00:00Failed in that shootout. Irreliable to take one today.
00:03Manchester United beat Arsenal 4-3 in a post-match practice penalty shootout on their US tour.
00:09They'd actually lost the match.
00:11And their only penalty shootout last season actually came in the FA Cup semi-final against Coventry City here.
00:17It was a penalty shootout that they won by four goals to two with Dalot, Ericsson and Hoyland
00:25converting their spot kicks along with this man,
00:27Bruno Fernandes, who will be first up as he takes on the Brazilian goalkeeper, Ederson.
00:46Very confident, wasn't it?
00:48Difficult to see from this angle.
00:51I think he just gives them the eyes a little bit, doesn't he?
00:54Ericsson clearly going the wrong way, he side puts it into the corner.
00:57Comfortable and good start for United.
01:00You fancied him though, didn't you, really?
01:03Bernardo Silva was the only Manchester City player who scored in last year's Community Shield shootout against Arsenal.
01:14And he is first up for Manchester City.
01:17Andre Anana with a few antics in the goal.
01:24Nice to level it.
01:26And it's saved by Anana.
01:30Advantage Manchester United.
01:35Yeah, it wasn't a good penalty, was it?
01:39Didn't seem any conviction at all.
01:42In fact, there's no conviction, anything but...
01:45The goalkeeper goes the right way, you fancy him to save that every day of the week.
01:49No pace on it, no real direction on it.
01:54There's actually a slackness about the penalty, to be brutally honest with you,
01:57from the man that gave City the equaliser and the opportunity for the game to go to penalties.
02:02Really poor for his standards.
02:06Diego Dalo, who scored in the FA Cup semi-final shootout against Coventry City,
02:10steps up again for United to make it 2-0.
02:14And just about does.
02:16It's squeezed off the gloves of Ederson.
02:18Yeah, but the difference with that penalty is the conviction, sir.
02:21That's the difference.
02:23Goalkeeper goes the right way.
02:26But it's power.
02:29You can say what you like, he gets a hand to it, but the ball ends up in the back of the net
02:33and that's down to the way the penalty is taken with conviction.
02:41Kevin De Bruyne hit the crossbar in the Community Shield shootout last season.
02:48He's only been on the pitch for a matter of moments.
02:53Andre Anada once again trying to put him off.
02:57But the Belgian will not be deterred, and City are on the scoreboard.
03:04Very comfortable, isn't it?
03:06Again.
03:09Just a little stutter in the run-up.
03:13Goalkeeper goes the wrong way, side-foots it.
03:15To his left-hand side, goal is left-hand side.
03:17Well, the man who scored Manchester United's goal in regulation time.
03:28It's their next penalty taker, Alejandro Garnaccio.
03:33Up against Ederson.
03:39Garnaccio scores.
03:433-1 Manchester United.
03:47Takes his penalty the way he plays, doesn't he?
03:50Confident, aggressive.
03:53Flips it back across.
03:57Goalkeeper goes the right way, does well to save that, I'll tell you.
04:00Because of the pace and the way it's curling away from a diving goalkeeper.
04:05But wonderful penalty.
04:07Has put a bit of pressure on Harland.
04:10Yes, of course it does.
04:12Failing to score at this juncture with hand, Manchester United the chance to score.
04:16Manchester United the chance to win the shield with their next kick.
04:22He's a consummate penalty taker.
04:26A man usually entrusted with the ball whenever Manchester City get one in the Premier League.
04:34Slight concern.
04:35It doesn't look like he is, though.
04:37Even if it's an X on the face of his manager.
04:41Erling Harland against Anana.
04:43No problem.
04:45I think he quite enjoyed that.
04:50Certainly doesn't faze him at all, does it?
04:54Goalkeeper is in a wind-up, isn't he?
04:56Had him hitting that.
05:04The attempted mind game certainly didn't affect him there, did it?
05:08Big moment for Jadon Sancho.
05:10His last experience taking a penalty at that end of the ground.
05:15At Wembley.
05:16Went a bit in the European Championship final in 2021 for England.
05:21And fell from the spot on that occasion.
05:23He will be hoping to hook Manchester United into a really good position.
05:29And can't.
05:31Ederson got enough on it.
05:34It hit the inside of the post.
05:36And Sancho is denied.
05:40Looks like it's here, doesn't it?
05:45That is a good save.
05:46I thought it made a good height for the goalkeeper.
05:48But he gets a right hand up very well.
05:50It's a strong hand.
05:51The key to the save is the strength in his right hand.
05:55It's not a powerful hand.
05:57It hits his arm and he's handing it into the back of the net.
06:00It's a strong hand that hits the post and stays out.
06:02Great save.
06:05Well, a chance for Savino.
06:06The new signing to level the scoreline on penalty kicks.
