Manchester City fought back after losing the first point. Silva finished with a shot from Sabiu's cross in the 9th minute of the first half, but the ball headed to the corner of the goal was saved. In the 15th minute of the first half, Sabiu's free kick from the right side of the penalty box arc was blocked by the wall.
Manchester City brought the game to square one with a mid-range shot. In the 33rd minute of the first half, Gvardiol received Doku's pass and a fantastic right-footed mid-range shot from the left side of the penalty box was inserted into the corner of the Wolverhampton goal.

It was Stones who saved Man City. In the 5th minute of the second half extra time, Stones finished with a header from Phil Foden's ball in a corner kick situation. The ball that hit Stones' head was stuck over Sasa's head and split the goal. Following the match against Arsenal in the fifth round, Stones gave the team a theater goal to save the team in crisis again this time.
In the end, Manchester City won 2-1.
