English Premier League giants Manchester City lost 2-0 to South African side SuperSport United in their Nelson Mandela Football Invitational pre-season friendly in Pretoria on Sunday.
According to sport24, after a goalless first half, Mame Niang and Kermit Erasmus netted in the 56th and
81st minutes respectively, as the Manchester club displayed a lethargic approach.
