BSS, Berlin :
David Silva’s last-grasp goal helped Manchester City to wrap up a 2-1 comeback win against Hoffenheim in Champions League’s Group F on Tuesday.
Hoffenheim were unable to defend their 1-0 lead as goals from Sergio Aguero and David Silve secured Manchester City’s first win in Europe’s elite competition this season.
However, things started other than expected as hosts Hoffenheim ensured a fairy tale start into the encounter after Ishak Belfodil broke the deadlock from Kerem Demirbay’s square pass with just 44 seconds played.
It was a short-lived joy for Hoffenheim though as Manchester City rallied back seven minutes later when Leroy Sane’s assist allowed Aguero to tap home the equalizer from very close range.
The visitors increased the pressure and came to a number of chances as Raheem Sterling and Aguero tested Hoffenheim goalkeeper Oliver Baumann with promising efforts.
As the match progressed, Hoffenheim were unable to hold the pace but they defended well and gave the “Citizens” a hard time to take a 1-1 draw into the half time.
After the restart, Pep Guardiola’s men assumed control of the proceedings on the pitch whereas the hosts defended deep and focused on fast breaks.
