Events
Match Events
- 0' We are underway at Elland Road. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.

- 22' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 27' Leeds United FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 32' 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 Kalvin Phillips suffering a number of foals already.
- 36' It’s a booking for Manchester City FC player. Benjamin Mendy gets a Yellow card.
- 41' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.

- 59' What an equalizer from Rodrigo!
- 64' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 65' Bernardo Silva has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ferran on 65 minute.
- 70' Helder Costa needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 7 Yellow cards this season.
- 71' Nathan Ake gets the nod from Manchester City FC. He replaces Benjamin Mendy and will look to change the dynamic.
- 76' Over 76 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 77' The Manchester City FC bench stirs into life. Riyad Mahrez is withdrawn and Fernandinho gets his opportunity.
- 82' The 35-year-old Kevin De Bruyne has been sensational this season — 5 goals and 1 assists is a remarkable return.
- 87' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Leeds United FC and Manchester City FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
