Manchester City comfortably progressed to the final qualifying round of the UEFA Cup after a 2-0 win at Oakwell wrapped up a 4-0 aggregate triumph over EB Streymur.

City made heavy weather of beating the brave Faroe Islanders, and it was not until early in the second-half that Martin Petrov struck to ease any worries amongst the Manchester fans who had travelled to Yorkshire for this second-leg.

The part-timers produced a defiant defensive display with goalkeeper Rene Torgard - a mechanic by trade - their star performer.

But the result on the night was completed when Darius Vassell raced into the area before rounding Torgard and slotting the ball home.

After the match manager Mark Hughes said: "They defended extremely well. It was damage limitation from them really, but you have to give them praise for their efforts.

"Their goalkeeper had a wonderful night, they threw bodies in the way of everything and made life very difficult for us."
