Oh, it's a lovely ball, Grealish is in, Haaland waits in the middle,
and here's Lewis, and it's off the line!
Superb clearance by Benito.
He'd opened the scoring here.
Classic Manchester City, intricate passing,
plenty of bodies in the penalty area, and the business end, Grealish unselfish.
And Lewis there, denied by the quick reactions of Loris Benito.
Referee is ready.
It's going to be Walker to Hammock, and Foden!
And two fine saves from Rochovic.
The first whizzed through the wall and the second was...
And it is going to be relentless.
It's Foden, slightly behind Lewis.
Oh, that's an untidy challenge, and that's a penalty.
Laupra, I think it was.
Mateus Nunes goes down, this time it was the right side of that line
for Manchester City in those kind of areas.
Trailing right foot, clipped the left leg of Mateus Nunes.
And the referee in an excellent position to see it.
And Erling Haaland came out on top.
The man who was a big doubt with ankle injury before the game,
scores the first goal of the game.
He is 14th of the campaign, three against young boys.
But it fell to Mateus Nunes, he's brought down,
and Haaland buries the opportunity.
It was just a matter of time.
Most everybody in the stadium knew that.
A relatively subdued celebration on the sidelines.
More animated at the end of this first half.
Guardiola, Grealish, searching out Foden.
Trying to get beyond the camera, and he has done it, he's scored!
Brilliant stuff from Phil Foden.
Right on the stroke of half-time, just as young boys thought
that they had made it through to the break with just a one-goal deficit.
Foden doubles the lead for the home side.
Well, it looked as though we were just playing down time,
but then Grealish spotted Foden on this near side with a bit of room.
Foden then burst beyond Garcia, got himself in the penalty area,
and steered the ball cleverly into the bottom corner, away from Rashopi.
All left foot, but deadly accurate at the end of it all.
And Manchester City now have daylight between themselves and their opponents.
And the knockout stages of the Champions League edged that a little bit closer,
if they were ever really in any doubts.
Manchester City 2, young boys are burnt nil.
Foden for Lewis, Lewis for Haaland.
Kovacic told to get out of the way, and that's why!
What a hit from Erling Haaland!
Ho-ho-ho!
Tremendous power, applause all around the ground,
and the coach Pep Guardiola joins in.
Dale Kovacic got out of the way.
Nothing really happening here, it's a probing build-up.
Haaland gets a side of goal, Kovacic gets out of the way, and smack.
Could not have hit it any better, could not have got the angle any better either.
A cross goal, right into the far corner.
Ooh, he says, ooh, that's a bit special.
Even given the quality strikes that he's scored already in his time here at Manchester City.
This is his 70th game for Manchester City, and his 67th goal,
and that's a bad challenge.
And it's a red card, it's Lauper again.
It's just a foolish challenge, isn't it?
Out of control, Sturge showing, clatters into Aker, he knows what's coming.
It's inevitable.
