Noa-Gabriel Šimić has a lot of space on the right and uses it to pull in and search for a shot from 22 meters out. However, this device is a bit too central. Van Sas can easily catch the leather.
47
17:06
The second section is on! BVB coach Mike Tullberg brings in Lion Semić for Samuel Bamba, who played well but was quite inefficient in front of goal and in decision-making.

Mid-term conclusion:
At half-time, the Manchester City U19s and Borussia Dortmund were 1-0. The Skyblues took control of the game from the start and put BVB under pressure with consistent pressing. However, BVB managed to free themselves better after ten to 15 minutes and created a few good chances. The best chances were missed by Paris Brunner and Samuel Bamba, who each aimed too high from close range. But the Skyblues, who sometimes acted too complicated, also had some chances. After Nico O’Reilly initially failed from a good position, he made it 1-0 for Manchester City in the 33rd minute after a template by Carlos Borges. The English tried to follow up directly and tied the black and yellow into the defensive in the final phase of the first half. Overall, the 1-0 interim is okay.

Official stoppage time (minutes): 1
45
16:48
Brunner and Bamba once again play well through the right side. The second receives the ball near the baseline and tries to pull towards the goal. However, he is pushed aside by Kane Tylor, causing the ball to go wide.
43
16:44
Yellow card for Finley Burns (Manchester City)
Burns comes a little too late in the running duel with Vasco Walz. Although the city defender touches the ball slightly, he also accepts a violent collision with the Dortmund player. The yellow card is justifiable.
41
16:44
Annoying scene for BVB! Brunner fixes a ball twelve meters in front of the goal and then puts it down for Samuel Bamba, who came along on the right. However, he has problems taking the ball with him and lets the leather run over the baseline.
38
16:41
Manchester City would like to step up their game and are increasingly constricting Dortmund on the defensive. Although the BVB defense manages to block the shots by the English, the pressure increases noticeably.
35
16:38
Yellow card for Filippo Mane (Borussia Dortmund)
Unauthorized yellow card for Mane, who only hits the ball with a sliding tackle. The referee was probably influenced by the City player’s theatrical outcry.
33
16:36
Tooor for Manchester City, 1-0 through Nico O’Reilly
Manchester City take a 1-0 lead. After a long diagonal ball from the city defense, Carlos Borges uses a major positional error by Lion Semić and moves to the baseline in the left half of the box. From there he served the completely free-standing Nico O’Reilly, who placed the ball from six yards, a central position, ice cold in the right corner.
32
16:35
Interesting attempt by Adedire Awokoya-Mebude. The right winger is actually in a classic cross position near the right edge of the sixteen, but he pulls the ball directly onto the goal with his right foot. The leather just flies over the crossbar.
31
16:34
Samuel Bamba takes Lakyle Samuel apart in the running duel down the left flank and tries to finish from a tight angle, but it is blocked. The corner that follows poses a risk because van Sas can only fist away a cross ball that is just in front of the goal. This results in an arc lamp that ultimately comes out just short of the left post on the turf.
30
16:32
The first half hour is played and you have to give BVB a good interim report. The Dortmunders are compact at the back except for a few scenes and switch consistently when they win the ball. Accordingly, the German representative even has the slightly better chances. Only the precision in the finish still needs to be significantly improved.
28
16:29
BVB is becoming dangerous again! Paris Brunner initially combines strongly with a roll down the right flank, but fails in the end from a half-right position on a block from a city defender. The 16-year-old Borussia gets the ball again and this time he can try from a central position. But his conclusion from eight meters goes over the gate. Slowly you have to think about the exploitation of chances.
25
16:26
There was more in it! During a switchover, midfielder Vasco Walz leads the ball and runs with four teammates towards four City defenders. The 17-year-old can’t really decide on an option and then plays a vertical through ball into nothing.
23
16:25
Opportunities in minutes! This time it’s City’s turn after Cherles fielded fellow player Nico O’Reilly with a superb through ball. The 17-year-old Englishman runs freely towards the goal, but makes a too complicated hook backwards and then fails with his low shot by Marian Kirsch’s foot defense.
21
16:22
Double chance for BVB! First, Julian Rijkhoff is cleared 18 meters in front of the goal, but his shot is blocked by Finley Burns. However, the ball bounces to Prince Aning, who shoots from eleven yards, half-left position, and forces van Sas into a brilliant save with his tight shot into the near corner.
