in the Mexican squad going to the World Cup have pushed him to look for playing time elsewhere.
Manchester United's impressive preseason form continued Tuesday with a 3-1 victory over Crystal Palace at Melbourne Cricket Ground in Australia.
