It sounds like Manchester City had a strong first half in their friendly match against Chelsea, leading 2-0 at halftime. If there are concerns that the penalty awarded to City should not have been given, it could be due to a contentious decision or a possible error in the refereeing. Penalty decisions can often be subjective, and such discussions are common in football.
Pep Guardiola’s men were the better team in the first 45 minutes despite starting the game with several feeble players. They created several chances and prevented Chelsea from creating several chances. Erling Braut Haaland won a penalty and he converted to give Manchester City the lead. A mistake from Caicedo led to Haaland’s second goal and the striker almost got a hat trick before the break. Christopher Nkunku also missed a glorious chance in the first half and Chelsea has a lot of work to do in the second half.
However, Manchester City should not have been awarded a penalty in the first half because Levi Colwill’s foul on Haaland was not serious and the incident should have been overlooked.
