Manchester City U18 cruised to a 3-0 victory over Liverpool U18 at Joie Stadium. It was a dominant display from the home side, who controlled the match throughout.
The game was a one-sided affair, with Manchester City creating numerous scoring opportunities. They finished with a significant edge in shots, dictating play with a large portion of possession. Liverpool, despite some early promising moments, struggled to break down the City defense.
A string of impressive substitutions from both teams in the second half kept the game engaging. Manchester City's substitutions proved decisive, leading to crucial goals in the closing stages. Key moments included goals from A. Harrison and D. Mukasa. Some late substitutions from Liverpool also injected new energy but couldn't turn the tide.
The Manchester City U18 team seemed to approach the match with a strategy focused on maintaining possession and looking for quick counter-attacks. Liverpool, on the other hand, perhaps tried to put pressure on City early, but ultimately couldn't find a consistent pattern of attacks to overcome the home side's determined defense.
