WEMBLEY, LONDON — Manchester City have won the 2024 Community Shield on penalties after a 1-1 draw with Manchester United in regular time. 

Jadon Sancho, who made his first appearance for United since leaving the club on rocky terms with manager Erik ten Hag earlier this year, missed a crucial penalty. Jonny Evans also missed, allowing City defender Manuel Akanji to step up and score the winner. 

During the 90 minutes, Alejandro Garnacho scored from the bench to give United the lead before super sub Bernardo Silva equalised late and forced the game to a penalty shootout. 

The Argentine forward became the youngest player to score in the Community Shield since Cesc Fabregas for Arsenal against Chelsea in 2005. He is also the youngest to do so for United since George Best in 1965. 

Pep Guardiola's side put an end to their Community Shield losing streak, as they avoided a fourth defeat in this competition in a row.

90+2 mins: It's City who are looking the more confident of the two sides now but there is not much time remaining. Will we get a winner or are we headed to a penalty shootout? 

90 mins: There will be five minutes of added time. 

89 mins: GOALLLLLL! Silva equalises for City with a header at the back post! It looks like we're heading to a penalty shootout!

82 mins: GOALLLLL! It's Garnacho once again vs. Man City! He dribbles in from the right onto his left and slots past Ederson. 

80 mins: City make another sub as McAtee is replaced by Silva. 

79 mins: Garnacho lets it rip from distance but it's blocked and out for a corner. United have been the much better side in these last 10-15 minutes. 

75 mins: Another glorious opportunity for United! Fernandes plays a delightful ball to Garnacho who finds Rashford unmarked in the box but the Englishman can't find the back of the net as he hits the post.

54 mins: GOAL! But the linesman has his flag up and it won't count. It would have been a sensational strike from Bruno Fernandes as he perfectly lofted the ball over Ederson. Replays, however, showed he was offside as the ball came to him.  

47 mins: United find their way over the top of City's defence as Fernandes clips a ball for Rashford to chase but his end product isn't quite there and the danger is cleared. 

46 mins: The teams are back out and we're underway for the second half. There are no substations at the interval. 

HT: That's all from the first half as the score remains 0-0. City looked the better side to start the first half but United fought their way back into it and nearly took the lead after a beautiful move by Casemiro and Amad. 

39 mins: There is a break in play as Casemiro is down receiving treatment. He's back on his feet and looks okay to continue. 

31 mins: Ten Hag's side pull off a wonderful move as Casemiro and Amad play a sensational one-two pass in behind City's defence but they try and walk the ball into the net and Mount isn't there to tap home.

29 mins: United have their first real opportunity as Amad breaks free in the box but he can't get a shot on target. 

24 mins: OFF THE POST! City come close as McAtee curls an effort to the far post on his left foot but the woodwork denies him. 

22 mins: City are getting on top here and this time it's Bobb who beats Martinez. The youngster cuts in onto his left foot but blasts an effort high over the bar. 

17 mins: Doku pulls off an outrageous piece of skill to nutmeg Dalot and get in behind for the first time this afternoon but his cross is unable to find Haaland in the box. 

12 mins: It so far has a very "friendly" atmosphere to it, this game. Both teams avoiding any wild challenges or tackles thus far. 

4 mins: It appears as though the United fans are taking this game as seriously as their manager, they've been in fine voice to start the game. Ten Hag said before kickoff: "As I already said, I don't like friendlies. We want to win."

Pep Guardiola has recently welcomed back key players who played in international tournaments over the summer.

With the Premier League opener against Chelsea just over a week away, Kevin De Bruyne, Jeremy Doku, Bernardo Silva, Manuel Akanji, Ruben Dias, Matheus Nunes, and new signing Savinho are yet to feature in any preseason matches.

Early on Saturday, hours before kickoff, it was reported by The Sun that Jack Grealish had picked up an injury and was a doubt perhaps forcing Doku into a start.

United start with Harry Maguire and Jonny Evans at the back with Lisandro Martinez on the left. Casemiro starts in midfield alongside Kobbie Mainoo.

Rasmus Hojlund is out injured and it could be Bruno Fernandes up top with Mason Mount, Marcus Rashford and Amad Diallo behind. 

Man United starting (4-2-3-1, right to left): Onana (GK) — Dalot, Maguire, Evans, Martinez — Casemiro, Mainoo — Mount, Rashford, Amad — Fernandes.
