Events

Match Events

  • 0' What a night it is going to be! Southampton FC welcome Manchester City FC for this crunch clash at Saint Mary's.
  • 5' Southampton FC are deployed in a 3-4-2-1 today, looking to exploit space against Manchester City FC's 4-2-3-1 shape.
  • 10' With 0 assists to his name this season, Welington is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Southampton FC.
  • 15' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 20' Josko Gvardiol has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 25' 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 Chimuanya Ugochukwu suffering a number of foals already.
  • 30' William Smallbone has been relatively quiet despite scoring 11 goals in his last 348 appearances.
  • 35' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 40' Over 40 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 43' The referee has no hesitation. Chimuanya Ugochukwu is booked for Southampton FC — card on 43.
  • 46' Southampton FC make a change. Chimuanya Ugochukwu trudges off to be replaced by Joe Aribo on 46 minutes.
  • 51' Southampton FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 51.
  • 56' It looks like no one’s ball. Southampton FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 57' The referee has no hesitation. Flynn Downes is booked for Southampton FC — card on 57.
  • 62' It’s high time Pep Guardiola made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 66' Cameron Archer gets the nod from Southampton FC. He replaces Tyler Dibling and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 71' It looks surprising Southampton FC does not make any changes. Flynn Downes has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 76' The Manchester City FC bench stirs into life. Phil Foden is withdrawn and Savio gets his opportunity.
  • 81' The 30-year-old Jan Bednarek has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 86' The Manchester City FC bench stirs into life. Mateo Kovacic is withdrawn and Omar Marmoush gets his opportunity.
  • 89' A tactical swap from Southampton FC — Ryan Manning on, Welington off on 89 minutes.
  • 90' William Smallbone has so much to prove this time. He replaces Mateus Fernandes on 90 minute.
  • It finishes all square. Southampton FC and Manchester City FC share the spoils 0-0.
