RB Leipzig defeated Manchester City 1-1 in the Champions League on Tuesday night. Riyad Mahrez opened the scoring with a spectacular strike from outside the box in the 33rd minute, but Ibrahima Konaté's header was cancelled out by a late goal from 19-year-old Croatian defender Josko Gvardiol in the 83rd minute. Both teams had chances to win the game but had to settle for a draw. The highlight of the match was undoubtedly Gvardiol's equalizer, as he timed his run into the box perfectly and powerfully headed past Ederson to seal a well-deserved point for RB Leipzig.
