"Man Utd" once again demonstrated an astonishing winning mentality - in the season's opening battle for the FA Community Shield, Sir Alex Ferguson's proteges were two goals down in the first half, but celebrated a dramatic victory of 3-2 against "Man City" after the break. Each year, the English champions and FA Cup winners clash in this match. Last season, both trophies were won by the Manchester teams - "Man Utd" and "Man City", respectively. Joleon Lescott put "Man City" ahead with a header after a pass from David Silva, and just before half-time, Edin Dzeko, unconvincingly played by "Man Utd" new goalkeeper David De Gea, doubled the lead. However, right after the break, balance was restored: first, Chris Smalling scored a goal, and almost immediately after, a virtuosic combination by the "Man Utd" players ended with a goal by Nani. Just when it seemed that the teams would have to settle the match with penalty shootouts, Nani, taking advantage of a rough defender's mistake, jumped one-on-one against Joe Hart for the third time and secured the victory for the "Man Utd" club. The duel at London's Wembley Stadium was watched by 77 thousand fans. "Man City" 2 - 3 "Man Utd" 38' [0 - 1] J.Lescott 45' [0 - 2] E.Dzeko 52' [1 - 2] C.Smalling 53' [2 - 2] Nani 90' [3 - 2] Nani
