Events

Match Events

0' The wait is over. Brentford FC get us underway at Etihad Stadium.
5' Manchester City FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 5.
10' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
15' The 25-year-old Keane Lewis-Potter has been sensational this season — 2 goals and 1 assists is a remarkable return.
20' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Manchester City FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
25' Marc Guehi has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 38 cards already picked up this season.
30' A quiet spell here at Etihad Stadium. Brentford FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
35' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Thiago Rodrigues made 186 appearances and scored 22 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
36' A moment of madness from Bernardo Silva on 36 minutes earns him a card. Manchester City FC will be frustrated.
41' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Brentford FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
46' It’s high time Pep Guardiola made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
51' Nathan Ake, a Netherlands defender, has 13 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
56' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
60' The Belgium Jeremy Doku breaks the deadlock on 60 minutes. 1-0!
65' Brentford FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
70' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
74' That looks like a foul for a card for Nico O'Reilly.
75' Erling Haaland does the damage! The net is bulging and Manchester City FC surge ahead!
80' It’s a booking for Brentford FC player. Kristoffer Ajer gets a card.
85' 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.
88' Poor challenge from Jordan Henderson. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
90' Manchester City FC receives a card for a hard tackle on 90.
The final whistle goes. A composed, disciplined performance from Manchester City FC to claim maximum points.
