On Sunday night the 15th, the English Premier League ushered in a key battle, the leader Manchester City away to Westham, but accidentally conceded two goals first. After Males missed a penalty kick, City finally drew 2:2 after some hard work. Although they failed to lead the table, it still gives Liverpool a glimmer of hope for the four crowns.
City's morale was high after winning all five rounds of league matches, and they fielded a strong attacking lineup of Gabil Jecsis, Kialisu and Males. However, Westham took the lead in the 24th minute with a great pass from Pablo Cornuños, assisted by Charlos Pao-yun, who made a mistake in front of the goal and scored an empty goal. Just before half time, Chaloboyun scored again, and Michalie Antonio made it 2:0 with a great assist.
In the 49th minute, Kialisu's powerful shot struck Kijiji Dyson in the direction of the goal, quickly bringing the score to 1:2. However, just as City were attacking at full throttle, a miscue between Napodi and Aidachen Moraes almost allowed Chaloboyun to extend the lead, and luckily for him, his shot was deflected wide. Shortly after, Ferrandino's pass was not strong enough for Michali Antonio to steal and shoot high into the net. In the 69th minute, Males took a free kick and Wahidi Miguel Farr's header was an own goal, bringing City back to 2:2.
In the 83rd minute, Westham made a mistake at the back and Gabil Jecsis was shoved down. After VAR intervened, City was awarded a penalty kick, but Marius' penalty was parried out by Westham keeper Fabianski, and the two sides ended up with a 2:2 draw. The draw was a loss for both sides and had an impact on Westham's bid for European qualification and City's bid for the league title.
