Referee Alejandro Hernandez Hernandez blows his whistle, and Galatasaray get tonight's league phase match underway.

Erling Haaland scores to put Manchester City ahead!! The Norwegian came close with a headed effort early on, but finds the back of the net this time with a brilliant finish from the edge of the box. Doku's pace on the break was vital for the move, and the crowd looks happy.

Manchester City have doubled the lead right before the half-hour mark. Just as Galatasaray looked to build up momentum, City attack down the left flank. Ait-Nouri finds the run of Doku, who cuts it back for Cherki to slot it into the bottom corner.

The second half is underway at the Etihad Stadium, and it's Manchester City who get us underway. No changes at half time from either side.

With Galatasaray pushing hard for a goal, the match has turned end-to-end at Etihad Stadium. Both sides are making changes. Pep Guardiola brings on Reijnders to replace Marmoush.

Galatasaray are making a triple substitution. Torreira, Elmali, and Akgun come on for the Turkish side. Making way are Gundogan, Bardakci, and Yilmaz.
