Bruno Zuculini and Kelechi Iheanacho were on the scoresheet as Manchester City defeat Sporting Kansas City.
Zuculini will officially join City once the Premier League ratify the Argentine's £1.5million move from Racing Club, and highly-rated Nigerian striker Iheanacho can only loosely be referred to as a triallist after earning a place on the flight to America during last week's training camp in Scotland.
Dedryck Boyata and Aleksandar Kolarov were the other scorers as City eased to victory over the current Major League Soccer champions. Most of Pellegrini's star players were still missing but there was another outing for new signings Willy Caballero and Fernando as well as some who might not be at the club much longer, such as Micah Richards, Scott Sinclair, Matija Nastasic and Javi Garcia.
