Manchester City’s Riyad Mahrez has just missed a penalty in the Premier League side’s Champions League clash with Copenhagen before Sergio Gomez was sent off.
Pep Guardiola’s team will go through to the round of 16 with a win tonight and, as expected, City have started the match as the better team.
The Manchester club have had some chances and Rodri had a wonderful goal disallowed for a handball in the build-up, but had a chance to take the lead minutes later from the penalty spot.
However, Riyad Mahrez had his penalty shot saved as the match remains 0-0.
