Transcript
00:00THE CHAMPIONS!
00:31Manchester City get this match underway.
00:34Slovan Bratislava at home in the Champions League proper
00:38for the first time.
00:41Early pressure from the Premier League champions.
00:48Gundogan's delivery and very competently dealt with
00:51at the back by the hosts who will look to break.
00:54The ball played up to Vladimir Weiss
00:56and Weiss has got away from Phil Foden.
01:00And suddenly it's Manchester City who are backpedalling.
01:03Who looks to try and find an opening.
01:05The pass from Nunez a little loose.
01:07Akanji.
01:11Manchester City with 80% of the play
01:13in the opening moments of the game.
01:15Perhaps no surprise there.
01:17Doku.
01:20Sending it across. First time shot.
01:22Headed away by Kashiyan and it takes a deflection.
01:25Ilkay Gundogan's shot deflecting home.
01:28Manchester City ahead in the eighth minute.
01:36And eight minutes into the second group game.
01:39It's the sixth goal shipped by Slovan Bratislava.
01:43Headed by Kashiyan.
01:47Falling at the feet of Ilkay Gundogan.
01:51And a deflection coming off Kiriakos Savidis.
01:59Foden.
02:04Former Tottenham and Stoke City player
02:07on the left-hand side of the home defence this evening.
02:11Almost a quarter of an hour in.
02:14As Foden just slides it through to Jeremy Doku again.
02:19Back with Foden.
02:21It's 2-0 Manchester City.
02:24And Phil Foden celebrates his first start of the season
02:29with his first goal of the new campaign.
02:32And inside 15 minutes,
02:34Manchester City have a two-goal cushion already.
02:38Doku, who's seen so much of the ball,
02:41feeding it through and it was perfectly placed
02:45by Phil Foden.
02:48Out of reach, beyond the outstretched fingertips
02:51of Dominic Takacs.
02:55And it has the looks of a potentially long night.
03:05Rico Lewis, Erling Haaland, saved by Takacs.
03:12Manchester City carry a very menacing threat
03:15every time they get near to
03:17Sloven Bratislava's goal.
03:24Here's Lewis.
03:28Again, there's space for Doku now.
03:31Up against Kevin Bimmer once more.
03:33Sliding it into Rico Lewis.
03:35Blocked by Takacs.
03:36Headed away by Bimmer.
03:38Nice beating to it by Akanji.
03:40Doku collects and goes for goal.
03:44Conceded the free kick.
03:46Here's the shot from Rico Lewis.
03:49Blocked by Takacs.
03:50Signed in the summer from Spartak Gundogan.
03:56Keeps it simple but effective into Foden.
03:59And Takacs is a lucky fellow there.
04:04Well, here it is again.
04:05Phil Foden looking for his second game of the season.
04:07Takacs just got his fingers to it
04:10and the bounce was kind.
04:13Gundogan.
04:16Here's Lewis.
04:21Keeps clear of his marker as Foden sweeps the shot.
04:32Given away again.
04:34Maybe another opportunity.
04:36Gundogan considers his options.
04:38Decides to go for goal.
04:40And for the second time in the half.
04:45The ball bouncing off the frame of the goal.
04:50Savino.
04:57That'll do it for the first half.
04:58Manchester City dominant in every sense of the word.
05:01Ilkay Gundogan opening the scoring in the eighth minute.
05:05Phil Foden making it two inside.
05:08Now Jeremy Doku.
05:13Faced by Wimmer.
05:16What a handful.
05:17Lewis beaten away by Talac.
05:23Viric.
05:24And by Savidis.
05:27Guardiola's there.
05:30Viric.
05:31And by Savidis.
05:34Guardiola's there.
05:36Ahead of Savidis, the Greek midfielder.
05:41Nicely done by Tellez Nunez for Manchester City.
05:50Picking out Savino in towards Foden.
05:53Really in close control.
05:56Over it goes to Erling Haaland.
05:59Who can't find the back of the net this time.
06:04He's kept it.
06:05Scored his first goal since returning to the club during the first half.
06:09In from Doku.
06:10No great ball.
06:11He was trying to find Foden.
06:13Weiss sliding in.
06:14Good play from the captain of Sloven Bratislava.
06:17As Strelet sends it forward.
06:19And now the race is on.
06:21Guardiola.
06:23Gets back goal side of Barsegian.
06:25White shirts come racing forward.
06:27And Barsegian goes for goal.
06:29And claps John Stones in the face with that shot.
06:43Haaland times his run.
06:45I think he's timed it well.
06:47Round the goalkeeper.
06:483-0 Manchester City.
06:52Well he looked frustrated a few minutes ago.
06:56Heading wide.
06:58But he's all smiles now.
07:00There.
07:01Clearly on side as he made the run.
07:03Away from Guram Kashir.
07:05There was no catching.
07:06Manchester City's number 9.
07:10That's an excellent through ball.
07:12Composed.
07:14And too quick.
07:16And it's Sloven Bratislava nil.
07:18Manchester City 3.
07:22Haaland on the score sheet.
07:30Erling Haaland will be rested for the remainder of the game.
07:38As Manchester City make changes.
07:42For what remains.
07:44And Haaland.
07:45Back into Foden.
07:47Patient here from the English champions.
07:50As it's floated into the penalty area.
07:52Lewis thought about having a crack.
07:56Doku whips it into the near post.
08:00Straight into the gloves of Dominic Takacs.
08:04And these are for title.
08:05In each of the last 6 seasons.
08:07As Mateus Nunes flights it through.
08:09Right onto the boot of Rico Lewis.
08:13This group stage.
08:14They won all 6 matches in the group stage last season.
08:17Of course we've got 8 matches this time round.
08:19And they were held to a draw by Inter in the first game.
08:39Donovan finding Lewis.
08:42McAteer happy to leave it to Stones.
08:45Here comes Rico Lewis.
08:46The little flick from Foden.
08:48Last hope.
08:50Little look across from James McAteer.
08:534-0 Manchester City.
08:55And what a big moment for him.
08:58Sloven Bratislava 0.
09:00Manchester City 4.
09:03A really well taken goal.
09:07Foden's flick.
09:09McAteer's finish.
09:11Foden's finish.
09:17And the England under to it.
09:25Here comes headed away by Savidis.
09:41Mateus Nunes.
09:47Foden's flick.
09:48McAteer.
09:49Could be in again here.
09:50Denied by Takacs.
09:53You've got his gloves to it.
10:01Gundogan's delivery.
10:02And a powerful header coming in from John Stones.
10:12Scored in the 2-2 draw with Arsenal Stones.
10:18Far away from making it 5.
10:26Little surge from Grealish in towards Gundogan.
10:29And still and it's saved.
10:31By Talac.
10:36Dominic Takacs the goalkeeper.
10:39Able to deflect it behind.
10:46Gundogan's shot looking for his second of the night.
10:49Takacs with the save.
10:51With his left shin.
10:53119 caps for Georgia.
10:58Gundogan's delivery.
10:59Stones' header.
11:09Stones!
11:10Stones!
11:11Stones!
11:12Stones!
11:13Stones!
11:14Last minute of the 90.
11:15Shot blasted in by Kyle Walker.
11:18And Takacs is there.
11:20Pressure still on the home goalkeeper.
11:24And it's yet another Manchester City corner.
11:28...stage for Slovan Bratislava.
11:30They've conceded nine goals in their opening two matches.
11:33Five to Celtic and now four to Manchester City.
11:36A very professional job done by Pep Guardiola.
