HOW DID THE GOALS ARRIVE?

Bernardo Silva, who received the ball on the right diagonal of the penalty area with an intermediate pass from De Bruyne at City, which increased his pressure, put his team ahead 1-0 in the 23rd minute, putting the ball into the net leather from the right corner with a low shot.

Ilkay Gundogan, who entered the Manchester City penalty area with a dribble, returned the ball from the defense and headed past Bernardo Silva in front of the goal. The Portuguese scored his and his team’s second goal in the 37th minute with a good header, setting the score for the first half: 2-0.
