Overview
- Erling Haaland scored twice before half-time to twice put Manchester City ahead, including a towering header from Nico O’Reilly’s cross.
- Jordan Teze first cancelled out Haaland’s opener with a curling strike, and Eric Dier converted a 90th-minute spot-kick to secure the draw.
- Replays showed Nico Gonzalez raised a boot and touched the ball before catching Dier in the face as they challenged for a late free-kick.
- The referee reviewed the incident on the monitor, tempers flared near the benches, and at least one Monaco staff member was shown a red card.
- Pep Guardiola offered terse post-match remarks about the officials and called the free-kick leading to the incident unfair as City rued missed chances and hitting the woodwork, with Rodri exiting early after a knock.
