PL: United, City Share Spoils As Manchester Derby Ends In Stalemate
The match started with some early intensity. United’s Alejandro Garnacho broke free in the first minute, but City’s Ruben Dias fouled him just outside the box, earning a yellow card. Bruno Fernandes took the resulting free-kick, but City’s defensive wall did its job and blocked the attempt. After that early burst of action, the game settled into a more subdued rhythm. Neither side was able to create much in the way of clear chances. City’s Phil Foden and Ilkay Gundogan both fired shots wide of the target, while Kevin De Bruyne’s low drive was saved by United’s goalkeeper Andre Onana. City’s Omar Marmoush had a shot blocked, and United struggled to break down City’s defense.
The second half played out in a similar fashion, with neither team able to seize control of the game. City had a promising chance early on when Marmoush laid the ball off for Foden, but the England international’s effort was under pressure and lacked the necessary power to trouble Onana. Guardiola made changes to inject energy into the game, bringing on Jeremy Doku for Foden, but the match remained flat.
