Deyna Castellanos’ spectacular second half strike couldn’t prevent Venezuela from a 2-1 friendly defeat to Scotland.

The City forward found the net from 45 yards just before the hour for the South Americans in Cadiz, Spain after spotting Jenna Fife off her line.

It was a moment of typical brilliance from the 23-year-old, who had scored a similarly impressive goal against Cameroon in 2017, which saw her nominated for the FIFA Puskas award.

However, Castellanos’ heroics weren’t enough to earn her nation victory against Pedro Martinez Losa’s side.

Goals from Kelly Clark and former City forward Claire Emslie handed Scotland a two-goal advantage at the break, and they ultimately held on to claim victory at the Estadio Antonio Bardillo.

CITY V UNITED: ETIHAD DERBY

City welcome Manchester United to the Etihad Stadium on Sunday 11 December.

Kick-off is scheduled for 12:30 (UK), with tickets selling fast for our third-ever women’s match at the Etihad.

We hosted Everton there back in May 2014, before welcoming our local rivals in September 2019, when Caroline Weir’s wonder strike saw us run out 1-0 winners in front of what was then a WSL record crowd, and what remains a club record of 31, 213 fans.

With over 30,000 tickets already sold, it promises to be another historic occasion.
