Just before halftime, Brighton took the lead with Malick Yalcouye's close-range finish from Georginio Rutter's cross. However, City quickly equalized through Mateo Kovacic's strike five minutes before halftime. The game continued to be intense, with Brighton's Fabian Hurzeler re-taking the lead shortly after the restart, following Rutter's fine first-time finish. Brighton's efforts to extend their lead were thwarted by Rulli's remarkable fingertip save, denying Rutter a second goal, and his thwarted shot hitting the side netting. Rayan Cherki's effort went wide, while a late free-kick by Brighton's substitute Mats Wieffer also struck the post.
