copy and paste. As happened in the first leg, Manchester City easily eliminated Copenhagen 3-1. The biggest difference: The Belgians did not play a leadership role this time. Kevin De Bruyne sat on the bench for 90 minutes, and Jeremy Doku watched from the stands as he suffered some pain.
9 minutes. Manchester City did not need much longer to remove all hope of a miracle from FC Copenhagen.
A corner kick from Alvarez fell to the feet of the solo Akanji, who managed to smash the opening goal into the ropes with a single kick. Moments later it happened again. Initially, Rodri's header hit the crossbar, but at the beginning of the second half, Alvarez's shot passed through the hands of goalkeeper Grabara: 2-0.
City then dominated the match without creating any big chances, until Elyounoussi scored the equalizer out of nowhere. After a good exchange with Oscarsson, he easily pushed the ball past Ederson.
No Belgians, only Haaland
The three goals made the first half hour interesting.
Likewise for the Belgian viewers, as they no doubt swore for a moment after the lineup was announced. De Bruyne was given an extra rest by Guardiola and remained on the bench (90 minutes), and Doku did not even get on the scoresheet. “He had some ailments,” his coach said.
Only on time against Copenhagen: Erling Haaland.
Shortly before the end of the first half, the Norwegian evaded the offside trap and was able to send his team to the end of the first half with a double lead. After the break, both teams never woke up from sleep mode, and it was time to wait for the final whistle.
The mission is over for Manchester City, who along with Real Madrid will join Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League quarter-finals.
Stage after stage
City do what they have to do, put Copenhagen aside and talk easy. After two goals in the first 10 minutes, the game was effectively over. Elyounoussi gave the Danish citizen some courage, but Haaland immediately suppressed him.
City won 3-1, just like in the first leg, and can prepare for the quarter-finals.
Still almost 4-1
In extra time, Lewis had a shot on goal again. His ball takes a deflection and explodes onto the crossbar. There is no goal for a teenager.
3- Extra time
An additional 3 minutes will be added.
The invisible Haaland managed to step up once this evening and it immediately led to a goal. We didn't see him again after that and that was a signal for Guardiola to send him away.
Copenhagen can counter on the counter. On a high ball, Cornelius and Akanji both launch high with their leg, but only the latter touches the ball. Cornelius received a yellow card for dangerous play.
Elyounoussi high
Once again the ball ends up at the feet of a Copenhagen player. From outside the penalty area, Elyounoussi shoots the ball randomly.
Pinball machine for target
On a Copenhagen corner kick, the ball fell at McKenna's feet. He is too surprised to do anything with it and then kicks the ball towards his teammate Deeks. Fortunately for City, the ball fell dead and Ederson could pick it up easily.
Nunes dislocated finger
Nunes slides away and lies there groaning in pain. His finger has been dislocated and the Portuguese therefore needs care.
Guardiola plays it safe and brings Hamilton in his place.
