Manchester City did not play badly in the first half, but they conceded in the second half. Leipzig defended well and did not concede many goals, which is a success for them. I won't be surprised if we see a surprise result in the second match. Everyone thinks that Manchester City will easily win their home game, but if Leipzig has a good strategy, they can win the game
Initially, I was quite optimistic that City would overthrow Leipzig with a landslide score in this match. moreover, City had taken the lead in the 27th minute by Riyad Mahrez's goal. Leipzig were forced to play open after City went ahead. in fact, City controlled 74% ball possession in the first half. however, to be honest, this match went a little beyond my prediction, even though City actually dominated the match until the match ended, but unfortunately, City had difficulty breaking through the Leipzig defense, which was quite disciplined.
Meanwhile, Leipzig as the home team showed quite impressive resistance. after falling behind earlier, Leipzig were much more aggressive than in the first half. they put up a fierce resistance, until in the end the home team was able to equalize at 1-1. This result is clearly beyond our prediction. I even thought that Haaland would contribute a goal. as a result, we lost the bet.
