Not long after the game started, Manchester City made a threat. Gundogan passed the ball from the left side. Foden did not choose to shoot directly, but passed the ball to the middle. Unfortunately, no teammates were in that position. In the 6th minute, Foden sent a cross from the right. Glarish, who was unmarked, stopped the ball and kicked up a shot, which was blocked by the defensive player in front of the goal. In the 13th minute, Joe Worrell knocked down Grealish and got a yellow card. In the 20th minute, De Bruyne passed the ball to Harland near the baseline, and Harland turned around and lost the ball. Five minutes later, De Bruyne tried a long shot and it missed.
In the 33rd minute, De Bruyne sent a precise cross from the right. Rodri Hernandez completed a header in an absolutely open space, but the result was missed, which is a pity. Rodri was very annoyed and put his head in his hands. Six minutes later, Bernardo Silva tried a long shot from the outside, which went slightly wide. In the 41st minute, Manchester City scored! Grealish sent a cross, and Bernardo Silva at the front of the penalty area shot directly, and the ball went into the goal like a cannonball. This foot world wave is too incomprehensible. At halftime, Manchester City led Nottingham Forest 1-0.
changed sides to fight again in the second half. In the 48th minute, Manchester City relied on a counterattack to get an excellent single-handed opportunity. Foden broke into the penalty area, thought too much and kicked, and was cleared by the defender. It is enough to fail if a single-handed chance is handled like this. Five minutes later, Laporte made a header from close range in front of the goal, and it was a little straight. Navas blocked the ball. Nottingham Forest was in a bit of a mess, but it was pretty good that the score was not expanded by the opponent. In the 56th minute, Walker sent a cross from the right, and Gundogan outflanked the goal. He was a step slower and failed to kick the ball.
In the 65th minute, Harland broke into the penalty area and fell to the ground after being pulled by the opponent. The referee did not make any penalty. This decision was somewhat controversial. Guardiola was very dissatisfied with the referee and was shown a yellow card. Two minutes later, Foden's strong shot was saved, and Harland followed up with a supplementary shot. The ball hit the crossbar and popped out. Harland took another shot, which was kicked away this time. Harland was a bit out of luck. In the 72nd minute, Gundogan took a direct free kick and Navas flew to lift the ball over the crossbar. In the 83rd minute, Nottingham Forest scored! Gibbs White sent a cross, and Chris Wood outflanked and scored in front of the goal to complete the tie. Guardiola was dumbfounded. In the end, Manchester City 1-1 Nottingham Forest. Manchester City lost 2 key points, missed the summit, and fell behind Arsenal by 2 points.
