It
definitely lived up to the hype of being the clash of champions with some
excellent saves from both keepers as well as some brilliant counter attacking
football from the German Champions. Manchester City equalized with an 89th-minute
Penalty from Mario Balotelli to deny the excellent Borussia Dortmund side full
three points.
It
has to be said that Joe Hart is definitely a goal keeper of great class after
making lots of excellent saves to deny the German side a well deserved win.
The visitors
finally went ahead in the 61st minute with a well stroke shot from
Marco Reus after an array of chances either saved by Hart or the wood work. Joe
Hart definitely kept the hosts in the game with such sublime goal keeping.
Substitute
Mario Balotelli scored from the penalty spot after being on the pitch for just
eight minutes. He exquisitely slotted the ball into the post with such
excellent precision following a harsh hand ball given against Neven Subotic who
handled an Aguero volley.
Well,
it’s a good result for Manchester City considering how many chances the German
side had to go ahead.
In a
group that is made up of champions of Spain, England, Germany and Holland any
result would definitely be appreciated. It still remains to be seen if
Manchester City has what it takes to make it out of the group into the second
round. However, the German champions really look like a team that is definitely
ready to take on real Champions League football.
The second
place position is still open and qualifications could still go either way. Who
will make it to the second round in the group of champions???
Till
next time y’all stay TRUE 2 SOCCER…
