Two more big English Premier League clubs have started their preparations for the season.
Manchester City players traveled to South Africa, where they met with the "Supersport United" team.
The non-main English team had to admit the opponents' superiority with a score of 0 - 2, so coach Manuel Pellegrini got his first headache.
The goals for the victorious united team were scored by Mame Niang (56 min.) and Kermit Erasmus (82 min.).
Meanwhile, London's Arsenal club had some fun in Jakarta, where they faced the Indonesian Dream Team.
From the beginning of the match, Arsene Wenger's students showed better quality football, and in the first half they took the lead after Theo Walcott's goal.
In the second half, a real onslaught by the opponents began. One after another, goals were scored by Chuba Akpom, Olivier Giroud, Lukas Podolski, Kristoffer Olsson, and Thomas Eisfeld.
Manchester City team will play their next preseason match on Thursday against "AmaZulu" players, while Arsenal will meet with the Vietnam team on Wednesday.
