Manchester City 3 Sporting Lisbon 2 (agg 3-3): Mancini's men out despite comeback
Posted Friday, March 16, 2012 by
Mancini attempted to bring some solidity back to his side by sending on Nigel de Jong for Johnson at the start of the second half. Edin Dzeko also came off the bench to bolster the forward line, replacing midfielder David Pizarro.
The changes seemed to work as City became more measured in possession.
They eventually pulled one back on the hour as Yaya Toure, fed by Micah Richards, picked out Aguero in the box, who took a touch and turned to fire past Rui Patricio.
