Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. RB Leipzig kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' It looks like no one’s ball. RB Leipzig is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 10' Castello Lukeba has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 13' Lois Openda has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 13 minutes.
  • 18' A quiet spell here at Etihad Stadium. Manchester City FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 21' A moment of madness from Ruben Dias on 21 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Manchester City FC will be frustrated.
  • 26' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 31' Manchester City FC have won 1020 goals from 436 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 33' Goal! Lois Openda scores his 104 goal in 351 matches.
  • 38' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 43' Rico Lewis has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 20 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 46' Nathan Ake is replacing Ruben Dias for the Manchester City FC side.
  • 51' The home supporters are growing impatient. Manchester City FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 54' The deadlock is broken! Erling Haaland gets on the scoresheet on 54 minutes.
  • 54' Manchester City FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Jeremy Doku is hanging Jack Grealish on the field on 54 minute.
  • 59' The 30-year-old Jack Grealish has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 60' The crowd applauds Lois Openda as he leaves the pitch. Benjamin Sesko steps in for RB Leipzig.
  • 65' Rodri needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 54 Yellow cards this season.
  • 70' A goal from the England international Phil Foden! He fires home on 70 to make it 2-2!
  • 74' Another change for RB Leipzig made on 74 minute. Amadou Haidara leaves to be changed by Fabio Carvalho.
  • 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 Josko Gvardiol suffering a number of foals already.
  • 84' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 87' Sensational shot from Julian Alvarez. Manchester City FC is back in the lead.
  • 87' Another substitution for RB Leipzig to replace Xaver Schlager by Kevin Kampl on 87 minute.
  • 90' Time for substitution for Manchester City FC. Josko Gvardiol is replaced by Sergio Gomez.
  • What a match! Full time at {STADIUM} — Manchester City FC 3-2 RB Leipzig.
