Events

Match Events

  • 0' What a night it is going to be! Borussia Dortmund welcome Manchester City FC for this crunch clash at Signal Iduna Park.

  • 10' Manchester City FC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker scoring 0 goals.
  • 15' Jude Bellingham is having a superb {COMPETITION} campaign — that is 5 goals this season for the .
  • 20' Borussia Dortmund are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 25' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Mats Hummels suffering a number of foals already.
  • 30' Ruben Dias is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Borussia Dortmund so far.
  • 35' Supporters expect more eagerness from Mahmoud Dahoud, as he is very good at scoring at Signal Iduna Park with 2 goals in the last 2 games.
  • 39' That is a Yellow card for Borussia Dortmund. Jude Bellingham will be fuming at that decision.
  • 44' Borussia Dortmund have won 798 goals from 521 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 49' The 32-year-old Emre Can has been sensational this season — 1 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 54' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 55' Riyad Mahrez is having a superb {COMPETITION} campaign — that is 2 goals this season for the .
  • 60' Bernardo Silva is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Borussia Dortmund tonight.
  • 65' It looks surprising Borussia Dortmund does not make any changes. Steffen Tigges has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 68' Borussia Dortmund manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Gio Reyna is hanging Ansgar Knauff on the field on 68 minute.
  • 73' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Manchester City FC that had 436 games and scored 1020 goals.
  • 75' GOAL! Phil Foden fires home to make it 1-2!
  • 76' Thorgan Hazard is ready to make an impact after coming on for Mahmoud Dahoud at the 76 minute mark.
  • 81' Julian Brandt gets the nod from Borussia Dortmund. He replaces Jude Bellingham and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 86' Kyle Walker has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 20 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 88' A change in the Manchester City FC ranks — Riyad Mahrez exits the field as Raheem Sterling enters on 88.
  • Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 1-2 draw is a fair result on the day.
