Events

Match Events

  • 0' That's the starting whistle at King Abdullah Sports City. Ninety minutes of football awaits between Manchester City FC and Fluminense FC.
  • 1' A goal from the Argentina international Julian Alvarez! He fires home on 1 to make it 1-0!
  • 6' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Manchester City FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 11' Diogo Barbosa has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 16' It looks like no one’s ball. Manchester City FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 21' Alexsander Gomes needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 26' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 27' Against the run of play, Nino has scored! This game has turned on its head.
  • 32' Manchester City FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 37' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Fluminense FC that had 398 games and scored 432 goals.
  • 42' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 46' Another substitution for Fluminense FC to replace Keno by John Kennedy on 46 minute.
  • 51' Fluminense FC have won 432 goals from 398 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 56' Over 56 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 57' It’s gonna be a card for Marcelo.
  • 60' A change in the Fluminense FC ranks — Ganso exits the field as Lima enters on 60.
  • 65' Fluminense FC is showing some good football. However, Fluminense FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 68' Fluminense FC player sees a card in front of him.
  • 72' Sensational shot from Phil Foden. Manchester City FC is back in the lead.
  • 74' Josko Gvardiol is replacing John Stones for the Manchester City FC side.
  • 79' 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 Bernardo Silva suffering a number of foals already.
  • 81' The Manchester City FC manager makes a substitution. Phil Foden departs to be replaced by Matheus Nunes.
  • 84' Fluminense FC player sees a card in front of him.
  • 88' The Argentina forward Julian Alvarez breaks the deadlock on 88 minutes. 3-1!
  • With this win, Manchester City FC is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
