United might be relieved to see the back of Dybala, who's withdrawn for Federico Bernardeschi with just over ten minutes remaining. Max Allegri might be feeling a bit tense as the game reaches its conclusion. His side, unlike in the first half, have not always been convincing.
Ronaldo is lurking in the box, waiting for a moment to strike. He nearly gets it as Bentancur lifts a ball into the box. De Gea is out quickly to claim the ball.
United have been better in the second half, without doubt, but frustration is beginning to grow at Old Trafford. Juventus are stingy defensively and United's lack of creativity in the final third is in evidence.
He's only been on the pitch for a couple of minutes, but Bernardo Silva adds to City's tally with a low drive into the bottom corner from 20 yards out. What an introduction! 3-0.
Another goal for City would finish this contest, but it's evading them. Still, Guardiola clearly feels confident enough to take off De Bruyne. He makes way for Bernardo Silva.
In the group's other game, Hoffenheim and Lyon are level at 2-2.
The visitors push forward for the first time in a few minutes. It's nicely worked on the edge of the box out to Cancelo, whose cross is blocked by Shaw. United are still in this, but they can't afford any more defensive lapses.
An encouraging spell for United. The fans raise the volume as Mata loops a cross towards the far post. It's headed down but not in the direction of Lukaku, who looks frustrated.
City have not had it all their own way in the second half. Ederson has been forced into a good save by Ismaily and the hosts have won a few set pieces. The next goal, though, seems more likely to go the way of the visitors.
United are quickly on the front foot as Martial sees a curling shot blocked. The ball breaks to Lukaku in the box, but he doesn't seem alert tonight. Juventus clear.
Hoffenheim are level at 1-1 with Lyon in Group F's other game. It's a scoreline that will please City, who will move four points clear in second place if things stay as they are.
