Leipzig vs Man City: Josko Gvardiol's late goal cancels out early City goal in a 1-1 stalemate

RB Leipzig vs Man City: A Josko Gvardiol goal ensured that Manchester City left Germany with a slight advantage but with their last 16 tie.

The Cityzens began the game with a slightly tweaked system from recent weeks, which saw Kyle Walker play a more conventional right-back role, and the visitors dominated possession.

Despite Leipzig's hard work, they were sloppy on the ball, and it was this sloppiness that handed Manchester City the lead with Riyad Mahrez emphatically punishing Xaver Schlager's loose pass to fire past Blaswich.

City's domination continued until the halftime break, but RB Leipzig roared out a much different side in the second half, with substitute Benjamin Heinrich's firing wide as the German side finally began to ask questions of the Manchester City defence.

And those question bore fruit with 20 minutes to play, when a cross was firmly met by Josko Gvardiol to level the scoreline, and leave Manchester City ruing their inability to capitalise in the first half.
