Manchester City defeated Manchester United 4-1 in the first leg of the semifinal in the Carabao Cup. Goal scored by Bernardo Silva, Riad Mahrez. The other goal was from the suicide of United midfielder Andrea Pereira. United’s comforting goal is for English striker Marcus Rashford
Manchester United is no longer that day. Every week new episodes of their weaknesses unfold in the audience. Every week, the Rushford-Marshalls show how far behind they are in comparison to the other top clubs in England. Last night was no exception. In the first leg of the Carabao Cup semifinal, they lost to Manchester City 4-1 at Old Trafford.
The two-time champions Manchester City have confirmed that they will go to the finals just before the second leg of their match. United was outscored 1-0 in the first half, with exactly 5 minutes to play. The city lost an unexpected loss to United in the latest Derby in the league. From that irritation, Pep Guardiola’s disciples, at first, shook the United States altogether.
There was no traditional striker on the field like Sergio Aguero or Gabriel Jesus. English winger Rahim Sterling plays as a striker. In addition, offensive players like Kevin De Bruyne and Riyad Mahrez were often strikers in the match. As a result, who will leave whom I mark, Manchester United have played in almost the entire match.
Within 5 minutes of the match, the result of the match is determined. Portuguese winger Bernardo Silva scored a great shot from the outside of the box in the first minute of the match. The Portuguese midfielder also contributed to City’s second goal after scoring a goal. Algerian winger Riyad Mahrez extended his pass by 5 minutes. The city did not have to wait too long to get the third goal. Kevin de Bruyner shot David de Gaia, but United later digested a suicide goal by Andrea Pereira.
The city has played a little slower since the end of the first half, but the result of the match itself. Otherwise, if they kept playing for the whole ninety minutes, the United States might have had a bigger gap in their foreheads. United’s goal has come as the city’s slowest playing fee.
City players could not keep possession of the ball. And that’s where Marcus Rashford reduced the chance. Pep Guardiola showed last night how much the difference between the two teams is now, in terms of quality. This month, the two teams will face the second leg of the semifinal at City Ground Etihad.
