The Argentine striker has established himself as a starter and is experiencing his best moments at City. he was the driving force behind the comeback as after a hopeless first half, Glazer made 12 saves, including Haaland’s header against the crossbar, plus some great saves from Rodri, Alvaras and Ake.
It was incredible that City were still not leading on the scoreboard after 45 minutes, but even more surprising was how the Serbian side caught up with Guardiola’s side in stoppage time. Ta. Bukari faced Ederson and won 1-0. But the linesman ruled it out for offside. However, it didn’t take long for the situation to turn around with the introduction of VAR.

Guardiola and his team went into the breakdown on the scoreboard, with Alvarez directing it.
The Argentine sparked a comeback with a brilliant step in front of Glazer after receiving a pass from Haaland. With just a second of space, he stepped on the ball in front of the goalkeeper and, with almost no angle, pushed the ball into the goal.
It was a goal worthy of an appearance, culminating in a direct free kick a few minutes later that he aimed down the middle, but this one was missed by Glazer. The goalkeeper tried to punch the ball but missed and the ball went silently into the net.
