3:55Yalcouyé meets a low cross to put Brighton ahead.
4:47Kovačić equalizes from the edge of the box after City's handball appeals.
5:43Rutter's first-time finish restores Brighton's lead.

7:22The penalty shootout begins; its decisive moment comes at 08:14.

Mateo Kovačić's penalty has been saved, and Manchester City need their goalkeeper to answer. Gerónimo Rulli does it twice: first denying Yasin Ayari, then stopping Lewis Dunk to send City through against Brighton.

The club's extended highlights have passed two million views, with an estimated first-day audience about twenty-five times its usual start for regular videos. The shootout gives that unusually large audience a finish worth staying for, but City's escape begins well before the spot kicks.

Brighton take the lead through Yalcouyé, only for Kovačić to equalize from the edge of the box. Georginio Rutter restores the visitors' advantage after the break. Rulli then tips a deflected effort over the bar, keeping City within reach before Rayan Cherki's free kick takes a deflection into the net.

Cherki has another part to play in the shootout, converting City's final kick before Rulli makes the decisive stop. City advance after a draw in which they never lead during normal play.

The comments keep returning to the goalkeeper rather than just the scorers. Viewers point out his repeated dives to the same side, compare him with City's other backup keepers and draw the familiar connection between Argentine goalkeepers and penalty saves. Others single out Enzo Maresca's reaction to Rulli at the finish.
