The game
In the first game of the match, Manchester City went on the attack and Gundogan scored a great goal from outside the area to open the scoring with an incredible 13 seconds into the match. With the favorable score, Guardiola’s team continued to press the rival and controlled the first minutes of the duel. However, in the 32nd minute, when the game was under City’s control, Bruno Fernandes equalized with a penalty after Grealish’s handball inside the area.
The second half started better for City, who, once again, scored with Gundogan from outside the area in the 6th minute of the final stage and retook the lead. United, on the other hand, couldn’t keep the ball at their feet, but still had some opportunities to seek the equalizer again. At 25 minutes, Gundogan scored again, but he was offside and the bid was well annulled.
At 46, the Red Devils had a golden chance from inside the small area, but the crossbar stopped McTominay. After that, the Citizens held the match and didn’t let the opponent dream of a new draw.
