Live Commentary
Time:90'- Dynamo Dresden
- Manchester City
FULL TIME: Man City 0-0 Dynamo Dresden. And a fairly drab night draws to a close. Thanks for joining us!
89' Tobias Muller on for Dynamo.- 88' City subs: Evans, Bunn and Boyata all on.
- 87' A mistake from Evans and Dresden counter but Leistner's shot is easily saved.
- 86' City subs: Evans, Bunn and Boyata all on.
85' A good chance for Dynamo as it’s pulled back to Fiel but his shot is blocked.- 84' Fiel whips it in but Johansen claims.
83' Helan goes in the book for a needless challenge and Dynamo win a dangerous free kick.- 81' Weiss has looked enterprising for City since coming on. Poor ball from Razzak drifts out for a goal kick.
- 79' Weiss crosses the ball in and Subasic nearly heads it into his own net!
- 78' It all has rather a training ground knock about feel to it and precious few openings being created as the new faces try to settle on both sides.
- 77' It was Tevez who made way for Scapuzzi.
- 75' Jungnickel and Leistner on for Dresden.
- 74' Scapuzzi also on for City.
- 73' Man City sub: Pantilimon for Johansen.
- 72' It’s been another rusty looking City display so far but still time to show a little flair.
- 71' Tevez goes down and wins a free kick. News coming out of Paris is that Zlatan Ibrahimovic will complete his move to PSG from Milan.
- 70' City sub: Yaya Toure off for Abdul Razak
- 68' It would be a huge blow if that’s serious for City to lose the player of the year to a serious muscle strain but he looked okay when he went off. Most likely a precaution.
- 67' Kompany goes down clutching his hamstring. Could be cramp or something more sinister. Karim Rekik comes on in his place.
- 66' Great ball forward for Weiss but Kirsten tips it wide. So nearly the opener for City!
- 64' Danger from Dresden but it ends tamely in the hands of Pantilimon. Kolarov crosses and Kirsten claims.
- 63' City sub: Lopez off for Vladimir Weiss.
- 62' Man City changes imminent and they certainly need something.
- 61' Fiel gets inside Savic with ease but Kompany comes across to block.
- 59' Neither team has upped the tempo since the break. Koch goes down in the hope of a penalty but not even close!
- 57' City win their first corner but Kolarov’s inswinger is cleared.
- 56' Toure wins a free kick after a foul by Losilla. City build again.
- 55' Long shot from Biton saved by Pantilimon.
- 54' Lopez gets to the byline and crosses but Fiel clears.
- 53' Kolorov looks for a foul on the edge of the box but it’s waved away.
- 52' Sergio Aguero is off for the aforemantioned Jelavic.
- 51' Zabaleta cross easily dealt with by Jungwirth.
- 50' Subasic and Jungwirth are on for Dynamo.
- 48' Toure comes forward for City but it’s all a bit cagey still and Dynamo clear easily.
- 46' The wholesale changes have not materialised as yet.
- 45' Triallist Mario Jelavic is on for City.
We’r e underway again here and let’s hope for a little better than the first half. Mancini, as expected, has rung the changes at the break and brought on some fresh young blood.- 45' And that’s half time with City still looking for their first goal of this pre-season campaign.
- 44' Aguero links up with Tevez who tumbles and looks for a penalty. Far too theatrical and the referee waves it away.
- 43' Mancini has fielded a strong line-up tonight but may well ring the changes at the break. Bad challenge by Zabaleta on Solga. Only a caution.
- 41' First half possession: Man City 68% - 32% Dresden.
- 40' Trojan cynically brings down Lopez and is shown the yellow card.
- 38' City have laboured in the final third so far and the tempo has really slowed significantly.
- 37' Trojan looks for a corner but Kompany shepherds the ball out for a goal kick.
- 36' Kolarov looks for Aguero but Dresden defend well again.
- 35' Ten minutes to the break and City have yet to impose themselves after a promising first quarter of an hour.
- 33' Gueye breaks clear and gets his cross in but Pantilimon claims.
- 32' City are still waiting for their first goal of this pre-season campaign. The last time they scored was Aguero’s winner against QPR.
- 31' City’s next game is against Besiktas on Friday.
- 30' There have been sporadic moments but it’s fair to say this match has yet to catch fire after the half hour mark. Aguero is robbed by Gueye and Dresden counter.
- 29' The City keeper then flaps badly but is pushed and City win a fre kick. Encouraging for Dresden though.
- 28' Pantilimon spills the ball in front of Pote but recovers to block for a corner.
- 27' Trojan whips it into the near post but Pantilimon claims well.
- 26' Pote wins a free kick off Kolo Toure. Looked a harsh one.
- 25' Koz thinks he has won a corner off Kolarov but the referee has different ideas. Goal kick.
- 24' Toure tries to find Aguero with a neat chip over the top but Dynamo are alive to the danger.
- 23' Toure has his pass intercepted and Biton is shown the yellow for a bad challenge.
- 22' Lots of noise from the Dynamo fans tonight. They’ve obviously had less distance to travel!
- 21' Pote tries to get things going for Dresden. Solga finds Trojan but he sends his header just wide. that's the best from Dynamo so far.
- 20' City build again in the Dynamo half, Kolarov crosses but Kirsten claims.
- 18' Trojan nearly gets in behind the City defence but Toure nips in to clear.
- 17' Great work from Tezez who finds an opening to shoot just outside the box but he fires it just wide of a sprawling Kirsten. Livening up now.
- 16' Toure finds Tevez who sets it up for Lopez but his shot is blocked by Schuppan. Best chance yet.
- 14' It’s been a fairly quiet start here in all honesty, City looking patient but failing to produce any openings.
- 13' Zabalata concedes a free kick then petulantly fires the ball away in frustration.
- 12' Toure looks for Aguero but Dresden clear the danger. Solga looks for Pote who fails to get to the ball.
10' Zabaleta caught offside. No clear cut chances as yet still.- 9' Tevez effort is blocked.
- 8' Aguero links with Savic but City concede a free kick and Dresden clear.
- 7' City have Dresden pegged back in their own half at the moment, the German side struggling to get hold of the ball.
- 6' Dresden averaged less than one and a half goals a game last season, one of the less potent attacking forces.
- 4' City with all the possession so far, Kompany taking up a position on the right hand side.
- 3' Zabaleta tries to find Toure but well defended by Dresden.
- 2' Aguero gives chase and City win a throw. Bright start.
- 1' Interception by Lopez but his first touch was just a little too heavy. He was almost in!
We're underway here, City kicking off in their customary colours of sky blue against Dresden in yellow with black shorts.- 17.55 The Premier League champions will be looking to bounce back from their 1-0 defeat in their opening pre-season friendly against Saudi side Al Hilal against a Bundesliga 2 side that finished 9th in Bundesliga 2 last season.
