Manchester City started strong at the Etihad Stadium. Pep Guardiola’s team scored the first goal within five minutes of the first half after shining in many arrivals from the start whistle. Finally, Leicester’s tenacity and confusion caused Kevin De Bruyne to drop the ball into the penalty area for four of them, then flip himself and end the cross before the empty reaction from the visiting team’s defenders.
the Citizens They didn’t let him down, and seven minutes later came the second goal from the penalty spot after Yuri Tillmans grabbed Aymeric Laporte by VAR. In the twelve steps, Riyad Mahrez did not miss kicking hard and higher.
The sudden doubling seemed to awaken those led by Brendan Rodgers, who began work on the opposite court with the goal of closing the gap and getting into the match. At the age of 17, James Madison hit a near-perfect free kick that hit the crossbar, in Leicester’s most dangerous play.
