52 mins: Napolie\u2019s replacement captain, Matteo Politano, earns a booking for pulling back Doku.<\/p>\n
Share<\/a><\/p>\n 50 mins: And another chance! Again the ball is worked down the left and infield from there, Doku passing this time to Foden, who from a very similar spot to Reijnders a minute earlier does opt to shoot, but misses the far post.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 49 mins: They have now, if only with a few panicked clearances. Reijnders has half a chance from the left corner of the six-yard box but he tries to pass to Haaland, and hits a defender.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 48 mins: Since Anguissa laid the ball back to Milinkovi\u0107-Savi\u0107 from kick-off I\u2019m not sure Napoli<\/a> have touched it.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 46 mins: Peeeeeep! The away team start the second half.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n The players are back out, with no further halftimely substitutions.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Manchester City had 16 shots on goal in the first half. Napoli had one.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Elsewhere in the Champions League<\/a> tonight:<\/p>\n Club Brugge 4-1 Monaco (FT) Share<\/a><\/p>\n \u201c42 minutes played, and not one mention of H\u00f8jlund!\u201d writes Danicus. \u201cHas he been that anonymous?\u201d He\u2019s very much been present, but this is not turning out to be a particularly rewarding night to be a Napoli<\/a> centre-forward.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>Half time score: Manchester City 0-0 Napoli (goals); Manchester City 11-10 Napoli (players)<\/p>\n 45+5 mins: Peeeeeep! Half of the time has been played, and none of the goals have been scored.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 45+2 mins: Politano is punching the air in celebration, it\u2019s almost as if he scored a goal! In fact he\u2019s celebrating because he didn\u2019t \u2013 Bernardo Silva slides an excellent pass from the right into the feet of Reijnders in the middle, and his low shot could well have been going in before Politano stuck a foot out, and was definitely going in afterwards, but Milinkovi\u0107-Savi\u0107 reacts smartly to keep it out!<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 45+1 mins: There\u2019ll be four minutes of stoppage time, or something like it.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 45 mins: City haven\u2019t created any clear chances from open play, but they\u2019re creating a lot of slightly murky ones. Silva crosses again, and Reijnders\u2019 attempted back-flick-header clears the bar.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 42 mins: Another corner, another header, and another excellent save! This time it\u2019s Gvardiol who\u2019s denied.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 40 mins: A desperate clearance stops Reijnders breaking through, at the expense of another corner. From which (eventually) O\u2019Reilly heads a Bernardo Silva cross at goal, and Milinkovi\u0107-Savi\u0107 saves.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 38 mins: Save! Bernardo Silva\u2019s cross is headed clear, but Rodri volleys it right back towards goal from the edge of the area. Milinkovi\u0107-Savi\u0107 pushes it away and out towards Doku, who\u2019s offside.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 36 mins: Ruben Dias crosses towards Haaland, who throws himself at it but can\u2019t conjure a volley. Napoli<\/a>, by sitting deep and in numbers, have set City a puzzle here, but it\u2019s one they\u2019ve solved many times before.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 33 mins: Napoli<\/a> boot the ball down the right and Politano takes it down brilliantly and manages to convert it into a corner, the ball bouncing behind off O\u2019Reilly \u2013 and one of Politano\u2019s boots landing on his thigh also, studs down but with no suggestion of malice.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 33 mins: Napoli\u2019s fans are impressively loud and also bouncy, given the circumstances.<\/p>\n Napoli fans give it some. Photograph: Adam Vaughan\/EPAShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a021.41 CEST<\/p>\n 31 mins: Foden slightly scuffs a left-foot shot from 20 yards, and Milinkovi\u0107-Savi\u0107 snaffles it gratefully.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 29 mins: There was a good, long and loud chorus of Oh, Kevin de Bruyne as the Belgian left the pitch, but this is not the night he would have been dreaming of. Napoli<\/a> settle back for a long night of defending.<\/p>\n Kevin De Bruyne doesn\u2019t look best pleased with Antonio Conte\u2019s decision. Photograph: Allstar Picture Library Ltd\/Nigel French\/Allstar Picture Library Ltd\/SportsphotoShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a021.53 CEST<\/p>\n 26 mins: Napoli<\/a> decide to bring on a defender, and Mathias Olivera is their man. And it\u2019ll be no happy returns for Kevin de Bruyne, who is the one to make way.