Maresca Starts Manchester City Reign With Shoot-out Defeat to Inter Milan
Enzo Maresca began his Manchester City tenure with a penalty-shootout defeat to Inter Milan after a 1-1 pre-season draw in Hong Kong. City went ahead in the 14th minute when Antoine Semenyo set up Divin Mubama for a close-range finish. Inter responded six minutes later, with Benjamin Pavard scoring after City failed to clear a corner. Despite enjoying more possession and hitting the woodwork in the second half, City could not find a winner. Inter won the shoot-out 3-1 after City missed their opening two penalties. Maresca, who was without several senior players recovering from the World Cup, said he was pleased with the performance. Phil Foden captained City in the new manager's first game.
