Manchester City vs RB Leipzig: Goals show at Etihad Stadium

Manchester City appeared in the first game of Group A of the 2021/22 Champions League with the weight of being another of the favorites in the previous one and offered an offense that lived up to expectations, although their doubts allowed some troubles for RB Leipzig in a goal show for the Citizens 6-3 at Etihad Stadium.

Nathan Ake put the advantage at minute 16 of the game, after the center of Jack Grealish, and began to open the way to Pep Guardiola's team who handled the actions almost without problems in the first stage until the second in the goal against Nordi Mukiele, who wanted to clear Kevin de Bruyne's cross delivery and hit his own goal at the far post.

Before reaching the break, Christopher Nkunku contributed his first goal in the match for the discount that gave a little more parity to a match practically dominated by the Sky Blue. However, in the first seconds of the complement, the story was twisted again for the homeowner with the hand of Lukas Klostermann inside the area and that allowed the penalty executed with precision by Ryhad Mahrez.

Nkunku did not give up and, in an electrifying start to the second stage, he scored again at 51 'with a perfect header. To add a little more peace of mind, the great figure of Grealish did not spare at 56 'and used his precise shot to return to the difference of two goals on the scoreboard.

Shortly after, Ferrán Torres celebrated the fifth goal but it was canceled by offisde, which generated a reaction from the Germans, again from the figure of Nkunku who beat Ederson with a good shot inside the area.

City accelerated to seal the three points at home and at minute 75 Joao Cancelo appeared to take a violent shot that was unattainable for goalkeeper Péter Gulácsi's stretch. With one player less, due to the expulsion of Angeliño when he saw the second yellow, RB Leipzig only resigned until he saw the 6-3 with the conquest of Gabriel Jesús at 85 'when he took a ball at the far post.
