Today at 17:00 in England, the 2018-19 season started - two "Premier League" giants fought for the first season trophy. At Wembley Stadium, London, Chelsea and Manchester City battled for the Community Shield title. The "Citizens" were considered favorites and lived up to their name - they defeated their opponents 2-0 and celebrated their first season trophy. In the 13th minute, the visitors from Manchester took the lead - Phil Foden, breaking through with the ball, timely passed it to Sergio Aguero, who scored with a powerful shot that left Willy Caballero with no chance. The striker crossed the 200-goal mark in the "Man City" club with this precise shot. In the first half, Chelsea failed to equalize and went to the locker room with a 0-1 score. In the second half, Maurizio Sarri's team's performance did not improve - the "Citizens" continued to dominate both with the ball and in creating chances. In the 58th minute, the same S. Aguero sealed the deal in this duel - receiving another exquisite pass from Bernardo Silva, the Argentine increased the lead to two goals.
