First-half goals from Felipe Caicedo and Shaun Wright-Phillips gave Manchester City a 2-0 win over Aalborg in the UEFA Cup. More
90+4 Kristensen sends it high into to the box Richards heads clear, the whistle goes and City take a two-goal lead into the second leg.
88' Aalborg come forward, Caca on the right, inside to Shelton who plays the one-two and surely for Caca but he fires it wide!
87' CITY SUB: Wright-Phillips comes off to a standing ovation, with a rare appearance for Kelvin Etuhu on in his place. That is the brother of Fulham's Dickson, by the way.
86' AALBORG SUB: Jacobsen cannot continue, Lasse Nielsen is on in his place.
84' Jacobsen is carried off, bruising to his knee it seems.
76' AALBORG SUB: Risgaard on for Evenoldsen, probably for his own protection.
74' Long by Bridge to find Elano who takes it down with a wonderful touch, totally flummoxing Jacobsen and he slides an even better reverse pass inside Beauchamp AND WRIGHT-PHILLIPS FOR THREE BUT HE HAMMERS IT WIDE! City want to win this cup, you know.
72' Elano is booked for preventing a free-kick from being taken by compatriot Caca. Foolish and pointless.
71' Corner to Aalborg but a thumping header clear by Dunne. Wright-Phillips controls the loose ball with a great touch but Enevoldsen hacks him down and gets a yellow that rules him out of the return leg.
69' Ireland wide to Evans on the right, he does really well to play it back to Ireland, who glides across the edge of the box to Robinho who can curl it in but spots Richards far post and finds him with a perfect lob, he heads it downwards and surely 3-0 but off the line by Kristensen! The ref blows just as the block is made, as Robinho was offside apparently. Bit of a delayed reaction...
66' AALBORG SUB: Curth on for Due.
63' MANCHESTER CITY SUB: Evans on for Caicedo.
55' Great play by Robinho sets Ireland free on the right, he's blocked off by Kristensen so puts it back to ROBINHO BUT TIPPED WIDE BY ZAZA! Super stuff from City.
51' This one will be taken by Elano again although from the right... he sends it hanging towards the near post WHERE ONUOHA ARRIVES WITH THE HEADER but he powers it over!! Great chance for Onuoha.
46' Second half underway!!

45+1 Half-time, 2-0 to City and great entertainment at Eastlands!
45' Corner to City then, it's half-cleared and drops to Robinho on the left. He's in the box but has Beauchamp in front of him, he does the step-over trick, once, twice, a third time and the Aussie defender just hacks him down and that's a penalty but no, the ref waves play on! How on earth could he not give that? Shocking refereeing, Beauchamp just hacked at him and Robinho flew up in the air and landed on his backside. If that wasn't a pen it was a quite spectacular dive. Bizarre refereeing, one could speculate that he thought Robinho was taking the Michael and thus deserved it.
44' City break, Ireland comes forward, he runs at the Aalborg defence but goes into the left corner, there are men all around him, where's he going? Oh a superb backheel to Robinho who unleashes a shot but it's deflected and wide! What skill and vision by Ireland!
40' The corner is half cleared and Wright-Phillips drills it near post for ELANO but he pokes it over! Flag was up, Elano was offside.
39' City swarm forward, delightful passing and Onuoha shoots but deflected wide by Johansson! Corner.
32' Bogelund comes forward, he plays it inside and it ricochets off Elano into the path of Augustinussen who's clean through but puts it wide! What a chance!
30' Ireland in the middle, runs forward and slips it wide to Wright-Phillips, he cuts inside and leaves Kristensen for dead, the angle is tight BUT HE RELEASES A BRILLIANT SHOT THE CURLS OUT AND IN AND PAST THE DIVING ZAZA INTO THE TOP RIGHT! WHAT A STRIKE! 2-0 City!!
29' Great play by City, Elano to Caicedo, back to Robinho who slides it wide to Richards, he's surely too acute but still gets there to force the save by Zaza! Corner.
22' Robinho is dilly-dallying outside the City box and Johansson robs him, plays it wide right to Caca who is in and drives on goal but Given saves and it spins over the bar! Lucky escape for City, and Robinho, who really should stay up front lest he give it away like that. Much more use up the other end of the pitch.
19' Caca with a superb ball central to Bogelund in the middle and he knocks it wide for JOHANSSON but a great block by Richards! Corner. The Danes are right back in this now.
12' Good play by Aalborg as Caca knocks it back to Johansson who is in space, runs at Dunne and cuts it back for Enevoldsen who can score but he's off-balance as he hits it and the ball skews wide! Great chance Aalborg.
9' City swarm forward again, this is good stuff from the Premier League side and Robinho cuts across to Bridge who has got in on the overlap and he's in but the low centre is intercepted by a diving Zaza!
8' Robinho on the left slides it inside to Caicedo on the edge of the box, he has his back to goal with Jacobsen behind him but he shrugs him off like a small child and slips it past Zaza for 1-0! Great strength from Caicedo, who is a big lump of a man despite his tender years, City lead and they deserve it.
6' City move forward, one-touch play, in from Elano and Wright-Phillips now for CAICEDO WITH THE DRIVE but over from the edge of the box! Great chance.
