On Tuesday evening at 19:55 in the UEFA Champions League, the first two matches of the second group stage round were played.
In group F, the "Manchester City" team fought for crucial points. Pep Guardiola's team tried to recover from their defeat in the first group stage match in Germany. England's champions had to fight hard for the victory - in the last moments of the match, they defeated "Hoffenheim" with a score of 2:1.
The "Citizens" started the match tragically - almost in the first attack, "Hoffenheim" gained an advantage. Ishak Belfodil, after a good pass from his teammate, scored a precise goal against Ederson.
However, "Man City" quickly equalized - after a pass from Leroy Sane, Sergio Aguero sent the ball past the opponent's legs into the hosts' net in less than ten minutes.
Later, the "cityzens" dominated and had enough chances to secure the victory, but they had to wait until the 87th minute for the second goal.
There was a misunderstanding in the "Hoffenheim" defense - one of the defenders hesitated to clear the ball, David Silva took advantage of it and scored the much-needed victory for the English representatives.
In the first match, "Man City" lost to the "Lyon" team, so they achieved their first points only last night.
In other matches, where two teams from group H met, Turin's "Juventus" taught a lesson to the "Young Boys" footballers. Led by Paulo Dybala, the "old lady" celebrated their second victory in the group stage with a score of 3:0.
Playing without Cristiano Ronaldo, the "Juventus" team found another leader - P. Dybala ended the match with a hat-trick.
In the first half, the Argentine scored two goals, adding another in the middle of the second half. At the end of the match, the opponents were left with one player less, but the hosts didn't score any more goals.
