In the second half, the game slowed down a bit, and Man City didn’t feel too much pressure to score. However, they still managed to add a third goal to their tally.
Erling Haaland continued to shine, scoring his second goal of the match for the home side. The Norwegian striker unleashed a beautiful long-range shot from outside the box to beаt the Young Boys’ goalkeeper.
In the remaining minutes of the match, there were no notable incidents except for a red card shown to a Young Boys player for a foul on Nathan Ake. In the end, Man City secured a comfortable 3-0 victory and became the first team to advance from the group stage in the 2023/24 Champions League.
