Half-time, the atmosphere in the visiting team's dressing room was heavy.
The Manchester City players huddled in a tight circle, their faces filled with anxiety, as if shrouded by a cloud.
At the start of the first half, everything seemed promising.
With Manchester City's 3-5-2 formation, they dominated the field like masters, firmly controlling the situation.
Tang Long delivered a brilliant assist to Mkhitaryan, who scored effortlessly!
However, the good times were short-lived, as two experienced defensive players from the opponent locked onto Tang Long like two unshakeable pieces of gum.
From that point on, Manchester City's fierce offensive gradually slowed down.
Despite their powerful midfield possession and intricate passing system, which allowed them to control the pace of the game, the opponent's star player Griezmann scored a crucial equalizing goal with his superb shooting skills just before the end of the first half.
