A one team game.In the 25th minute of the match, City had four shots on goal, but the guest team could not find the goal.Additionally, Pep Guardiola's team had 70% of the ball.
Controversy with VAR.In the 35th minute of the first half, Marmoush tried to dribble towards Mosquera, and the ball hit the Wolves defender during the play.VAR called on referee Farai Hallam to analyze the move and consider a possible penalty for City.The referee rejected VAR's suggestion and did not award a penalty as the defender's leg turn affected the play and nullified the possible foul.
