Events

Match Events

  • 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Manchester City FC and Wydad AC has kicked off!
  • 2' GOAL! Phil Foden scores on 2. Assisted by Rico Lewis
  • 7' It looks like no one’s ball. Wydad AC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 12' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Manchester City FC that had 448 games and scored 1052 goals.
  • 16' Cassius Mailula was booked on 16.
  • 21' Samuel Obeng is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Manchester City FC tonight.
  • 26' Manchester City FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 31' Over 31 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 36' 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 Guilherme Ferreira suffering a number of foals already.
  • 41' Manchester City FC is showing some good football. However, Manchester City FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 42' Assisted by Phil Foden with the perfectly-timed delivery and Jeremy Doku makes no mistake. 2-0!
  • 46' Cassius Mailula makes way for Mohamed Rayhi at the 46 minute mark. A tactical switch from Wydad AC.
  • 51' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 51 minutes.
  • 56' Fahd Moufi has been relatively quiet despite scoring 6 goals in his last 172 appearances.
  • 60' Oscar Bobb gets the nod from Manchester City FC. He replaces Jeremy Doku and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 62' A change in the Wydad AC ranks — Oussama Zemraoui exits the field as Mickael Malsa enters on 62.
  • 67' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 69' Manchester City FC ring the changes. Omar Marmoush has done his job and it is now time for Ilkay Gundogan to step up.
  • 74' El Mehdi El Moubarik has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 75' Fresh legs for Wydad AC! Ismail Moutaraji comes on to replace Bart Meijers.
  • 80' 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.
  • 84' Fresh legs for Wydad AC! Stephane Aziz Ki comes on to replace Thembinkosi Lorch.
  • 88' Rico Lewis was booked on 88.
  • 90' Time for substitution for Manchester City FC. Savio is replaced by Matheus Nunes.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 2-0.
