Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at Etihad Stadium. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' Owen Otasowie, a USA , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 10' Both keepers have barely been tested. Manchester City FC and Wolverhampton Wanderers FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 15' GOAL! Leander Dendoncker fires home to make it 0-1!
  • 20' It’s high time Nuno Espírito Santo made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 25' Romain Saiss has been relatively quiet despite scoring 13 goals in his last 343 appearances.
  • 30' 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.
  • 35' 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 Adama Traore suffering a number of foals already.
  • 40' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 45' Over 45 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 50' The travelling Wolverhampton Wanderers FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 55' The whistle greets Jonny Castro as he departs to be replaced by Fabio Silva.
  • 56' Fabio Silva is replacing Jonny Castro for the Wolverhampton Wanderers FC side.
  • 61' GOAL! Conor Coady fires home to make it 0-2!
  • 66' Wolverhampton Wanderers FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 71' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Pedro Neto on 71 minutes.
  • 76' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Nuno Espírito Santo will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 80' What composure from Gabriel Jesus! The Brazil international strokes it home. 1-2.
  • 82' The supporters are chanting for Ilkay Gundogan. He replaces Bernardo Silva on 82 minute.
  • 87' Wolverhampton Wanderers FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 90' Riyad Mahrez adds to his 2 season tally! Manchester City FC lead 2-2 — and this changes everything.
  • 90' A tactical swap from Wolverhampton Wanderers FC — Owen Otasowie on, Ruben Neves off on 90 minutes.
  • The points are shared — Manchester City FC 4-1 Wolverhampton Wanderers FC. Honours even.
