The victory was wasted. He avoided defeat, but there was no victory. Manchester City (hereinafter referred to as Manchester City) humiliatingly recorded “six official matches without a win” at home. Manchester City, which was scolded by Son Heung-min, met another Korean player Hwang In-beom (Feyenoord) at home and failed to beat him again.
Manchester City tied the game 3-3 at the fifth stage of the 2024-2025 UEFA Champions League phase at Etihad Stadium in Manchester, the U.K. on Sunday. It was a “sad game” in which Manchester City scored three goals first and lost three goals
Manchester City was ranked 15th with eight points. Feyenoord, who added one more valuable point in the away game, rose to 20th place with seven points.
The game was a really important game for Manchester City. As the core Rodri of the midfield left the battle line due to a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament, the performance became very unstable, and eventually fell into the “five consecutive losses” quagmire of official matches, starting with the loss of the League Cup to Tottenham in October. In particular, he suffered a helpless 0-4 defeat in the 12th round of the 2024-2025 English Premier League (EPL) home game against Tottenham held on the 24th.
On the contrary, Feyenoord was on a sharp rise, recording three consecutive league wins thanks to the performance of Hwang In-beom, who joined this season. On top of that, Hwang In-beom met Manchester City in the final group match of last season when he played for Tsurvena or Zvezda and scored one goal and one assist.
Feyenoord featured Faisang, Julian Karansa, 카지노사이트, Anis Haj Musa, Quentin Timber, Antony Milambo, Hwang In-beom, Hayes Smal, David Hantzko, Gernot Trauner, Bart Nyukov and Timon Bellen Reuters.
For Manchester City, Erling Holan, Jack Grealish, Phil Foden, Matheus Nunes, Bernardou Silva, Ilkay Guendoan, Yoshko Gvardiol, Nathan Ake, Manuel Akanji, Rico Lewis and Ederson Morales were the starters.
Manchester City strongly pushed ahead with the goal. Gündogan’s shot that Silva passed just two minutes into the first half hit Feyenoord’s foot. In the 10th minute, Holan headed Akanji’s cross but was blocked by Feyenoord goalkeeper Belen Reuters. Foden’s powerful left-footed shot in the 23rd minute was also blocked by Belen Reuters.
Feyenoord, which was unilaterally pushed, was connected with a shot by Faisang, who received a fantastic through pass from Hwang In-beom in the 32nd minute of the first half, but Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson easily caught it.
In the end, the first goal went to Manchester City. Manchester City scored a penalty kick in the 41st minute of the first half, and Holan, who was the kicker, scored a goal three minutes later.
Leading 1-0 in the first half, Manchester City quickly widened the gap at the start of the second half. In the fifth minute of the second half, Gündogan connected with a left-footed mid-range shot to make it 2-0. Three minutes later, Holan fired a shot from Núñez’s cross that caught the ball from the left side, widening the gap to 3-0.
The game seemed to end as the score continued until the middle of the second half, but a reversal that no one expected was waiting.
In the 30th minute of the second half, Feyenoord’s Hajj Musa intercepted the ball while Manchester City defenders did not handle it properly, and after beating Ederson, he made a comeback with an exquisite shot from a position without an angle.
Feyenoord, who turned the tide with this goal, scored an additional goal soon after. In the 36th minute of the second half, Jordão Rotomba received a cross from near the penalty area and passed it to Santiago Jimenez, who kicked it correctly to reduce the gap to 3-2.
In a hurry, Manchester City tried its best to maintain its one-goal lead. However, a miracle happened at 45 minutes in the second half. Faisang caught the ball that was passed from the back and crossed the goalie from the right side, which David Hantzko scored with a dramatic equalizer.
Manchester City players, who allowed them to chase the 3-0 lead to 3-3, were devastated, and in the end, they couldn’t do anything in the extra time given five minutes and left forlornly with the shabby result of a draw.
