After conceding a second half goal that cut into their lead over Dynamo Kiev, there were some nervous glances on the Man City sidelines. But Yaya Toure managed to put those fears to bed with a late goal to seal a win over their Champions League foe and send them one step closer to a rare trip to the UCL quarter-finals.
Missed opportunities were abound throughout the game as the Citizens missed a golden opportunity to increase their lead to three goals, but it was not to be and in the heart of the second half Vitaliy Buyalsky scored a goal to make the game a narrow 2-1 Man City lead.
