First half summary
Two completely different games. City owned the ball from the first minute. United waited in their own field and defended themselves against the onslaught of the visitor.
With dynamics and a lot of mobility, Guardiola’s team was finding spaces in United’s defense. With centers from the wings and arrivals of players from behind, it was how the game was unlocked. In the 7th minute, Cancelo sent a cross from the left that Bailly failed to reject and ended the ball in the back of the net.
Neither Ronaldo nor Bruno managed to enter the game to rescue their team. Before the end of the first half, Cancelo again sent a cross from the left. Although the home defense thought he ended up on the end line, Silva came in behind everyone to push the ball to the back of the net.
