„Manchester City“ team started the season in the „Premier“ league with a victory. In London Olympic stadium, the „citizens“ defeated the hosts „West Ham United“ 2:0. At the beginning of the match, the „hammers“ seemed to have a slight advantage, but overall, the visitors from Manchester dominated the game, especially in controlling the ball. In the first half, „Manchester City“ had possession of the ball for 79% of the time. Erling Haaland scored his debut goal in the „Premier“ league by converting a penalty, which he earned himself. In the second half, the new „Man City“ striker scored another goal, immediately after a brilliant pass from Kevin De Bruyne. In the 78th minute, Haaland was substituted after scoring a "brace". Throughout the game, „West Ham“ had only two half-chances to score, but their players Jarrod Bowen and Declan Rice failed to capitalize. In the next round, Pep Guardiola's team will face „Bournemouth“ at home, while the „West Ham“ team will travel to the „Nottingham Forest“ stadium.
