FULL-TIME, COPENHAGEN 1-3 MAN CITY. A masterclass from City, simply magnificent. Haaland hardly in the match yet he made plenty of impact on the match. Foden and De Bruyne were both magnificent, Doku was dangerous as always, and Rodri was his typical quiet but impactful self. For Copenhagen, Grabara pulled off a few magnificent saves along with a couple of lucky blocks, and his team-mates certainly gave a good account of themselves but they just couldn't haul this City side in. They face a massive, massive task looking ahead to their visit to the Etihadbut all you can do is take it one goal at a time and see how the bones fall. Another great night of Champions League footballwe await eagerly the second leg! Hope you enjoyed following the action with us tonight!
GOAL, MAN CITY, FODEN! 1-3; Superb play from City, pouring forward, Foden rolling a ball into the box for De Bruyne to run onto, his pulls it back from the byline and Foden has run sideways and gets it a few feet outside the six-yard box and Foden side-foots it powerfully into the back of the net, despite the efforts of Grabara! Magnificent team goal, and that's City's seventh three-goal win out of three in this season's Champions League. Master-class!
CLOSE! CLOSE! CLOSE! City pour forward, Haaland with a great shot from inside the box but it's saved by Grabara with his legs, it comes out to Nunes who shoots but his effort is blocked. And Foden has a crack.
De Bruyne presses forward and slides a ball to the right of the box for Haaland, but the Copenhagen defender is there to clear the dangerbut City are still on the ball and passing.
