Entering the match, the home team had more possession of the ball, but the attacks lacked accuracy. Tottenham, meanwhile, took the initiative to defend tightly and make the most of counter-attacking opportunities.
In the 35th minute, Richarlison escaped down the right wing and crossed for Brennan Johnson to finish into the James Trafford net, opening the score for the away team. After consulting VAR, the referee confirmed the goal as valid.
As the first half entered the extra time, Man City made a serious mistake. Goalkeeper Trafford passed the ball dangerously right in front of the goal, creating conditions for Richarlison to steal the ball and assist Palhinha to score, raising the score to 2-0.
In the second half, coach Pep Guardiola sent Rodri and Foden onto the field to increase their attack. Despite creating many dangerous situations, from Rodri and Bernardo Silva's heads to Haaland and Marmoush' shots, "The Citizens" still could not penetrate Tottenham's strong defense as well as the excellence of goalkeeper Vicari.
In the end, the match ended with a score of 2-0 in favor of Tottenham. This result helped the "Roosters" win all 2 rounds after the first 2 rounds, while Man City received the first defeat of the new season.
