00:00well it wasn't a half without some chances too and certainly the better of
00:10those came through the likes of Manchester City plenty of action down
00:15there attacking right as was Lauren Hemph, Keston Kaspari too getting involved in a lot
00:21of play and Manchester's did spend a lot of the time camped in their own
00:25attacking half and this is the versatility we see in their attacking
00:28front three combination and that was probably one of the best chances that we
00:33saw Manchester City have in that it's at the other end of things for Leicester
00:37City Noemi Michon really a bright light in what was otherwise a first half of
00:42limited options for the Foxes and that one did have Chiara Keating a little bit
00:47worried she certainly got involved in play the Manchester City goalkeeper but
00:55didn't have too much to do in the got involved in play the Manchester City
01:01goalkeeper but didn't have too much to do in the way of shot-stopping there's
01:09these chances from corners and on this right-hand side this combination we saw
01:14a few times through press from City is coming though and it's coming through
01:17the likes of Chloe Kelly who worked really hard to try and keep that play
01:22alive from Michon good strength on the ball and that pass to excellent
01:31releases Leicester striving forward doesn't quite have the numbers in that
01:35pass a little short Michon has looked promising swings in an early ball
01:41Kaspari cool he deals with that started all seven games for the lionesses that's
01:48well read by Chloe Kelly doesn't defensive duties and that pass almost
01:55causing a few headaches for Leipzig but it won't be the result they want it's
01:59not a bad position to be in it's a combination again Park Kelly sweeping
02:06through and that one prodded directly toward goal but Leipzig was positioned
02:12well in it's yet to have capitalized I did mention it took a while for the
02:18deadlock to be broken last time these two teams met back in February as part
02:23of the regular women's Super League season to go to the 82nd minute
02:32it's clever arms in the air for offside but nothing doing fall again to the
02:41citizens of the Blues got them through for clinching the league title no doubt
02:53the team and Gareth Taylor will want to go one better this would now
02:58tension from Michon and that does enough just to redirect the path keep Lauren
03:04hemp under wraps but again Manchester down this left-hand side ball knotted
03:10into the center of the park it might fall just short to Jess Park but she
03:16does her most to keep it alive Missy Goodwin copying the brunt
03:28referee perhaps the teammate was looking for a pass that wasn't there nice ball
03:33from Greenwood threading the needle as she so often does and base and good
03:41brown nice to Pritchard dances through to Leicester defenders gets a ball in
03:47but doesn't quite have enough to evade the outstretched arms
03:53nice combination play here good early ball into the box as well can't go
04:01kidding searching ball over the top is not a bad one before it's turned back
04:09around and Tyler driving in looking for the ball to Michonne but Greenwood is
04:13back she's there as it's just kept alive from love you had a little slip on the
04:18ball city can break for that's a nice pass to find Jess Park but prodded away
04:26was by the corner that little inside run to is making things hard for Leicester
04:33ball into the box is a good one nodded away from Michonne strikes there it's an
04:38awkward one hasn't been dealt with just a bit scrappy in the final third there
04:44her own defensive third Leicester looking for a way out and that touch
04:48just evades the step of Michonne who has bodied through Alex Greenwood on the way
04:56through Manchester City can find the pass to break the lines and break
05:03through the lines of the Leicester defense that through a hefty challenge
05:11good shoulder-to-shoulder as Lauren Hempst released she's got space in front
05:15little glance up gets the cross in lobs over all heads ultimately drops to Jess
05:22Park who has her back to goal you can look to build again here's Chloe Kelly
05:27a cop the Dutch goalkeeper 26 years old this is a second season at Manchester
05:34City test some options out as speed of testing options out it's city's defense
05:48is going to be tested to begin with and it's an awkward one not as Yamashita has
05:53come on for Manchester City it's a good look I mean they're attacking half in
05:58this opening 60 seconds to the middle him has a little bit of time to think
06:05about it left foot cross grappled well through Dan Rose a Canadian international
06:12this is a good physical challenge we're going to see between these two players
06:15and Kaspari had a busy first half but she's got a different prospect in the
06:19likes of for now it's Natala driving in we know she can score a goal
06:25Natala looks for an option gets a shot away it's taken well
06:29Jamie Mouchon, Jess Park has space takes space here's Kelly well taken ball cut
06:37back Jess Park gets the shot away blocked for company it's a foot race
06:42Mouchon striding away good speed shown by the 21 year old she has options in
06:48the middle of the box it's a wonderful centering ball and it's an even better
06:51save from Yamashita well that opened up beautifully for the Foxes and Rantala
06:59well she'll be frustrated with herself a little give and go with Mouchon
07:05Mouchon hooks, the ball goes, can get her head up a little shift of the shoulder
07:11looking to get the shot away does get the shot away saved again by Yamashita
07:15this game starting to pick up
07:22Mouchon with a turn of speed she has Rantala in support at the far post if
07:27she can find it here's Park again nice little release pass to Pritchard it's a
07:33dangerous ball as well a centering one they're both defender and goalkeeper
07:38delivery is long and far loop in falls
07:45and the captain's armband over and takes a well-deserved lead and there is
07:51time to play and we'll see how this changes the dynamic of the game
07:56that's prodded away looks like it will be and they're just a city corner
08:03Lewis with some early touches and now Fowler hooked in a cross on the left
08:11is Shaw running powerfully through that ball through stints of course across
08:18Australia in the A-League but here's Fowler first time crossing to the box is
08:23tricky to deal with for the Foxes
08:27tight spaces not much space to work with Foxes dominating the area and it's
08:32knotted through I forward nice little shift of the shoulder from Deanne Rose
08:39she glances up gets the eyes forward it's there is no score the game will be
08:46going straight to penalties a little clip of the heels there of Bunny Shaw she's
08:49brought down heavily Mr. Lyons now Jess Park a little layoff to Fowler Fowler
08:55can look to get the shot away does so hits it with a fair bit of venom as well
09:01Lisa Copp had to be down had to be strong but Mary Fowler we know she is so
09:06capable
