Man City vs Red Star Belgrade LIVE: Latest Champions League updates – The Independent

79 mins: Jeremy Doku has been moved to the left side where he played when facing West Ham in the Premier League. He is a direct runner and he likes to take on players.

A flick of his feet and a shot at goal result in his effort being blocked inside the penalty, but that won’t deter him from trying again if he gets the chance.

76 minutes: Man City will now try to recover the score. They stepped up a gear in the second half, out of necessity after Red Star scored first.

The match is over now and City will take all three points. The icing on the cake will be a goal for Erling Haaland.

73 mins: He looked hungry to score all night and now has his goal. Manchester City’s Rodri receives the ball just outside the penalty area and is not blocked by the Red Star defense.

Instead, they put it down and allow Rodri to bring the ball back into the box. He coolly guides the ball into the far corner unopposed and City get their third.

67 minutes: Julian Alvarez should score a hat-trick. He played into space in the box and fired a decent effort but could only find the side netting.

It’s just another reminder of how good the Argentine striker is.

64 minutes: Save! Kyle Walker launches a deep cross into the box as Erling Haaland moves away from his marker. He meets the ball in the air and nods it, but Omri Glazer keeps the post and pushes the ball onto the upright where it rebounds to safety.

60 minutes: Manchester City scores a second goal. They win a free kick to the left of the penalty with Phil Foden and Julian Alvarez on top.

Alvarez takes the shot and curls it towards the far corner. The ball goes in but Omri Glazer should take care of it. He comes out to push it away but misses the ball with his fist and pushes it into the back of the net.

57 minutes: Luck! Julian Alvarez shoots from close range and smokes the effort straight at the goalkeeper. Omri Glazer fumbles the ball and sets up Erling Haaland from close range.

Haaland only has time to push the ball towards the goal and he is not able to lift it high enough above the goalkeeper who touches the ball and prevents it from crossing the line.

56 minutes: Ruben Dias hits Bukari with a heavy tackle and is shown a yellow card. It’s the third of the evening.

City continue to push forward with Pep Guardiola plotting a change on the sidelines.

53 minutes: Goal denied! Kyle Walker runs into the box from the right side of the field as the ball is cut over the top. He controls it and looks for a cut but the ball is sent back to the City captain.

He then pushes it into the back of the net but the offside flag goes up and the goal is scored. However, City look dangerous again.

51 mins: Alvarez dictates City’s play from midfield. He passes the ball to Jeremy Doku on the right side but the winger has nowhere to go.

The ball returns to Alvarez who holds it and waits for his teammates to overload the Red Star defense.
