FC Midtjylland 0 Man City 1(City win 4-2 on pens): Manchester City had goalkeeper Joe Hart to thank as they progressed to the Uefa Cup proper with a penalty shoot-out victory over FC Midtjylland.

Having lost 1-0 in the first leg at Eastlands earlier this month, City knew the size of the task ahead in their second qualifying round return leg at the SAS Arena in Herning.

But after an abject display in normal time it was only an own goal by defender Danny Califf in the 89th minute which forced extra-time and extended their interest in the competition.

And when Hart saved two penalties, it was left to Vedran Corluka to stroke home the kick to spare City's blushes.
