In the classroom. Man City quietly beat Leicester



[ad_1]

In the central match of the round, the championship leader and the team that is in third place faced each other. A combat game with a large number of goals and scoring chances was foreseen.

But nothing of the kind happened. Manchester City controlled the ball with confidence and tried to methodically undermine the opponent’s defense. Leicester, in turn, sank in their own field (possession of the ball at one point in the game was indecent – 4:96) and tried to run off on counterattacks, but without much success.

This tactic from the guests paid off: Benjamin Mendy, who switched to Oleksandr Zinchenko at the beginning (who, by the way, did not even enter the app for the game), received the ball in the corner of the penalty area, beat the opponent and put him in the furthest corner with eight meters with his right foot.

Leicester tried to fight back, but failed. And the point in the match was put by Jesus after a great combination and an almost empty goal.

0: 2 – Manchester’s team took the next step towards their championship title.
