Twenty minutes before the game, both sides played cautiously and the pace of the game was not fast. Manchester City kept the ball as usual, and gave it to Foden or Doku at the right time, so that they could try to break through the wing. Harland waited for the pass in the middle. On Chelsea's side, the defensive position is very good, not too close or too tight, which can't make Manchester City comfortably control the ball and the passing space is very small.

Chelsea really defended well, but their footwork was a little thicker than Manchester City's, and they never reached the restricted area. On the contrary, Manchester City's cross on the left seemed ordinary, and Ku Curella held Harland in the restricted area, and referee Anthony Taylor awarded a penalty. Manchester City took the lead and the game balance was broken. As the balance is broken, there are also cautious temptations from both sides. Backward Chelsea immediately increased the pressure and soon achieved results.
