How could you expect as many goals as four in a game like this? You and I know that both Manchester city and Inter Milan are very solid team in their respective local league and Inter Milan always play their best game against top teams. I as well expected Manchester city to win with at least a goal to nil but I have no second thought about under 2.5 goals because I know how Inter Milan defense is.
Last season, Inter had by far the best defence in the Serie A. They've lost only 22 goals in 38 matches (2nd AC Milan lost 49 goals). But with games at this level anything is possible. If either team managed to score an early one, we could have a completely different game.
I think either team is satisfied with a draw tonight. On paper, this was the most difficult game in the group stage for both teams.
Just for the sidelines, yesterday games produced a total of 28 goals while today's was just a total of 13 goals, a very wide gap in my opinion.
Very wide gap indeed, and it was largely due to an exceptional Bayern Vs Dinmo match where we've seen 11 goals, something that doesn't happen very often.
But even excluding Bayern's game, the average goals per match was 3.4 yesterday as compared to 2.17 today, so still a notable difference.
