The Newcastle United vs Manchester City duel was held at St James Park, Sunday (14/1/2024) early morning WIB. Man City succeeded in achieving a dramatic victory with a score of 3-2. Man City’s goals were scored by Bernardo Silva (26′), Kevin De Bruyne (74′), and Oscar Bobb (90+1′).
At the start of the first half, disaster struck Man City because their mainstay goalkeeper, Ederson Moraes, suffered an injury. Having forced himself to play after receiving treatment, Ederson, who appeared to be limping, almost had Man City’s goal breached by the hosts.
Luckily, the alertness of the Man City players succeeded in shutting down Newcastle’s attack. After that, Ederson, who was groaning in pain on the pitch, was immediately taken off the pitch, replaced by Stefan Ortega.
In the 13th minute, Man City almost took the lead. Unfortunately, Phil Foden’s kick in front of the Newcastle goal was still blocked by Bruno Guimares.
The goal that Man City had been waiting for finally came in the 26th minute. Bernardo Silva broke into Newcastle’s goal after using a pass from Kyle Walker from the left side of the goal. Man City leads 1-0!
After that, Newcastle appeared crazy. They managed to equalize through Alexander Isak’s brilliant kick in the 35th minute.
Two minutes later, Newcastle broke through Man City’s goal again. This time, it was Anthony Gordon’s turn to get his name on the scoreboard after taking advantage of Burn’s opportunity. Newcastle went back to winning 2-1. This score lasted until the end of the first half.
In the second half, Man City appeared more determined as they tried to score additional goals. However, opportunity after opportunity failed to bear fruit at the start of the match.
Guardiola finally brought on his mainstay player who had just recovered from injury, namely Kevin De Bruyne in the 69th minute to replace Bernardo Silva.
De Bruyne’s presence immediately revived Man City’s game. Sure enough, he was immediately able to bring Man City to equalize with a great goal in the 76th minute.
After that, Guardiola again made the right decision. He brought on Oscar Bobb to replace Jeremy Doku in the 82nd minute. Not long after coming on, Bobb immediately scored a goal in the 90+2 minute which ensured Man City won 3-2.
