The second half started with Borussia Dortmund looking much more composed in their attacks. A lovely combination from Modest and Bellingham split City’s defense only for Marco Reus to shoot the ball wide and miss a wonderful opportunity to stun the Etihad crowd.
The goal for the visitors came in the 56th minute of the game. Dortmund won a corner which was cleared by City defenders, only for the ball to fall into the path of skipper Marco Reus. He shoots a fiery shot at the box, but the English youngster Jude Bellingham deflects the ball into the back of the net with a stunning header.
Guardiola had been preparing a triple change when the goal was scored and he soon introduced Bernardo Silva, Phil Foden and Julian Alvarez. The trio provided the desired impact — adding the missing pace and inventiveness to City’s forward play but when they drew level in the 80th minute it was thanks to a defender.

Kevin De Bruyne played the ball inside to John Stones who blasted a fierce drive past Alexander Meyer from outside the box. The momentum was with City and all Dortmund’s efforts to neutralise Haaland counted for nothing when Cancelo produced his magical cross and the Norwegian his full stretch finish.
The ball was almost beyond Haaland as he leapt off the ground to reach a cross that most players would have tried to hit with their right foot. But the towering blond forward is not like most players and he hooked the ball with the outside of his left foot into the Dortmund goal, prompting an astonished roar from the home crowd.
There was something inevitable about the 22-year-old, who scored 86 goals in 89 appearances for Dortmund, deciding the outcome but it was a surprise how much City had struggled for almost an hour.
