Darikwa and Gundogan met the referee in the centre circle, both nodding to each other as the official went through the formalities.
The referee held the coin up before flicking it.
"Gentlemen," he said as it landed.
"I'd love a clean one today. No drama right?"
Gundogan smiled at that before nudging his head in Darikwa's direction.
"That depends on them."
Darikwa glanced at him replicating what Gundogan had just done.
"Sam's goes for them too."
The referee chuckled and pointed toward the result of the toss a second later
Darikwa had won it and made his decision without much deliberation, City would kick off and Wigan would have the second half start.
The two captains shook hands and went their separate ways.
"Right," the commentator said as the players took their positions.
"Everything is in place. The coin has been tossed, the formalities are done, and now ninety thousand people inside Wembley Stadium are waiting for one thing."
