Events
Match Events
- 0' Welcome to Etihad Stadium that hosts another battle between Manchester City FC and FK Shakhtar Donetsk.
- 5' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 10' It looks surprising FK Shakhtar Donetsk does not make any changes. Marcos Antonio has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 15' Manor Solomon needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 20' Manchester City FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 20.
- 25' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 25 minutes.
- 30' 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.
- 35' 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.
- 40' Rodri has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 57 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
- 45' The travelling FK Shakhtar Donetsk supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 50' 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.
- 55' Supporters expect more eagerness from Kevin De Bruyne, as he is very good at scoring at Etihad Stadium with 40 goals in the last 34 games.
- 56' GOAL! Ilkay Gundogan scores on 56. Assisted by Gabriel Jesus
- 61' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Raheem Sterling made 436 appearances and scored 113 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 65' Manor Solomon is replacing Yevhen Konoplyanka for the FK Shakhtar Donetsk side.
- 69' Goal! Manor Solomon scores his 20 goal in 203 matches.
- 70' Another change for Manchester City FC made on 70 minute. Kevin De Bruyne leaves to be changed by David Silva.
- 75' 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 Ismaily suffering a number of foals already.
- 76' The whistle greets Rodri as he departs to be replaced by Phil Foden.
- 81' Time for substitution for FK Shakhtar Donetsk. Viktor Kovalenko is replaced by Marcos Antonio.
- 86' It looks like no one’s ball. FK Shakhtar Donetsk is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 90' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Fernandinho.
- 90' Another change for FK Shakhtar Donetsk made on 90 minute. Junior Moraes leaves to be changed by Danylo Sikan.
- The final score is 1-1.
