Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Manchester United FC gets underway.
- 5' Lisandro Martinez is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Manchester City FC tonight.
- 10' It’s high time Ruben Amorim made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 14' The Manchester United FC manager makes a substitution. Mason Mount departs to be replaced by Kobbie Mainoo.
- 19' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 24' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Manchester United FC that had 415 games and scored 686 goals.
- 29' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Manchester City FC and Manchester United FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 34' Manchester City FC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Erling Haaland scoring 1 goals.
- 36' A stunning finish from Josko Gvardiol — that came from absolutely nowhere!
- 40' It’s gonna be a card for Rasmus Hojlund.
- 45' England international Phil Foden has been a key figure this campaign — 3 goals and 3 assists in the Array this season.
- 50' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 55' 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 Antony suffering a number of foals already.
- 60' The 21-year-old Kobbie Mainoo has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 1 assists is a remarkable return.
- 65' Supporters expect more eagerness from Bruno Fernandes, as he is very good at scoring at Etihad Stadium with 2 goals in the last 2 games.

- 78' Joshua Zirkzee is ready to make an impact after coming on for Rasmus Hojlund at the 78 minute mark.
- 79' Manchester United FC ring the changes. Matthijs de Ligt has done his job and it is now time for Leny Yoro to step up.
- 84' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 84 minutes.
- 88' A stunning finish from Bruno Fernandes — that came from absolutely nowhere!
- 89' Another change for Manchester City FC made on 89 minute. Ilkay Gundogan leaves to be changed by Savio.
