In the 33rd minute, from the visitors' counter-attack, Dias let Openda through and the visitors' striker defeated Ortega again, raising the score to 2-0.
After a shaky first 45 minutes, Man City showed their determination not to lose at home by making three substitutions at the start of the second half. Guardiola's adjustments quickly paid off. In the 54th minute, Foden created a favorable pass for Haaland to get down and receive the ball before shooting diagonally, narrowing the score to 1-2.
