Manchester City have it all to do next week if they are to remain in the Europa League after a 2-0 defeat at Dynamo Kiev in their last-16 tie.<\/p>\n
City are chasing a two-goal deficit after former Chelsea striker Andriy Shevchenko and Oleh Gusev handed Kiev a useful advantage in the first leg.<\/p>\n
To complete a frustrating night for manager Roberto Mancini, Mario Balotelli came off in the second half with the Italian striker claiming to be unwell.<\/p>\n
After a bright start City showed nothing like the kind of form that marked them down as tournament favourites.<\/p>\n
They knew it would be a tough test in freezing conditions as Dynamo went into the match having lost only one of their past 16 games.<\/p>\n
With Carlos Tevez on the bench Gareth Barry was handed the captain’s armband.<\/p>\n
David Silva threaded the ball through to Micah Richards in the 11th minute only for goalkeeper Olexandr Shovkovskly to block his path.<\/p>\n
Balotelli then tried to release Edin Dzeko in the 18th minute only to put too much weight on the pass and the ball drifted out of play.<\/p>\n
City kept up the momentum and won a free-kick 25 yards out but Aleksandar Kolarov sent his effort into the goalkeeper’s body.<\/p>\n
Dynamo took the lead with their first attempt on goal in the 24th minute when Shevchenko poked home following a cross from Andriy Yarmolenko.<\/p>\n
Shevchenko’s goal rocked City with the striker showing that at 34 he has not lost his scoring instincts.<\/p>\n
The home side were growing in confidence and this was a testing spell for City.<\/p>\n
Dynamo after all had hammered Turkish side Besiktas 8-1 on aggregate in the last round to progress in style.<\/p>\n
Shevchenko then cut the ball back from the byline into the area in the 40th minute after an incisive move.<\/p>\n
However Pablo Zabaleta was well positioned and cleared the ball to safety to City’s relief.<\/p>\n
Back came Dynamo and Gusev dragged a shot wide of the post on the stroke of half time from 18 yards.<\/p>\n
Balotelli was late arriving for the start of the second half and appeared to be in some distress.<\/p>\n
He was clutching his face with reports on TV stating the Italian striker was claiming to be unwell.<\/p>\n
Mancini, however, was in no hurry to take him off and Balotelli suffered further misery in the 54th minute when he was booked for a challenge on Ayila Yussuf.<\/p>\n
Three minutes later Balotelli headed for the dressing room and was replaced by Tevez.<\/p>\n
City almost drew level in the 59th minute when Barry laid the ball back to Yaya Toure on the edge of the area.<\/p>\n
He struck his shot sweet and true only for the goalkeeper to get down quickly and turn it around the post.<\/p>\n
Dynamo continued to look dangerous on the counter attack and Artem Milevskiy got into a good position only to deliver a weak shot that Hart saved comfortably.<\/p>\n
City hit back and Joleon Lescott tried his luck on goal in the 68th minute only for Shovkovskly to make the save.<\/p>\n
City’s troubles increased in the 77th minute when Dynamo forged 2-0 ahead after poor defending.<\/p>\n
Richards failed to deal with a flick on from Milevskiy and Gusev smashed a volley home from eight yards.<\/p>\n
Tevez gave City some dynamism but they were unable to pull a goal back and there is much work to be done next week if their European campaign is to continue.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
