Mahrez penalty saved as Manchester City held by Borussia Dortmund

Of course Manchester City came to win.It's just that, if they had really needed to, you sensed they would probably have found a way.A draw here suited both teams fine, with City already qualified for the last 16 and Borussia Dortmund needing just a point.And for all the brief flurries of drama, including a missed penalty in the second half by Riyad Mahrez, this was ultimately a match of narrowed ambitions and thwarted plans: a learning experience rather than a red-hot contest.
