Events
Match Events
- 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — Manchester United FC and Manchester City FC get this one started.
- 5' Ederson has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 7' Goal! Eric Bailly scores his 2 goal in 423 matches.
- 12' Manchester United FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 17' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 22' A quiet spell here at Old Trafford. Manchester United FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 27' Manchester United FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 32' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 37' Fred has been relatively quiet despite scoring 17 goals in his last 423 appearances.
- 42' 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 Bruno Fernandes suffering a number of foals already.
- 45' Bernardo Silva has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 45 minutes.
- 46' Manchester United FC make a change. Eric Bailly trudges off to be replaced by Jadon Sancho on 46 minutes.
- 48' Joao Cancelo was booked on 48.
- 53' It looks like no one’s ball. Manchester United FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 58' Manchester City FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 58.
- 63' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Pep Guardiola will be considering his options from the bench.
- 67' The whistle greets Mason Greenwood as he departs to be replaced by Marcus Rashford.
- 72' 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.
- 73' Manchester United FC ring the changes. Luke Shaw has done his job and it is now time for Alex Telles to step up.
- 78' Manchester City FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 78.
- 80' The supporters are chanting for Donny van de Beek. He replaces Fred on 80 minute.
- 85' The travelling Manchester City FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 90' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Cristiano Ronaldo on 90 minutes.
- That’s it! Another goalless match for Manchester United FC and Manchester City FC (для сухой ничьи).
