The first-half was studied between both sides as Antonio Nusa almost scored from distance, a quarter of an hour after Gianluigi Donnarumma failed to keep hold of the ball from a long-distance effort, and fortunately parried it backwards and over the crossbar.

However, one player who did hit his own goal was RB Leipzig’s Castello Lukeba, making a mess inside the box and deflecting Nico O’Reilly’s cross via his knee on 37 minutes, opening the scoring for Manchester City.

The visitors' first attempt on target actually came two minutes after Lukeba’s error, as Erling Haaland headed a weak effort from a cross into the hands of goalkeeper Martin Vandervoort.
