In Belgrade, Crvena Zvezda secures a victory with goals from Micah Hamilton, Oscar Bobb, and Kalvin Phillips, defeating Manchester City with a final score of 3-2.

Oscar Bobb from Manchester City stole the spotlight as he jubilated following his team’s second goal in their UEFA Champions League game against FK Crvena Zvezda. This win ensured that Manchester City achieved an impeccable performance in Group G.

The match witnessed the rise of promising talents Micah Hamilton and Oscar Bobb, who both delivered spectacular goals for Manchester City. In his debut appearance for the senior squad, Hamilton received a pass from Matheus Nunes and adeptly maneuvered past a defender before unleashing a shot over the goalkeeper’s head from a difficult position. Bobb scored his goal shortly after the 60-minute mark after receiving a pass from Rico Lewis on the right side of the field. He cleverly used Lewis’ movement as a distraction and maneuvered past a defender before neatly placing the ball into the far corner of the goal.

Crvena Zvezda successfully added a goal to their tally thanks to a collaboration between Hwang In-beom and Osman Bukari, with Hwang In-beom ultimately finding the back of the net. However, Manchester City secured their victory when Hamilton was fouled in the penalty area, leading to Kalvin Phillips successfully converting the penalty kick. Crvena Zvezda managed to score another goal through Aleksandr Katai during additional time, but Manchester City managed to maintain their lead and secure the victory.

The standout aspect of the game was the impressive display from the young talents of City. There are suggestions that Pep Guardiola should provide more chances to these players who have contributed to the club’s success in winning the previous four Premier League U18 championships. Hamilton and Bobb demonstrated their adaptability by playing in various positions in the forward line. Hamilton switched positions between the first and second halves, while Bobb transitioned from a central role to the right side of the field. Oscar Bobb stood out in the game and was awarded the Player of the Match title for his remarkable performance. Despite both Bobb and Hamilton being equally effective, Bobb’s contribution to the game made him stand out. The 20-year-old displayed exceptional control of the ball, effortlessly surpassing opponents and exhibiting similarities to Leroy Sane, a former player of the City team.

The players’ ratings for the match were as follows: Crvena Zvezda – Glazer 6, Nedeljkovic 6, Djiga 5, Dragovic 6, Mijailovic 5, Spajic 5, Kanga 6, Hwang 7, Bukari 5, Ndiaye 5, Olayinka 6. Manchester City had a solid performance with Ortega, Lewis, Stones, Akanji, Gomez, Phillips, Kovacic, Hamilton, Nunes, Grealish, and Bobb all contributing to the team’s success. The standout moments of the match were Hamilton’s impressive first goal, Bobb’s brilliant finish, and Phillips’ successful penalty kick. Crvena Zvezda’s Mijatovic came close to scoring but hit the post with his attempt. In the end, Aleksandr Katai managed to score a late goal for the hosts, but it did not have a significant impact on the match’s outcome.
