- 0' It’s Showtime! The match between SK Slovan Bratislava and Manchester City FC is underway.
- 5' It’s high time Vladimir Weiss made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 8' Goal! Ilkay Gundogan scores his 62 goal in 436 matches.
- 13' 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 Danylo Ignatenko suffering a number of foals already.
- 15' Goal! Phil Foden scores his 98 goal in 436 matches.
- 20' It looks surprising SK Slovan Bratislava does not make any changes. Tigran Barseghyan has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 25' It looks like no one’s ball. Manchester City FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 30' Guram Kashia needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 35' SK Slovan Bratislava 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.
- 40' The travelling Manchester City FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 45' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 50' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Manchester City FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 55' John Stones has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 20 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 58' GOAL! Erling Haaland scores on 58. Assisted by Rico Lewis
- 60' James McAtee is replacing Erling Haaland for the Manchester City FC side.
- 63' The whistle greets Danylo Ignatenko as he departs to be replaced by Julius Szoke.
- 68' 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.
- 73' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Matheus Nunes made 505 appearances and scored 12 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.

- 78' The whistle greets Josko Gvardiol as he departs to be replaced by Kyle Walker.
- 83' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 83 minutes.
