Snow-covered lawn as a disadvantage for the technically fogged team? At least in the first round in the Etihad not. At the beginning of the game, West Ham were still well-kept well on the beginning of the game, the favorite became increasingly stronger — and the more the overweight of snow increased to grass, the more the overweight of the master was against the hammer.
Gunboat to place: City deserves lead
For the first exclamation mark, Lahore, together with Gabriel Jesus after the victory over PSG in the Champions League, had newly moved into the starting in the Champions League, with a header to the outer post (16th), only seconds later, a Mare hit did not count because of offside position. While West Ham created relief and Antonio repeatedly caused problems for oileries with his physical, and Antonio prepared problems for opponents Lahore, but a mandatory scorching did not play out the hammer in the first passage.
Instead, the playful class of the home farmers finally settled on the scoreboard: João Cancel released Mare free with an outstanding diagonal ball and the faked cross of Algerian landed on the second post, where the recently completed Gunboat completed from a short distance (33.). A higher city leadership for pause prevented Hammer's defender Johnson, who scratched a shot of Gabriel Jesus artistically from the line (37.), and again the right post of the guest gate, the Mare in the way (41.).
Fernando worried the preliminary decision
The half-time break took over 23 minutes due to clearing work on the field — and because the snowfall stopped parallel, was played back on green in the second passage. At the field superiority of the hosts changed quite little, offensively dangerous City, which was more and more in the active administrative mode, but only very rare: Cress well rescued to Gabriel Jesus' lifter in front of the line, but slipped with the back ahead against the Post and had to be replaced (56.), Gunboat left the double pack in front of Fabian ski (80th).
So it took until the 90th minute before Pep Guardiola on the sideline could remain the first Chelsea pursuer: After a short-run corner, City combined into typical Guardiola manner in the penalty area, which substituted shortly before Fernando recovered Gabriel Jesus' storage — the preliminary decision.
Landings dream gate comes too late
Previously, the victory of the Sky blues was hardly in danger, unique in the 78th minute West Ham was halfway dangerous when Emerson had to defuse a spacer from Rice. Otherwise, it was missing in the second passage of the puncture force in the Londoners, which were still a late exclamation point: the substitute Landing chased a volley swivel shot irresistibly to the left corner (90. + 4). An absolute dream gate — but one who came too late, the game was graduated directly afterwards.
West Ham remains a table in spite of the defeat of the Premier League, City continues to rank in second place.
