After the start of the match, Manchester City dominated possession while Manchester United focused on counterattacks.
This matched the tactical play of both teams and Manchester City's home advantage.
Unexpectedly, only 6 minutes in, Manchester City's players hadn't warmed up yet, and the opponent delivered a stunning attack!
Agüero's shot was blocked by Rojo, earning a corner kick for the team in the front field.
Kolarov took a short corner kick, intending to surprise through ground infiltration, disrupting Manchester City's defensive positioning.
But Gundogan, positioned as a defensive midfielder, hesitated after receiving the ball, seeing the crowded players in the penalty area, and forcibly made a direct pass!
The corner wasn't well handled, although it bypassed the gap between Manchester United's two defensive midfielders, it was intercepted steadily by Manchester United's center-back Blind midway.
"Press forward, charge ahead!"
