The match was now in the thirty-ninth minute and so far the scoreline was still leveled.
Manchester City had been pressing Crystal Palace hard all this time but so far they had not been able to get a single.
Crystal Palace had been on the offensive for most of the game and that coupled with City missing a couple of good chances was the reason why the game was still on level terms.
Their possession kept dropping with each passing minute until they had just eighteen percent ball possession but they were still hanging in there, and now people were starting to wonder why City had failed to do anything so far.
With the match hitting the fortieth minute now, City tried to move forward with the ball once again after an attempt from Mustafa, a desperate attempt from thirty yards out went over the bar.
That was their third shot of the game but they still had zero shots on target.