06:15Savino against Hernandez.
06:17It's perfect.
06:22And City will feel that maybe the momentum has shifted now.
06:26It's sudden death now, isn't it?
06:32Good composed finish as well.
06:33Opens his body up.
06:35Side foot from the far corner.
06:37Casemiro next up.
06:40Casemiro the Brazilian.
06:45He needs to score this.
06:47Every one counts now.
06:50We're basically into an early sudden death shootout.
06:57Two Brazilians.
06:58Who comes out on top?
07:00Casemiro.
07:05Again, very composed.
07:09It's not in the corner, I don't think.
07:11Pretty central.
07:12That said, the most important thing from his point of view is it's on target.
07:16The goalkeeper goes the other way.
07:18You know who's next, don't you?
07:21Ederson.
07:23The Manchester City goalkeeper.
07:26To take the fifth penalty.
07:28He has to score.
07:30Can he beat his opposite number?
07:34It's Ederson.
07:36It's beautiful.
07:39He's done that before.
07:40Oh, I can't get enough of that.
07:42I think there's a wee delay as well.
07:44Watch.
07:45Oh, there you are.
07:46Yes.
07:48Oh, that was brilliant.
07:50Very good.
07:54And they're giving us value for money.
07:55They certainly are.
07:58Scott McTominay.
07:59Steps up for Eric Ten Haag and his team.
08:06A regular goal scorer last season.
08:09And on target in the shooter.
08:13Again, good pace.
08:14Back across himself.
08:15Goalkeeper goes the right way.
08:16You hit it hard enough.
08:17You hit it firm enough.
08:19You've got every chance.
08:20That's exactly the way he takes it.
08:22Whips it back across himself.
08:24Coming away from the goalkeeper.
08:26Very difficult to save that.
08:29Matthias Nunez.
08:31Leaked in the summer with a move to Saudi Arabia, which hasn't come off.
08:36In the second half, substitute.
08:39We've just about reached the stage where only the ones that don't really fancy it.
08:45And I don't mean that.
08:46I'm not necessarily sure.
08:47There's too many of those nowadays.
08:49But Matthias Nunez certainly wasn't one of the first five.
08:53He has to score.
08:56And he does.
08:57Oh, what a pen.
08:58And in some style too.
09:03Ain't nobody saving that, let me tell you.
09:09Oh, I love that.
09:10Look at that.
09:14Well, the nerves are jangling now.
09:17And all of a sudden, fingernails all over Wembley and beyond are being bitten.
09:25And Alessandro Martinez is the next up for Manchester United.
09:34It's their seventh penalty.
09:35And he's scored two.
09:40There's some high-quality kicks going on.
09:41There is.
09:42I'll tell you there is.
09:43I was happy with it.
09:44And there's a wee delay again.
09:45Just a little skip.
09:47Right in the corner.
09:49Well executed.
09:50Great pen.
09:51Well done.
09:54And now it falls on the shoulders of the captain of Manchester City for today, Ruben Diaz.
10:01Pep Guardiola scores.
10:02Ruben Diaz.
10:04Pep Guardiola stares at the ground.
10:06I don't think he finds these moments particularly comfortable.
10:12And Diaz knows his duty.
10:16Score.
10:17And the trophy is Manchester United's.
10:20They're still alive.
10:22Another calm and composed Manchester City penalty.
10:25It takes it well.
10:27The goalkeeper goes far too early, I know for me.
10:29But take nothing away from Diaz.
10:32He strokes it.
10:34Into the bottom left-hand corner.
10:35Jonny Evans up next.
10:37Well, he featured heavily in pre-season after signing another short-term deal.
10:41It's his fourth Community Shield with Manchester United.
10:4836 years of age.
10:49The Northern Ireland international.
10:52An unservant of the club.
10:54Takes Manchester United's eighth penalty.
11:02Evans for United.
11:04Over the bar.
11:09Didn't really look confident.
11:11Went to go down the middle.
11:13But went over the top.
11:15You can just see his body shape.
11:17He's leaning back, isn't he?
11:20Clearly the one thing you can't do when you're taking a penalty.
11:27You've got to hit the target.
11:29That's rule number one when you're taking a penalty.
11:30You hit the target.
11:32Jonny, unfortunately, there leaning back.
11:34Putting it high.
11:36Akanji, a chance to win it now, Sam?
11:38Well, he did miss his most recent penalty.
11:41Against England at the European Championships.
11:44But he has a chance to put that behind him now.
11:47And win the Community Shield for Manchester City.
11:50Akanji against Inanna.
11:52Akanji wins it for Manchester City.
11:56Who start the season well.
11:59Who start the season as they mean to go on.
12:04They win the Community Shield for the first time in six years.
12:10It might not have been perfect.
12:12But they got over the line in the end.
