Mo Sallah has given Liverpool their first goal to take the lead. This is the 13th time that Sallah have scored City in their meeting. The early goal came in on the 13th minutes after Liverpool played their first corner in the match, and Sallah brilliantly shot the ball to the last corner of the right post. City will not give up easily.
City 0-1 Liverpool.
Manchester City are trying to dominate their home match. But even then Manchester City are 1-0 behind. After 35 minutes, Manchester City have managed to have 70% ball possession. So far, they have made a total of 5 shots, three of which were on target. But even then, Manchester City can break Liverpool's strong defense. Haaland is not in the squad today. Without Haaland, Manchester City's attack is quite weak.
On the other hand, Liverpool team is very tactical today. They are not attacking much. However, Liverpool players are trying to score goals from counterattacks. Liverpool have already taken the lead in the 14th minute with Salah's goal.
I don't know what went wrong with Man City, they were actually dominating the game, but what happened was they conceded 2 goals from their opponents. Man City won't be able to make a comeback if they keep attacking like that, and I think they have to do something more because Liverpool really have a solid defense.
This situation clearly makes Guardiola frustrated because he needs someone he can rely on to increase their attacking power, while on the one hand Erling Haaland, who is usually at the front, is injured.
