Match Events
- 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Manchester City FC to score. At the same time, West Bromwich Albion FC does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
- 5' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. West Bromwich Albion FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 10' The travelling West Bromwich Albion FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 15' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 20' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 25' 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.
- 30' Ilkay Gundogan puts Manchester City FC on the lead.
- 35' Raheem Sterling needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 30 Yellow cards this season.
- 40' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Conor Gallagher.
- 43' What an equalizer from Semi Ajayi!
- 45' Joao Cancelo is having his name booked by the referee on 45.
- 50' Matt Phillips has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 48 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
- 55' Supporters expect more eagerness from Filip Krovinovic, as he is very good at scoring at Etihad Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 60' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 65' 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 Sam Johnstone suffering a number of foals already.
- 70' Charlie Austin is replacing Karlan Ahearne-Grant for the West Bromwich Albion FC side.
- 75' Kyle Walker is replacing Benjamin Mendy for the Manchester City FC side.
- 76' The whistle greets Phil Foden as he departs to be replaced by Sergio Aguero.
- 80' Filip Krovinovic is replacing Jake Livermore for the West Bromwich Albion FC side.
- 85' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Manchester City FC that had 436 games and scored 1020 goals.
- 87' The supporters are chanting for Lee Peltier. He replaces Matt Phillips on 87 minute.
- 90' Lee Peltier is having his name booked by the referee on 90.
- The final whistle. It looks like we are having a draw.
