Manchester City nearly broke the deadlock against the run of play when Jake O'Brien , under pressure from Erling Haaland , inadvertently headed a Phil Foden corner onto his own crossbar.
The clearest chance of the half fell to Everton striker Beto . Following an interception by Iliman Ndiaye from a Nathan Aké pass, Ndiaye delivered a low cross that found Beto in a prime position. However, on the stretch and with an open goal at his mercy, he poked the ball wide of the post.
Despite Manchester City's typical dominance in possession, Everton proved to be the more threatening side during the opening 45 minutes. The visitors effectively neutralized City’s attack while creating several high-quality opportunities to take the lead.
In the 2025/26 Premier League season, the first-half meeting between and Everton at the Etihad Stadium on October 18, 2025, was characterized by a resilient Everton defense that frustrated the hosts, keeping the scoreline level at 0–0 until the break. First-Half Summary: MCI 0–0 EVE