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 25 mins: Nothing comes of that corner, but a couple of minutes later Reijnders sends in a hard, dipping cross from the left from which Haaland heads over.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 23 mins: From the eventual free-kick Reijnders hits Lobotka with a shot, which deflects out for a corner.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>RED CARD! Napoli lose their captain!<\/p>\n 21 mins: A quick check by Felix Zwayer, and out comes the crimson card!<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 20 mins: The referee is called over to the replay screens. If Di Lorenzo didn\u2019t get the ball it\u2019s a foul, it\u2019s obvious denial of a goalscoring opportunity, and it\u2019s curtains for Napoli\u2019s captain.<\/p>\n Referee Felix Zwayer looks at the VAR monitor. Photograph: Peter Powell\/ReutersShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a021.25 CEST<\/p>\n 19 mins: Red card shout! Haaland is played through by Foden, Di Lorenzo misjudges it, rejudges it and slides in for it, and the referee thinks he gets the ball! But he doesn\u2019t, and this might be bad news for Napoli!<\/p>\n Napoli captain Giovanni Di Lorenzo fells Manchester City\u2019s Erling Haaland. Photograph: Ryan Pierse\/Getty ImagesHere\u2019s a view of the tackle from the other end of the pitch. Photograph: Dave Thompson\/APShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a021.30 CEST<\/p>\n 17 mins: Save! The corner is curled in, Beukema wins the header at the far post, but Donnarumma gets his body behind it and keeps it out.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 16 mins: Down the other end, where Politano tries to get down the right wing and hits O\u2019Reilly with his cross. Another corner.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 15 mins: Doku runs down the left, but Napoli<\/a> have 10 players in the penalty area (if you count the keeper) and he can\u2019t beat the first of them. Still, a corner.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 12 mins: Fine work from Spinazzola on Napoli\u2019s left, but good work also from Khusanov, who is turned a couple of times but never lets his opponent get away, and no shot results.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 10 mins: Chance! Foden sends the corner just beyond the far post, where Doku is entirely unmarked. He doesn\u2019t fancy a header, though, so he chests it down and gives it away.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 9 mins: Another shot! This time it\u2019s Reijnders with it, from out on the left-hand corner of the penalty area. It\u2019s too close to the keeper, but it\u2019s also vicious, and it\u2019s all he can do to turn it over the bar.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 6 mins: City break, Doku runs down the middle, Politano eventually dispossesses him on the edge of the area but in doing so accidentally passes to Foden, who\u2019s just mulling over which corner he should aim his shot at when the referee blows his whistle for a foul on Politano.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 4 mins: A shot! The bad news is that Ruben Dias took it, and he was at least 30 yards out. It is fair to say that Vanja Milinkovi\u0107-Savi\u0107 was untroubled.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 3 mins: Napoli<\/a> have, in a very vague and harmless way, dominated the first couple of minutes.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 1 min: Peeeeeeep! City get the game started!<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n The coin is tossed by the referee, introduced on TNT Sports as \u201cGerman Felix Zwayer from Germany\u201d. City\u2019s players huddle. Kick-off next.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Out come the players! Football is imminent. A couple of today\u2019s Champions League<\/a> games have just finished, meanwhile, and they ended:<\/p>\n Club Brugge 4-1 Monaco Share<\/a><\/p>\n Pep Guardiola has a slightly awkward TV interview, most of which he spends telling the interviewer that they\u2019re wrong, or that he\u2019s not thinking about that right now. To start with, he\u2019s asked why he\u2019s picked an unchanged team:<\/p>\n My decision. It\u2019s easy to understand. No [it\u2019s not because we were so amazing on Sunday], in the beginning of the season with a lot of changes in the squad I\u2019m trying to give a bit of consistency in the line-up, that\u2019s all.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n I\u2019d very much like to bring you photographs of a variety of players during the warm-ups, but all the ones we\u2019ve been sent are of the same bloke.<\/p>\n Napoli\u2019s Kevin De Bruyne during the warm up before the match against Manchester City.
