"City were in control from the kick off and had some early chances to break the deadlock. In the 9th minute, a shot from Haaland in the box was met with the hand of Kobel and another shot from Doku went just wide. The first goal came in the 22nd minute when Reijnders passed the ball to Foden on the edge of the box, who turned and struck the ball sweetly with his left foot into the bottom corner to give the Blues the lead."
"Doku collected the ball on the left side and crossed into Haaland who turned and powered the ball into the back of the net to double the lead for City. A chance to make it three came on the stroke of half time with a powerful shot from Reijnders which was well saved again by Kobel, rebounding off the head of Haaland for a goal kick. City led 2-0 at halftime."
