Two Manchester teams - "Man Utd" and "Man City" clashed weapons at "Old Trafford" stadium. In an emotional and intense city derby, Pep Guardiola's pupils triumphed with a 1-2 result. From the very beginning of the match, football at "Old Trafford" fortress was lively. The "citizens" were slightly more active with the ball, but no dangerous opportunities were created in the first 5 minutes. The first serious strike came in the 7th minute when Paul Pogba tried his luck from a distance. Later, the guests from "Etihad" dictated the rules of the game, with territorial advantage. In the 15th minute, the stadium saw the first goal, but not in the net most of the "Red Devils" wanted. Aleksandar Kolarov made a long pass, Kelechi Iheanacho headed it to Kevin De Bruyne, and the Belgian broke through with an accurate shot to put the guests ahead. After the missed goal, "Man Utd" failed to show a more solid game. "Man City" continued to dominate with the ball and in the 36th minute, David De Gea had to pull the ball out of his own goal once again. K. De Bruyne hit the post, and the ball bounced straight to K. Iheanacho's feet. The African had no trouble with accuracy and the guests gained a two-goal advantage. However, despite creating nothing more serious, "Man Utd" managed to reduce the score in the 42nd minute. A mistake by goalkeeper Claudio Bravo left the goal open, and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, away from opponents, directed the ball into the net of "Man City." Towards the end of the first half, the dominating "City" footballers could have increased their lead. Once again, a mistake by C. Bravo near his own goal allowed Z. Ibrahimovic to have a shot, which this time was not accurate. In the second half, "Man Utd" were determined to turn the situation around and introduced two new players - Marcus Rashford and Ander Herrera. The "Red Devils" pressured the guests in the beginning of the half but failed to create anything special. In the 71st minute, Fernandinho had a good chance to increase the advantage for "Man City" but David De Gea reacted to his shot after a corner.
