In the 27th round of the English Premier League, Manchester City hosted Newcastle at their home ground and won a dramatic 2-1 victory. The main character of the meeting is O'Reilly. He scored twice in a short time, leading the Citizens to victory.
The debate started at a very fast pace. O'Reilly opened the scoring in the 14th minute. However, the visitors responded quickly: in the 22nd minute, Hall revived Newcastle's hopes with a precise shot. At that moment, the game switched to a "now heated up" mode - both the struggle on the field and quick attacks increased.
But in the 27th minute, O'Reilly reappeared: the second goal - the second shot - and City's lead on the scoreboard. In the remaining minutes, Newcastle increased pressure to equalize, but Guardiola's team tried to keep the game under control and, when necessary, slowed down the tempo, "cooling down" the opponent.
At the end of the break, Dias was replaced by our compatriot Abdukodir Khusanov - this was a particularly interesting moment for Uzbek fans.
