Reyna's corners have been quality. Sibierski could have put that away to make it 4-2.

 

I assume Claudio is still in? Did he have any role in the last two goals?

 

Man City now energized. FK 80th minute, yellow card to Lokeren for bad tackle or dissent, I couldn't tell.

Fk from Anelka well saved, corner Man City

 

He's in, but didn't have any involvement in the goals that I could see. Playing fairly well, though. And as I type that he passes errantly into touch.

 

My question was answered while I was posting about him being in.

Rob,no other results in an R thread,please.

 

Anelka wins FK on the left side of the box, Reyna to take... cleared.

Put back in, Anelka STONED by gk, gk also clears rebound attempt.

 

Sorry about that, its just he`s a keeper and I thought it was worth a mention. I`ll keep the actual scoreline quiet.

 

Reyna puts a free kick through the box, from the left side, but City can't connect with it. Much better than his last free kick.

Great to see Claudio played what appears to have been a hell of a match.

But City have dug themselves a whole and better show up for real Belgium.
