Key events
83 min: United will take no more risks with Toone and Awujo comes on in her place. Shaw is also replaced with Clinton coming on against her old team.
81 min: Shaw has gone down holding her head after she was closed down by retreating United defenders. She’s still feeling the effects of the impact.
80 min: Miedema works back and wins the ball off Zigiotti with a sliding tackle. She releases Shaw in behind and the striker delays one too many times and Middleton-Patel gratefully scoops the ball up. World class from Miedema.
77 min: The corner comes out to Beney but the youngster’s first-time half-volley swerves well wide.
76 min: The home crowd are trying to start a Mexican wave, judging by the amount of countdowns I can hear. Beney diverts their attention as she wins a corner off Sandberg.
74 min: Jeglertz turns to his bench. Hemp makes way for Beney and Blindkilde Brown is replaced by Lohmann.
72 min: United hit the post! Park and Malard combine on the edge of the box and Park goes for power at the near post and hits the upright. Malard was clattered after playing the pass by Knaak. No card.
70 min: Shaw goes close! She fronts up Le Tissier and drives into the area, coming inside to unleash a left-footed shot that flies over the bar.
69 min: United work the ball out to Blundell on the right but her cross has no direction or pace on it and Yamashita gathers.
67 min: Hemp spins away from a couple of United players on the edge of the box but her curled effort is high and wide. Malard then leaves Knaak on the deck but her drive towards the area is stopped before she reaches a shooting position.
65 min: It’s a bit ragged, this second half. City are happy to sit back and soak up pressure but United are struggling to bring any sort of quality on the ball.
63 min: Skinner introduces Rolfö and Blundell for Galton and Riviere. Janssen tries to find Malard over the top but the flag goes up.
61 min: Sandberg skews a Hemp corner behind for another. This one goes short but Zigiotti wins it back. United are preparing two changes.
59 min: Toone is moving a lot better after that ankle knock. Hemp plays Shaw in behind but the flag is up.
57 min: Audacious from Hemp! Casparij’s long diagonal is flicked on by Miedema and Hemp tries to lift it first time over Middleton-Patel from range but the ball lands on the roof of the net.
55 min: Rose goes in for another battle with Malard on halfway and comes away the winner. It’s going to be more of a test for the City backline this half though.
53 min: Knaak and Rose double-team on Malard to shepherd the France striker away from goal and the ball goes behind for a goal-kick.
51 min: Toone is back on but not moving well. City waste an attack as a heavy ball out wide evades Hemp and goes out for a goal-kick.
49 min: Toone is helped to her feet and hobbles over to the touchline. She may try to carry on. United carry on with 10 for now.
It’s not looking good for Toone. Awujo is being briefed on the bench.
47 min: Toone is down holding her ankle after a coming-together with Blindkilde Brown. The City midfielder stepped on her foot.
Second half begins
We’re back under way. Malard has replaced Terland for United.
Recommended half-time reading
United haven’t played particularly badly but they are very shaky in their own box without Phallon Tullis-Joyce in goal. City have been ruthless. They’ve had a whole week to prepare for this one, whereas United were in WCL action on Wednesday – and it shows.
Half-time
It’s all going to plan for Manchester City. Rebecca Knaak’s header gave them the lead before Khadija Shaw’s poacher’s finish doubled their advantage. Lauren Hemp’s fine finish in stoppage time has given them a commanding lead but is it an insurmountable one?
45+4 min: United look shaken and are limping towards half-time.
GOAL! Manchester City 3-0 Manchester United (Hemp 45+2)
What a finish! Casparij marauds infield and lays the ball off to Hemp on the edge of the box. She has plenty of time to set herself and arrow a left-footed shot into the near top corner. Middleton-Patel has no hope. Game over?
45+1 min: Hemp’s corner curls towards the back post and Miedema heads it against the upright but the whistle goes for a foul.
45 min: Five minutes of added time. Fujino wins a corner off Sandberg …
GOAL! Manchester City 2-0 Manchester United (Shaw 43)
The stoppage in play did the trick for City! Shaw beats Middleton-Patel to Casparij’s inviting cross and toes the ball into the back of the net. It’s expert centre-forward play, finding space in between the two centre-backs. A wonderful cross too.
42 min: Jeglertz is able to give his team some instructions while play is stopped. Yamashita is, unsurprisingly, absolutely fine to continue.
40 min: Yamashita hits the deck, stretching out her right leg. Convenient for City as United’s momentum is broken …
39 min: Park and Toone are starting to find each other regularly. Hasegawa and Blindkilde Brown are successfully fighting fires in the City midfield for now.
37 min: United try to apply a bit of pressure. Galton and Sandberg are combining well down the left. Toone lofts a ball in the box but Terland is flagged for offside.
35 min: Sandberg finds space inside the City area and pulls a low ball back across the box but nobody in a red shirt is there.
34 min: Toone and Park have not really been able to get into the game. There’s not a lot of space between the City lines with Hasegawa sitting between the back four and the rest of the midfield.
32 min: Half-chance for United. Sandberg’s cross is not dealt with by Rose and Galton swings a leg at it. Rose redeems herself by blocking the shot at close quarters.
