Pep Guardiola won his 18th trophy as Manchester City manager as his side saw off Manchester United in Saturday's Community Shield.
City needed a late equaliser to send the game to penalties, where Manuel Akanji was the hero after Jonny Evans sent his effort flying over the bar.
Here are City's best and worst players from the game according to 90min's player ratings.
Man City's best player vs Man Utd
Oscar Bobb - 8/10
Oscar Bobb has arrived.
It felt like a real breakout performance for the 21-year-old winger, who was on the fringes of the City squad last season. Bobb started the game and tormented United's defence every time he got on the ball, even popping up with the assist for Silva's late equaliser.
Guardiola was thoroughly impressed by Bobb's showing, and it's not hard to see why.
Honourable mention
Rico Lewis - 8/10
Guardiola went youthful for this one, allowing Rico Lewis to strut his stuff from right-back. The teenager was dominant at both ends of the field, shutting out Marcus Rashford in defence before bursting forward to try and make something happen.
A composed performance from Lewis, who continues to look like a worthy heir to Kyle Walker's throne.
Man City's worst player vs Man Utd
Josko Gvardiol - 5/10
Most of United's best moments came down their right side, where Amad Diallo had plenty of joy up against Josko Gvardiol.
The Croatian didn't always look comfortable and failed to provide the attacking spark with which he ended last season.
