Events
Match Events
- 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — Leicester City FC and Manchester City FC get this one started.
- 5' Jonny Evans is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Manchester City FC so far.
- 10' Supporters expect more eagerness from Youri Tielemans, as he is very good at scoring at King Power Stadium with 9 goals in the last 8 games.
- 15' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Phil Foden made 452 appearances and scored 103 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 20' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Pep Guardiola will be considering his options from the bench.
- 25' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 30' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 32' A meaty challenge results in booking for Wilfred Ndidi on 32.
- 37' 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 Kasper Schmeichel suffering a number of foals already.
- 42' With 1 assists to his name this season, Jamie Vardy is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Leicester City FC.
- 47' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 52' Ferran Torres has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 9 goals to his name this season.
- 57' Over 57 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 58' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Benjamin Mendy makes no mistake. 0-1!
- 63' Manchester City FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Raheem Sterling is hanging Sergio Aguero on the field on 63 minute.
- 68' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Leicester City FC that had 368 games and scored 536 goals.
- 71' Ricardo Pereira is replacing Marc Albrighton for the Leicester City FC side.
- 72' James Maddison has so much to prove this time. He replaces Kelechi Iheanacho on 72 minute.
- 73' A meaty challenge results in booking for Ederson on 73.
- 74' Goal! Gabriel Jesus scores his 110 goal in 452 matches.
- 79' Manchester City FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Ferran Torres is hanging Riyad Mahrez on the field on 79 minute.
- 82' Controversy at the stadium! Fernandinho argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
- 83' Time for substitution for Leicester City FC. Wilfred Ndidi is replaced by Nampalys Mendy.
- 87' A meaty challenge results in booking for Daniel Amartey on 87.
- 88' The crowd applauds Kevin De Bruyne as he leaves the pitch. Phil Foden steps in for Manchester City FC.
