Manuel Pellegrini went with a little stronger of a lineup for today’s Champions League match with Ukraine side Dynamo Kiev. Despite letting Kiev control most of the ball, Manchester City has complete control of the tie. Man City scored 2 goals in the first half, giving them 2 very crucial away goal. The first goal game from a corner that fell perfectly for Sergio Aguero. Aguero was left mostly unmarked by the Kiev defense.

City’s second goal was definitely the prettier of the two. Aguero started the play by holding the ball up well, and backheeling it to an oncoming Raheem Sterling who delivered a low cross to David Silva. It was a perfect cross and Silva hit it into the top of the net.

Manchester City have a chance to put this tie to bed in the second half if they can score another.
