Their efforts paid off in the <strong>22nd minute<\/strong>, when <strong>Phil Foden<\/strong> slotted home the opener after a clever assist from <strong>Tijjani Reijnders<\/strong>. The goal set the tone for what became a one-sided first half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just seven minutes later, the Etihad erupted again. <strong>Erling Haaland<\/strong> doubled City\u2019s lead in the <strong>29th minute<\/strong>, continuing his scintillating form and asserting City\u2019s dominance before halftime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Foden Strikes Again as Reijnders Shines<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>City continued their momentum into the second half.

The Dutch midfielder delivered a standout performance, controlling the tempo and assisting twice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dortmund struggled to get a foothold in the match, though <strong>Guirassy<\/strong> and <strong>Adeyemi<\/strong> came close. Both were denied by <strong>Gianluigi Donnarumma<\/strong>, whose sharp goalkeeping preserved City\u2019s comfortable lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Dortmund Find a Lifeline\u2026 Briefly<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dortmund pulled one back in the <strong>72nd minute<\/strong>, with <strong>Waldemar Anton<\/strong> converting from a rare moment of sustained pressure. But any hopes of a comeback were quickly extinguished as City regained control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Impact Substitutions and Cherki\u2019s Clinical Finish<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Guardiola introduced <strong>Rayan Cherki, Omar Marmoush, and Bernardo Silva<\/strong> late in the match to maintain intensity and creativity.
