Events
Match Events
- 0' Borussia Dortmund have kicked off against Manchester City FC. Both sides are eager to make an early statement.
- 5' Manchester City FC have won 1053 goals from 449 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 7' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Joao Cancelo.
- 12' A quiet spell here at Signal Iduna Park. Manchester City FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 17' Borussia Dortmund are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 22' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Borussia Dortmund that had 533 games and scored 821 goals.
- 27' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 31' The referee has no hesitation. Julian Alvarez is booked for Manchester City FC — Yellow card on 31.
- 36' 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 Cole Palmer suffering a number of foals already.

- 69' Borussia Dortmund seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 72' That is a Yellow card for Manchester City FC. Manuel Akanji will be fuming at that decision.
- 73' Karim Adeyemi makes way for Donyell Malen at the 73 minute mark. A tactical switch from Borussia Dortmund.