18
16:20
Oscar Bobb is released in the penalty area and is about to make it 1-0 from seven yards out. However, Nnamdi Collins is able to intervene just in time and block the leather. Lucky for BVB: Bobb should have used Dickson, who was completely free in a central position seven meters in front of the goal.
16
16:18
Yellow card for Nnamdi Collins (Borussia Dortmund)
Collins gets a yellow card for an overly hard boarding on the right touchline.
15
16:18
Mega opportunity for BVB! Mane plays a long through ball to Samuel Bamba, who capitalizes on a positional error by Kane Tylor and runs clear for City goalkeeper Mikki van Sas. But the BVB youngster’s nerves are clearly fluttering. The ball flies five meters over the bar and lands in the stands.
14
16:16
Manchester City uses a fairly radical pressing and sometimes even attacks at the level of the BVB penalty area. The Dortmunders are not very often able to free themselves cleanly from the embrace. Borussia defend themselves with all eleven men in their own half. So far, however, the appearance of the Skyblues has seemed a bit too playful, which is why there are not yet any great opportunities.
11.
16:13
Lakyle Samuel plays through sensationally with a one-two with Will Dickson and refuels on the right towards the goal. However, Marian Kirsch is attentive and is able to bury Dickson’s pass, which went too far, just in time. On the other hand, Paris Brunner comes to an end for the first time, but his attempt from 17 meters is deflected.
8th.
16:10
Gürpüz gets involved in a risky dribbling 30 meters from his own goal and is a little lucky that Oscar Bobb’s use is counted as a foul. Free kick for BVB.
7.
16:08
As expected, the Skyblues dominated the action at the beginning and kept the ball technically clean in their own ranks. BVB is rather low, but tries to become active when winning the ball and quickly switch to the offensive direction.
5.
16:07
Almost the first chance for Manchester City! After a bad pass in BVB’s build-up, the ball almost bounced to Will Dickson, who would have been ready to score ten meters from the goal if Filippo Mane hadn’t gotten in the way in time. The BVB defender got a kick from the somewhat over-motivated City attacker, but was able to get up again after a few seconds.
2.
16:05
After a long ball, Samuel Bamba holds his own against Kane Taylor in a running duel, but then loses the ball. However, the referee had already stopped the situation because the young man from Dortmund got the ball on his arm.
1.
16:03
Here we go! The Skyblues toast and go into the game dressed in light blue. Borussia Dortmund traditionally wears yellow and black.
15:59
The ball is rolling again in England after football came to a standstill over the weekend following the death of the Queen. The 22 players have already entered the pitch and are ready for kick-off. First, however, there will be a minute’s silence in honor of the late Queen.
15:43
BVB coach Mike Tullberg made two changes to his team compared to the defeat against Copenhagen. After his red card from the Copenhagen game, goalkeeper Silas Ostrzinski is consequently absent. Marian Kirsch will stand between the posts for him. In addition, Borussia are missing an extremely gifted midfielder in Abdoulaye Kamara. The 17-year-old will be replaced by Paris Brunner, who is a year younger. Tactically everything stays with the 4-4-2 system.
15:36
Manchester City will play in a 4-3-3 formation today, starting with exactly the 11 players who started against Sevilla FC. The black and yellow should pay special attention to winger Carlos Borges, who scored three goals and one assist in Seville. The small, nimble and technically strong Portuguese is probably the greatest talent in the team. But his neighbor Adedire Awokoya-Mebude also showed what he can do with two points. There is a lot of work to do today in defense of the black and yellow.
15:28
The Dortmund U19s botched the start against FC Copenhagen and lost the game with a man down 0:2. Accordingly, the BVB youngsters are now under a little pressure. Otherwise, things are going very well for the offspring of the black and yellow. The reigning A-Junior champions are also in second place in the current season after three wins and one draw. Now, of course, Mike Tullberg’s team would like to attack in the Youth League and remain in the race for the knockout phase. Last year Dortmund reached the quarter-finals for the first time.
15:22
Manchester City’s A-Juniors have made an excellent start to this year’s UEFA Youth League, beating Sevilla FC 5-1 away. The young Skyblues seem to be on the right track after missing out on the knockout phase three times in a row.
15:14
Hello and welcome to the second group matchday in the UEFA Youth League. Before the big CL match between Manchester City and Borussia Dortmund takes place tonight (9 p.m.), the U19 teams from the aforementioned clubs will meet. The kick-off will be at 4 p.m.
