Manchester City U18 triumphed over Liverpool U18 with a 2-1 victory. A nail-biting match unfolded at Liverpool's Academy Ground, showcasing some excellent attacking football from both teams.
The first half saw Manchester City take the lead, with two well-placed goals by L. Fletcher . It was a controlled display for City, dominating possession and creating several chances. In contrast, Liverpool, although they held their own, struggled to break through the City defence.
The second half was a different story. Liverpool fought back strongly, scoring a goal by Kareem Ahmed in the 75th minute. However, Manchester City's resilience and clever substitutions proved decisive. A late substitution by Liverpool, with H. Evers coming on, certainly had a spark, but wasn't enough.
The most exciting moment was undoubtedly Kareem Ahmed's goal which ignited a flurry of activity. It felt like a real turning point in the game.
Both teams approached the match with enthusiasm and determination. Liverpool's willingness to fight back from a deficit was impressive, and Manchester City's controlled approach certainly paid off. It was a hard fought game, with substitutions playing a role in the outcome.
