History was made on Saturday when Lambeau Field hosted its first ever soccer game. Manchester City defeated Bayern Munich 1-0 in the home of the Green Bay Packers in what turned out to be a wild, wet and short affair.
The game was only two 40-minute halves long with a five-minute halftime.
The first Erling Haaland Manchester City goal came in 12 minutes. The Norwegian superstar made his debut for his new club during a friendly at Lambeau Field vs. Bayern Munich.
The crowd would make plenty of extra noise anytime he was on the ball and the over 81,000 fans in attendance collectively lost it when he scored the opener.
ERLING HAALAND DEBUT GOAL!
Opening Day in the Premier League — it doesn’t get much better than this. Besides being the only time of the year Arsenal sits atop the table, before a ball is kicked in EPL play, every team has high hopes for a new campaign. The18’s Premier League predictions 2022-23 show there remains a strong consensus of the top two or three teams, but after that it’s wide open how the season goes.
Below are the responses of The18 staffers on how we think the 2022-23 Premier League season plays out. Let us know how you feel about our Premier League predictions 2022-23.
Arsenal’s quest for the top four has been a torturous battle for Gunners fans over the past few seasons. Last season was extra painful — and we’ll all get to see the extra juicy details in Amazon’s All or Nothing series — as the team saw top four slip from its grasp in the final weeks. Will this potential Arsenal starting XI 2022-23 lineup right the wrongs of last season?
Manager Mikel Arteta has some new faces in the Arsenal camp after a few big transfers. How much of an impact will they make is the real the question?
Do you know what “symmetrical” means? If you answered yes, congratulations. You already are smarter than Man City forward Jack Grealish.

This Saturday, hallowed Lambeau Field plays host to an exhibition match between Premier League champion Manchester City and Bundesliga champion Bayern Munich. This will be the first-ever professional soccer match held at Lambeau, and for good reason: The field isn’t big enough.
Bad news, soccer fans. Lambeau Field isn't wide enough for the #WorldCup https://t.co/xJKlkXZE3J
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.
Terminado el primer tiempo del amistoso entre el América y Manchester City hay dos conclusiones claras:
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
En medio del concierto que da de Bruyne, autor de un doblete al mediotiempo, Grealish juega el papel de villano.
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.
A new season and still another stacked Manchester City squad. The players may change but the strength of the team maintains the same. The potential Man City starting XI 2022-23 lineup is just as good as last season with some massive additions and potentially more.
Manager Pep Guardiola is known for his tactical genius and can switch up his formation before any given game. Pep does enjoy implementing a 4-3-3, which is what we’ll go with for this example. Let’s look.
Mexican goalkeeper Memo Ochoa could have a successful NFL career ahead if one day he decides to quit soccer. Or at least that's the conclusion after seeing a clip where Ochoa shows off his impressive skills kicking field goals.
Currently training alongside Club América in Houston for a friendly game versus Manchester City (Wednesday 8:30 p.m. ET), Ochoa set aside time to practice field goals with former Texans punter Shane Lechler. And the result was astonishing.
