Traveling to Leipzig in the second match of the group stage of the Champions League, Manchester City scored an important victory with a view to the final classification of Group G. A six out of six for the Cityzens who leave RasenBallsport three lengths. If Loïs Openda scored his first goal in C1 for the Germans, it was Jérémy Doku who made the difference with a goal and an assist.
Manchester City, who had their foot on the ball since the start of the match, created two big chances in the space of five minutes. Both coming from the feet of Foden without succeeding in hitting the mark (14th, 19th). The England international did himself justice with his third attempt from close range as it finished in the back of the net to allow City to take the advantage (25th).
The second act started in the most beautiful way for Leipzig and for Loïs Openda, starter but not very present during the first half. Launched in depth, the Red Devil played on its speed to pass Akanji and score the equalizing goal thanks to a returning post (48th). The two Red Devils on the scoresheet almost crossed paths on the edge of the field as Loïs Openda gave way to Timo Werner in the 70th while Jérémy Doku took the field for Akanji two minutes later.
The Cityzens broke the deadlock and headed towards victory in the final minutes of the match. Well served by Doku at the entrance to the rectangle, Alvarez fired an unstoppable curling shot (84th). In added time, the Red Devil flew solo towards the German goal and planted a flat foot to secure the three points for his team (90th + 2).
