Manchester City hosted Copenhagen in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League round of 16.

The Citizens secured a comfortable victory in the first leg in Denmark (3:1), which allowed them to approach today's match with great confidence.

City wasted no time and immediately took control of the game, nullifying any potential suspense from the outset. Akankji, assisted by Alvarez, opened the scoring for the Sky Blues just five minutes into the game. Four minutes later, Alvarez himself found the net, adding to the woes of the visitors' goalkeeper.

Remarkably, Manchester City repeat a Champions League record for the fastest two goals scored in a match.

Despite conceding a goal to Elyounoussi, City responded swiftly before halftime, with Haaland finding the target with a precise strike, assisted by Rodri.

The second half turned into a mere formality, devoid of any further goals. Consequently, City replicated their first-leg result and advanced to the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
