Manchester City staged a dramatic comeback to draw 1-1 with Manchester United in the Community Shield on Saturday, eventually triumphing 7-6 in a thrilling penalty shoot-out.
The match saw Manchester United take the lead when Alejandro Garnacho scored in the 82nd minute. However, City responded just seven minutes later when Bernardo Silva headed in an equalizer, setting the stage for a penalty shoot-out.
In the shoot-out, Manchester United’s goalkeeper, André Onana, made an early impact by saving City’s first penalty, denying Bernardo Silva. Despite this setback, the shoot-out extended to sudden death after City’s goalkeeper, Ederson, made a crucial save against Jadon Sancho.
The pivotal moment occurred when Jonny Evans missed his penalty, sending his shot over the bar. Manuel Akanji then stepped up for City and coolly converted his penalty, driving the ball into the top corner of the net to secure the victory for the Premier League champions.
