World Football Challenge: Citizens Win PK Shootout Thriller At HDC

At Carson, California:


In the lone Sunday World Football Challenge contest, Mario Balotelli's successful penalty kick at 20 minutes put Manchester City up 1-0, only to see Mike Magee equalize at 53 minutes for the Los Angeles Galaxy.  With the score deadlocked at 1-1 after regulation time, and with no overtime periods, the match went to the penalty-kick shootout.


James Milner, Vladimir Weiss, Denis Suarez, Aleksandr Kolarov, Nigel de Jong, Shaun Wright-Phillips, and Joe Hart all made their spot kicks as the Citizens won the shootout 7-6 after nine rounds.
