However, City quickly asserted control. Gundogan opened the scoring with a deflected volley from the edge of the box that left goalkeeper Dominik Takac with no chance.
Phil Foden doubled City’s lead in the 15th minute, finding space in the box and curling a perfect shot into the bottom corner.
City came close to adding a third, with Jeremy Doku hitting the post and Gundogan’s long-range effort rattling the crossbar before halftime.
Haaland, frustrated by limited touches, missed a header early in the second half but soon redeemed himself by rounding the goalkeeper and scoring into an empty net.
James McAtee capped off the comfortable victory with a close-range finish, securing all three points for Pep Guardiola’s side.
