Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Manchester City FC kicks off things out of here…
- 5' Harvey Barnes has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 2 goals to his name this season.
- 10' Oleksandr Zinchenko, a Ukraine left-back, has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 15' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 20' 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 Ricardo Pereira suffering a number of foals already.
- 22' The referee calls foul for David Silva. He receives a Yellow card.
- 27' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Leicester City FC that had 368 games and scored 536 goals.
- 32' The energy levels are beginning to show. Pep Guardiola might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 35' A meaty challenge results in booking for Harry Maguire on 35.
- 40' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Harry Maguire made 368 appearances and scored 28 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 44' It’s a booking for Manchester City FC player. Vincent Kompany gets a Yellow card.
- 49' 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.
- 54' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 56' Leroy Sane has so much to prove this time. He replaces Phil Foden on 56 minute.
- 61' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 66' Manchester City FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Leicester City FC backline.
- 70' The Belgium Vincent Kompany breaks the deadlock on 70 minutes. 1-0!
- 75' The Leicester City FC manager makes a substitution. Youri Tielemans departs to be replaced by Harvey Barnes.
- 80' The supporters are chanting for Kelechi Iheanacho. He replaces James Maddison on 80 minute.
- 85' A tactical swap from Leicester City FC — Demarai Gray on, Marc Albrighton off on 85 minutes.
- 87' Another substitution for Manchester City FC to replace Sergio Aguero by Gabriel Jesus on 87 minute.
- 89' That is a Yellow card for Manchester City FC. Gabriel Jesus will be fuming at that decision.
- 90' Poor challenge from Kelechi Iheanacho. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
- 90' The supporters are chanting for John Stones. He replaces David Silva on 90 minute.
- The points are shared — Manchester City FC 1-0 Leicester City FC. Honours even.
