The opening quarter started on a positive note for the hosts, as they put in three shots on target. However, it was United goalkeeper David de Gea, who saved Sergio Aguero's promising shots in the seventh and 17th minute. David kept United alive as he stood like a wall.

The second quarter saw United snatching more possession, as they pressed more, leading to more attacks. However, it was in the 35th minute when a free-kick curler from Fred led City defenders to attempt clearing it. Nonetheless, failure to do so allowed the clearance to fall at the feet of Nemanja Matić, who fiercely struck it past Claudio Bravo.

3rd quarter
United continue with same intensity, City struggle to create chances

Post the break, there was no change in approach from United, as they continued to dominate with possession, while City seemed to be struggling to create chances. It was only in the 58th minute when the hosts came up with a promising chance, as Sterling raced towards de Gea, only to scoop it over him. Two minutes later, Sterling handed one to de Gea.

4th quarter
Matić's red card spoils the fun for United

Just when all seemed to be going good for United, in the 76th-minute goal-scorer Matić received his second yellow card of the match, leading to him being dismissed. However, United defenders still continued to do their job in the same manner. The final promising chance for the visitors came in the 88th minute through a free-kick, but to no avail.
