  • 94'
    FT: Sheff W 0-1 Man C! All over at Hillsborough! Man C dominated proceedings and would have won by more goals had it not been for a sensational Wildsmith in the Wednesday goal. However, Aguero's goal was slightly offside and that will no doubt be mentioned post match. Thanks for joining us and we hope to see you again soon!
  • 93'
    Almost for Sheff W!!! An opening is found, but Da Cruz can't run onto the pass and it goes out for a goal kick.
  • 93'
    Shots: 1-20, on target: 0-9.
  • 93'
    City clear the free-kick, 30 seconds left.

  • 92'
    What a save again by Wildsmith to deny Jesus when it looked a nailed on goal!
  • 91'
    Three extra minutes.
  • 90'
    City attack and B Silva's ball in is deflected to the GK. Wildsmith tries to throw it out quickly to Fox who isn't expecting it and City win the throw.

  • 81'
    Chance for Sheff W!!! Bannan's ball passes Stones, Lees doesn't expect the ball to come to him and he cannot connect.
  • 80'
    Chance for Fletcher!!! The ball in by Hunt almost finds Fletcher at the back stick! He is millimetres away from reaching it.
  • 79'
    The BBC virtual line suggests that Aguero is either in line or fractions offside, but I think Aguero is just offside.
  • 78'
    Aguero is called offside this time.
  • 77'
    Mendy goes down this near side and his ball in is cleared away by Iorfa.
  • 75'

    Sheff W sub: Lee is replaced by Hunt.
  • 62'
    Lee is getting treatment on his leg here.

    Mahrez!!!! Great combination play from the visitors and it ends with the Algerian shooting wide instead of passing for Jesus in the middle.
  • 59'
    Man C are in control here now.
  • 56'
    No VAR here as it's a Championship ground, but there is at the PL grounds. And if Sheff W win here and are home in the QF, there will be VAR. You won't have heard the last of this if City win here.

Goal
Goaaaaaal!
de Manchester City en el 53'
  • 53'
    Aguero scores for City!!! Their pressure has paid off. Mendy passes to Aguero, who is offside, and his shot is tipped by Wildsmith into the air, but it spins into the net. Very unlucky.
  • 51'
    And again!!! Wildsmith makes a fine stop to his left to deny B Silva. City are really pressing now.
  • 50'
    Mendy strikes the bar this time!!! Aguero finds D Silva who finds Mendy and his powerful shot is brilliantly touched onto the bar by Wildsmith!

  • 45'
    HT: Sheff Wed 0-0 Man C! Half-time at Hillsborough! The away side are dominating proceedings and could have scored through Jesus twice. The clearest chance fell to Otamendi who was denied by the crossbar and then Stones headed over right on half-time. Wednesday have done little in attack, but are holding on well after a shaky start. Back for more in a bit!
  • 45'
    One added minute.
  • 45'
    Stones!!!!!! Mahrez's free-kick finds Stones at the back post and his header into the ground goes over the goal.
  • 45'
    Good quick passing by Man C comes to nothing though.
  • 43'
    City are awarded a free-kick in the centre-circle much to the disgust of Lee and the home crowd. "Cheat, cheat, cheat," the Hillsborough faithful chant.
  • 40'
    Man City win a free-kick after Jesus is caught by Iorfa. Not sure about that.
  • 38'
    Stones is down injured after taking a blow to the chest. He collides with a Wednesday after kicking the ball.
Card

  • 32'
    Off the bar!!!! Mahrez's free-kick into the box is headed by Otamendi who strikes the crossbar! The Owls then manage to get it away. Garry Monk's men are living dangerously.

  • 28'
    The Owls are looking shaky at the back.

  • 10'
    81% possession for Guardiola's men so far.
  • 9'
    Aguero!!!! City pass the ball around near the Wednesday area and then Mendy's pass for Aguero is so nearly turned in from six yards! He misses his kick.
