The Manchester City bench rose together, applauding as Lukas simply raised a hand toward his teammates before jogging back into his own half.
There was no wild celebration.
It was only pre-season.
But the quality of the strike drew applause from both sets of supporters.
"That's a player enjoying himself," the co-commentator laughed. "He's making these things look far too easy."
Just 2 minutes later, City struck again.
Lukas received possession near the center circle before spinning away from his marker with his first touch. Reijnders immediately recognized the opening, bursting through the inside-right channel.
Lukas needed only a glance.
His through ball split Palermo's back line perfectly.
Reijnders collected it in stride, entered the penalty area and calmly fired a low finish across Alfred Gomis into the far corner.
"Brilliant football."
"And brilliant vision again from Lukas Brandt."
"Two contributions already since coming on."
