VIDEO: MAHREZ FIRES THE VISITORS IN FRONT
29'
ALMOST TWO!
Rodri darts in at the back post to nod Mahrez's corner across the six-yard box, but Haaland is caught on his heels and can't react in time to gobble up a tap-in.
27'
GOAL! LEIPZIG 0-1 MAN CITY
Gundogan dummies a Grealish pass, allowing Mahrez to swoop in and lash a fine finish beyond the keeper. It all came after Leipzig's Schlager gave it away deep inside their own half.

Man City 84 per cent.
24'
DEJA VU FOR THE CITIZENS
Gundogan and Walker again combine neatly down the right but the latter's rasping cross is again headed clear at the near post.
Haaland has been peripheral so far.
22'
LEIPZIG PENNED BACK
The away side continue to control the proceedings without really getting in-behind the home team's back line.

MAN CITY ATTEMPT
Rodri blazes a first-time 25-yard shot well over after Bernardo Silva had played a pass into his path from the right.
17'
MAN CITY ATTEMPT
Mahrez fires the free kick straight into the wall and the hosts clear their lines.
16'
FREE KICK TO MAN CITY
Grealish dribbles at the heart of the Leipzig defence at pace and is inevitably tumbled 22 yards from goal.
The set piece is in a dangerous central position. Gundogan and Mahrez are hovering over it.
14'
MAN CITY ATTEMPT
Janis Blaswich is well placed to claim a firm Dias header from Mahrez's right-wing corner.
13'
THE ENGLISH CHAMPIONS ARE BOSSING IT
Every Leipzig player is inside his own half right now. City are moving it from back to front and side ways as they dictate the play and look for an opening.

MAN CITY HALF CHANCE
Gundogan hooks a beautiful blind pass to the left flank for Grealish to maraud forward. The England international lays a low ball into Mahrez whose first touch is heavy and means he can't get the shot he was anticipating away.
5'
RB LEIPZIG PRESSURE
The home side threaten down both flanks but on each occasion they don't have the numbers in the penalty area to take advantage.
