Events

Match Events

  • 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Manchester City FC to score. At the same time, BSC Young Boys does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
  • 5' It looks surprising BSC Young Boys does not make any changes. Mateo Kovacic has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 10' Jack Grealish has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 17 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 15' BSC Young Boys player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 19' The referee calls foul for Sandro Lauper. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 23' Manchester City FC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Erling Haaland on 23.
  • 28' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 33' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 38' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 43' Ruben Dias needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 1 Red cards this season.
  • 46' What a strike from Phil Foden! The score is 2-0.
  • 46' Another substitution for Manchester City FC to replace John Stones by Nathan Ake on 46 minute.
  • 51' Goal! Erling Haaland scores his 250 goal in 83 matches.
  • 53' The referee shows BSC Young Boys player a Red card on 53.
  • 58' Supporters expect more eagerness from Filip Ugrinic, as he is very good at scoring at Etihad Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 61' The supporters are chanting for Kalvin Phillips. He replaces Kyle Walker on 61 minute.
  • 65' Time for substitution for BSC Young Boys. Cedric Itten is replaced by Miguel Chaiwa.
  • 70' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Loris Benito made 236 appearances and scored 3 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 75' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering BSC Young Boys that had 236 games and scored 98 goals.
  • 77' The referee shows BSC Young Boys player a Yellow card on 77.
  • 78' Noah Persson has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ulisses Garcia on 78 minute.
  • 80' It is a substitution in Manchester City FC team. Mateo Kovacic is replaced by Jeremy Doku on 80 minute.
  • 85' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 90' 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 Aurele Amenda suffering a number of foals already.
  • Full Time. Manchester City FC beats BSC Young Boys
