Events

Match Events

  • 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — Manchester City FC and Leicester City FC get this one started.
  • 2' Brilliant from the forward! Jack Grealish makes it 1-0 with a superb finish on 2.
  • 7' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 12' Josko Gvardiol has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 5 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
  • 17' 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.
  • 22' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 27' Ilkay Gundogan has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 30' Omar Marmoush does the damage! The net is bulging and Manchester City FC surge ahead!
  • 34' Leicester City FC player sees a card in front of him.
  • 39' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 44' The energy levels are beginning to show. Ruud van Nistelrooy might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 46' Time for substitution for Leicester City FC. Jamie Vardy is replaced by Oliver Skipp.
  • 51' 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.
  • 56' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. James Justin made 394 appearances and scored 16 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 60' Facundo Buonanotte is replacing Bilal El Khannouss for the Leicester City FC side.
  • 65' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 70' 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 Boubakary Soumare suffering a number of foals already.
  • 71' The referee does not hesitate — a card for James Justin on 71 minutes.
  • 76' Fresh legs for Leicester City FC! Ricardo Pereira comes on to replace Boubakary Soumare.
  • 77' Leicester City FC player sees a card in front of him.
  • 78' Manchester City FC ring the changes. Jeremy Doku has done his job and it is now time for James McAtee to step up.
  • 80' That looks like a foul for a card for Nico Gonzalez.
  • 80' Another substitution for Leicester City FC to replace Patson Daka by Jordan Ayew on 80 minute.
  • 85' Fresh legs for Manchester City FC! Oscar Bobb comes on to replace Savio.
  • 89' The referee has no hesitation. Oliver Skipp is booked for Leicester City FC — card on 89.
  • 90' Another change for Manchester City FC made on 90 minute. Ilkay Gundogan leaves to be changed by Rico Lewis.
  • 2-0 the final result. Leicester City FC will be bitterly disappointed.
