Watching Manchester City vs Bolton Wanders.
After seven minutes it is 1-0 for Man C after a little defense mistake, Darius Vassel could get loose tries a shoot, which is saved. Vassel gets the rebound looks around for a good passing opportunity and finds the bulgarian Petrov who scarves the pass to Bianchi who gets his left leg on the ball and in the net.
Martin Petrov’s ”Sensitive Left Foot” has been real bad at the free kicks the last couple of games, really annoys me how he can make such a shitty freekicks sometimes. I really miss the injured Elano’s ”Golden Foot” he really can shoot a free kick.
Now soon 30 minutes in the game and still 1-0 to Manchester who have had most of the game, but Bolton is piling up the most dangerous chances.
And now it came just after 30 minutes Bolton and Diouf has got their equalizer it now stands 1-1 after a shoot high up in the right behind Isaksson after a beautiful row of passes.
40′ minutes, the game has been wobbling but Bolton is the team who has played with the highest self-condfidence and has just turned the game over 1-2 to Bolton by Nolan and Bolton is pressuring Man C real hard now before the intermission.
After just two minutes in the second half Dieter Hamann shoots the ball in the net after a time’s pressure in Boltons goalfield and it is now leveled 2-2.
One interesting thing is that 3 out of 4 goals today have been in the same corner, the right corner.
72′ minutes in to the game; the last 20 minutes has been slow but now the game starts to heat up again both teams produces some good chances.
76′ minutes, Man C has taken the lead back again with a beautiful, beauiful goal by Darius Vassel. Which started with the always involved Martin Petrov who rans by his defender and passes a blind ball in against the goal where Vassel back flips it in to the goal with his heal.
89 minute, after a slow last minute Manchester gets a 2 against 1 opportunity and Mpenza misses after being completly clear with Boltons goalkeeper.
In the three minutes overtime, Manchester gets a great chance in the 92th minute but Darius Vassel can’t get it in to net.
In the last minute Bolton get a small time of pressure, which Man C uses after a little while by taking the chance quickly up and javier garrido can pass to a free Calvin Etuhu who shoots in to the net and 4-2 is a fact and the game is now over. It was also the 19 year old Etuhu’s first Premier Leauge goal.
After thoughts: It became an easy win for Manchester City, but it wasn’t looking that easy before the second half when Bolton had 1-2 and good pressure on the Man C. But after the 2-2 goal just after the second half Bolton never came up to the same pressure..
