There was little glamor about the game at the Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane, South Africa today as Manchester City were defeated 2-0.
Carlos Tevez and Roque Santa Cruz did not even make the squad and Gareth Barry was an unused substitute as the South Africans overcame Mark Hughes’ side.
Lucas Thwala and Phenyo Mogale were on the score sheet for the Pirates in a game that was quite evenly contested.
City’s next game is against the Kaiser Chiefs on Tuesday.
