Manchester City 1-0 Dynamo Kiev – Match Highlights

Mario Balotelli saw red as 10-man Manchester City crashed out of the Europa League despite a 1-0 win over Dynamo Kiev in the last-16 second leg at Eastlands.

It was a key reason why Roberto Mancini’s side lost 2-1 on aggregate after a 2-0 defeat in the first leg in Kiev a week ago.

Balotelli pressed a boot into the chest of Popov before his foot caught the thigh of the Kiev defender as the visiting player went to ground.
