Brian Barry-Murphy‘s team fought hard to maintain City’s unbeaten run in the European showpiece this season and the win also secured our place in the knockout stage for a second successive season.
Yannick Eduardo’s penalty gave the visitors the lead despite City holding the large spells of the ball in the opening 45 minutes.

In the second half City came out fighting and after a flurry of chances, left the visiting defensive line on the back foot.
And after a handful of opportunities, Kane Taylor converted a chipped Mahamadou Susoho pass to rocket City’s confidence.
The boys in blue continued to work hard for each other and in the closing stages, a fantastic run by Taylor allowed him to assist Josh Adam who scored the decisive goal and secure City’s place in the knockouts.
