Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Olympique de Marseille kicks off things out of here…
- 5' It looks surprising Manchester City FC does not make any changes. Pape Gueye has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 10' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Manchester City FC that had 431 games and scored 1011 goals.
- 15' Olympique de Marseille 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.
- 20' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 25' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 28' The whistle greets Eric Garcia as he departs to be replaced by John Stones.
- 33' Olympique de Marseille started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 33.
- 38' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 39' It’s a booking for Olympique de Marseille player. Pape Gueye gets a Yellow card.
- 44' Valere Germain has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 39 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 46' The Manchester City FC manager makes a substitution. Ilkay Gundogan departs to be replaced by Raheem Sterling.
- 48' GOAL! Ferran scores on 48.
- 53' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 53 minutes.
- 58' Supporters expect more eagerness from Bernardo Silva, as he is very good at scoring at Etihad Stadium with 22 goals in the last 17 games.
- 63' Manchester City FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 66' Time for substitution for Manchester City FC. Riyad Mahrez is replaced by Sergio Aguero.
- 67' The whistle greets Riyad Mahrez as he departs to be replaced by Sergio Aguero.
- 72' Marley Ake needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 75' It is a substitution in Olympique de Marseille team. Pape Gueye is replaced by Kevin Strootman on 75 minute.
- 77' Goal! Sergio Aguero scores his 68 goal in 431 matches.
- 82' Olympique de Marseille is showing some good football. However, Olympique de Marseille are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 87' 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 Florian Thauvin suffering a number of foals already.
- 90' GOAL! Raheem Sterling scores on 90.
- Full Time. Manchester City FC beats Olympique de Marseille
