27 minutes into the game, Matheus Nunes commits a clear technical foul on Veltman but doesn't receive a yellow card for it.
26 min: Another impressive play from City concludes with Haaland forcing Verbruggen to make a clever save at his near post after a strong right-foot shot.
In the 25th minute, Kovacic delivered an expertly weighted pass, but Haaland had to rely on his incredible strength and make a couple of attempts to fend off two Brighton defenders before finally getting the ball past Verbruggen.
Haaland Scores As Man City Beats Brighton 1-0
City takes the lead. Kovacic sets up Haaland, who takes a shot that's partially stopped by Verbruggen but doesn’t go in. With Jean Paul van Hecke putting pressure on him, Haaland manages to find the net on his second try, pushing his way past the fallen goalie to nudge the ball in off the crossbar.
At the 22-minute mark, Rutter sends a cross from the left side that goes right in front of the City goal. Ederson easily gathers the ball before Welbeck has a chance to make an impact.
At the 21-minute mark, Jahmai Simpson-Pusey is positioned at the center of a three-man defense while City has the ball. The 18-year-old has been solid and hasn’t made any mistakes in his first Premier League appearance.
19 minutes into the match: Yasin Ayari receives a yellow card for pulling Phil Foden down by both hands as Foden attempted to break away. There's no arguing with that decision.
At the 18-minute mark, Erling Haaland attempted to connect with a cross from the left side at the far post, but he ended up sending the ball soaring over the bar with an awkward touch. Manchester City is starting to gain the upper hand.
17 min: Regardless of the matchup between Mitoma and Walker, Estupinan and Savinho is turning out to be a completely lopsided battle. Currently, it looks like the Brazilian is easily getting the better of the Brighton left-back.
In the 15th minute, Bart Verbruggen made a fantastic save by stretching out his leg to stop Savinho, who was charging towards the goal after receiving a pass from Mateo Kovacic. Great stop!
15 minutes in: Mitoma attempts to send a well-placed pass to Georginio Rutter, who is making a run behind the City defense, but the referee calls offside on the French player.
In the 14th minute, Savinho tried to send a cross from the right side toward the far post, but it sailed just over the Brighton goal and landed on top of the net.
12 minutes in: Veltman sends a pass forward for Yasin Ayari to run onto, but Manchester City has moved up the pitch. The Brighton midfielder is clearly offside.
11 minutes in: We're now over the 10-minute mark, but still, neither team has managed to take a shot on goal.
At the 9-minute mark, Nunes makes another attempt to challenge Veltman, but the Brighton defender holds his ground, forcing Nunes to retreat. Just a short while later, Savinho successfully outmaneuvers Pervis Estupinan along the right sideline. He reaches the byline but can't find a teammate with his cutback.
At the 8-minute mark, Mitoma applies pressure on Walker while he attempts to clear the ball from the right-back position for City. As a result, the ball goes out of play, last touched by Brighton’s Japanese winger, leading to a throw-in.
In the 7th minute, Mateo Kovacic sends a long ball intended for Savinho to chase, but he puts too much power behind the pass. Bart Verbruggen reacts quickly, rushing out of his goal to gather the bouncing ball.
In the 4th minute, Danny Welbeck loses the ball easily to Walker in the midfield, allowing City to push forward. However, they end up passing the ball back to the home team.
3 min: City is passing the ball among their defenders while facing a vigorous press from Brighton. The matchup between Kaoru Mitoma and Kyle Walker is likely to be one of the most interesting aspects of the match.
In the 2nd minute, Matheus Nunes carries the ball towards the edge of the field for City, but Joel Veltman stops him from making a cross. Brighton manages to push the opposing team back.

Brighton Vs Man City Starting Line-ups
Brighton lineup: Verbruggen; Veltman, Van Hecke, Julio, Estupinan; Hinshelwood, Ayari, Rutter; Adingra, Welbeck, Mitoma.
Certainly! Here’s a rephrased version of the section you provided: Substitutes: Steele, Gruda, Pedro, Enciso, Moder, Baleba, Wieffer, Ferguson, O’Riley.
Manchester City lineup: Ederson in goal; Walker, Simpson-Pusey, Gvardiol, and Lewis in defense; Kovacic, Gundogan, and Nunes in the midfield; Savinho, Haaland, and Foden leading the attack.
Substitutes: Ortega, Ake, De Bruyne, Bernardo, Akanji, Wright, O'Reilly, McAtee, Wilson-Esbrand.
Brighton is missing Adam Webster, Solly March, and James Milner, and they're also concerned about the fitness of Yasin Ayari, Lewis Dunk, and Yankuba Minteh. However, they might have Joao Pedro and Matt O’Riley back in the squad for today's match after being out for a while.
With Ballon d’Or winner Rodri sidelined for the rest of the season and Oscar Bobb still healing from a broken leg, Pep Guardiola faces additional injury issues. Jack Grealish, John Stones, and Ruben Dias are also doubts for tonight's match.
In more positive updates for the champions, Kevin De Bruyne has been named in the lineup for their last two matches and was able to step onto the field for a few minutes during City's midweek Champions League loss to Sporting.
Manchester City heads to the south coast after suffering three straight losses across three different tournaments. This marks the first occasion since 2018 that Pep Guardiola's team has experienced three losses in a row.
They take on a Brighton team that has suffered back-to-back defeats against Liverpool in both the Carabao Cup and the Premier League. However, Fabian Hurzeler is sure that his squad can hold their own against the champions, who have been conceding goals and appear unusually exposed.
The match at the Amex Stadium is set to start at 5:30 PM, but before that, we'll share updates about the teams and provide some pre-game coverage.
