Craig Bellamy leads City to victory
By: j | February 26th, 2009
On the strength of Craig Bellamy’s two late goals, Manchester City defeated FC København 2-1 in the UEFA Cup. With the victory the Citizens will now face Danish side Aalborg BK in the round of sixteen which commences on March 12.
For the majority of the match both sides were clearly worried about leaving themselves open to the counter and were lacking in attacking zeal. When openings did occur finishing was not up to snuff until. However with seventeen minutes remaining Craig Bellamy took matters into his own hands as he got on the end of Stephen Ireland’s provision and dispatched the ball into the net after fighting off the København defenders. With the one goal advantage the Wales international continued his stunning goal scoring spree since joining Mark Hughes side, as with ten minutes remaining he redirected Robinho’s pass from close range. Denmark capped Martin Vingaard added his name to the score-sheet with a consolation goal deep into added time but it mattered little as the match ended with a solid 2-1 victory for City.
