The visitors showed resilience and kept their shape as Mats Hummels and Thomas Meunier made good starts to the game. Rodri, Akanji and Nathan Ake looked solid at the back for City as they created most of their passing combinations from the back. They created several chances and attempted multiple shots on goal, but none hit the target. Erling Haaland had very few touches in the first period as Manchester City struggled to get the ball to his feet. Despite keeping 64% of the possession, City were unable to break through Dortmund's defense. Riyad Mahrez and Jack Grealish were often isolated as the visitors managed to keep the game narrow with their disciplined approach tactically. Neither side managed to score as the teams went into the break deadlocked at 0-0. Manchester City@ManCityHALF-TIME Goalless at the break.

Managers from either side seemed to have learnt from their mistakes in the first half and set up the team accordingly. However, Borussia Dortmund struck first. Marco Reus initially had a lovely chance to score after beating Akanji with a lovely feint. Shortly after, he turned provider as he played a teasing cross into the box. Jude Bellingham did well to get past his marker to head the ball into the net to make it 1-0 after 56 minutes. Pep Guardiola made three changes immediately after the goal as he looked to turn things around. What initially seemed like a knee-jerk reaction soon started to bear fruit as Manchester City played at a higher tempo.

Dortmund soon switched things up, playing with more physicality and leaving a little extra behind in tackles. However, Manchester City were no pushovers. They played with increased confidence and committed several men forward in a bid to equalize. John Stones ventured forward on one occasion and received the ball from De Bruyne about 25 yards from goal. Stones struck it sweetly and the ball found the back of the net. Shortly after, Cancelo played a trivela cross into the box, which Haaland converted to make it 2-1. The home crowd were right behind the team as they sang with passion. Manchester City ended with a flourish as they created several chances in the closing stages. They secured the win and all three points, maintaining top spot in Group G. That said, let's take a loot at the five hits and flops from the game.
