Manchester City Wins 2024 Community Shield

Manchester City triumphed over Manchester United in the 2024 Community Shield, winning 7-6 on penalties after a 1-1 draw in regular time. United initially took the lead in the second half with a goal from Alejandro Garnacho, but City equalized just before the final whistle through Bernardo Silva. The match, which featured a lackluster first half with no shots on target, saw both teams improve in the second half, leading to dramatic late goals. In the penalty shootout, both teams had missed opportunities, but Jonny Evans' crucial miss sealed the victory for City, marking their first Community Shield win in five years. This match highlights a trend, as five of the last eight Community Shields have been decided by penalties.
