Events
Match Events
- 0' Welcome to Etihad Stadium that hosts another battle between Manchester City FC and Borussia Monchengladbach.
- 5' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Manchester City FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 10' 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 Riyad Mahrez suffering a number of foals already.
- 12' Kevin De Bruyne puts Manchester City FC on the lead.
- 17' Manchester City FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 17.
- 18' Goal! Ilkay Gundogan scores his 62 goal in 436 matches.
- 23' It looks surprising Manchester City FC does not make any changes. Alassane Plea has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 28' Yann Sommer has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 34 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 33' 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.
- 38' Manchester City FC is showing some good football. However, Manchester City FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 43' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 43 minutes.
- 48' It looks like no one’s ball. Borussia Monchengladbach is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 53' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 55' Joao Cancelo was booked on 55.
- 60' The travelling Borussia Monchengladbach supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 61' Stefan Lainer is having his name booked by the referee on 61.
- 63' Fernandinho has so much to prove this time. He replaces Rodri on 63 minute.
