Towards the end of the match, a defence-splitting pass was taken in his stride by Phil Foden in the box. Without even looking up he drilled a shot low towards the middle of the goal, but Aaron Ramsdale pulled off a comfortable save.

 

 

Seven minutes to duration time, Rodri jumped for a header from the resulting corner kick and sent the ball in on goal, but the goalkeeper made a very good save.

Earlier, Kai Havertz took a good first touch from the pass, but mishits his shot low towards the middle of the goal and allowed the Stefan Ortega to make a comfortable save.

 

On 25 minutes, in the first half, Gabriel Martinelli reacted well to get to the rebound and took a shot from the edge of the box, but he failed to get the ball through the players standing between him and the goal.

On 40 minutes, a fine pass found Havertz in space inside the box, he looked up and drilled a low shot towards the middle of the goal, but the Stefan Ortega reacted superbly to deny him.
