Late VAR Penalty Earns Monaco 2-2 Draw With Man City as Haaland Scores Twice

Haaland later condemned City's second-half display as not good enough.

Overview

  • Referee Jesús Gil Manzano awarded a 90th-minute penalty after reviewing Nico Gonzalez’s high contact on Eric Dier in the box, and Dier converted to level the match.
  • Erling Haaland put City ahead twice with goals in the 15th and 44th minutes, reaching 52 Champions League goals in 50 appearances.
  • Jordan Teze equalised for Monaco in the 18th minute with a long-range strike shortly after City’s opener.
  • The draw gave Monaco their first point of the season, while City dropped ground in the group after failing to see out the win.
  • Haaland told TNT Sports and the BBC that City lacked energy in the second half and did not deserve victory, contrasting with Pep Guardiola’s view that his side played well.
