Somewhat of Gabriel Jesus ten minutes from the end gave the victory to the next Real Madrid rival in the Champions League.
The first part ended without goals, although both teams had a clear opportunity to score. The first, at eight minutes, was for the locals. Vardy stood before Ederson in his hand, but he crashed the ball into the post. The response of Manchester City came eight minutes later after a great collective play that culminated Gundogan in the small area and was met with a great intervention by Schmeichel.
Penalty failed by Agüero
The second half began at another pace and with Manchester City dominating. In fact, the visitors could get ahead in 62 ’from the penalty spot. Agüero was in charge of launching it, but Schmeichel guessed the direction of the shot. Ten minutes after the end of the statutory time, Gabriel Jesus scored, who shortly before replaced Agüero. The balance of the team led by Guardiola in this League is 18 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses.
