Manchester City overcame a first-half deficit to beat Atletico Madrid 3-1 in their preseason showdown in Seoul on Sunday, spoiling Korean star Lee Kang-in's Atleti debut in front of some 50,000 fans.

After teen defender Jorge Dominguez scored for Atletico Madrid in the 43rd minute, Omar Marmoush responded for Man City with a second-half brace at Seoul World Cup Stadium. Rayan Ait-Nouri then rounded out the scoring in the late moments.

Lee, who subbed in for Rodrigo Mendoza in the 63rd minute, had a couple of shot attempts but did not ultimately affect the outcome of the match.

Man City were in control early, with their high pressing creating turnovers in the attacking zone.
