Europa League: Red Bull Salzburg v Manchester City half time report
Salzburg 0 Man City 1
David Silva’s first goal for Manchester City has given his side the advantage halfway through their Europa League group A opener in Salzburg.
Spanish international Silva slotted home following good work from Wayne Bridge and Jo in the early stages, giving City a lead that they have never really looked like relinquishing.
The summer signing from Valencia should have extended the advantage moments before half time, but his close range effort was well saved by Gerhard Tremmel, who has also denied both Carlos Tévez and Jo from distance.
City ‘keeper Joe Hart has had very little to worry about, although Salzburg captain Ibrahim Sekagya did strike the top of the crossbar with a bouncing effort.
