his time, Manuel Akanji made no mistake from the penalty spot.

After a 1-1 draw, Manchester City beat Manchester United 7-6 in a penalty shootout to win the Community Shield at Wembley Stadium on Saturday, with Akanji scoring the clinching penalty.

The Switzerland defender had different emotions after his last shootout - at the European Championship last month when he was the only player to not convert a penalty kick in a loss to England in the quarterfinals.

City ended a run of three straight losses in the traditional curtain-raiser to the English soccer season, between the winners of last season's Premier League (City) and FA Cup (United).

And it goes some way to avenging the loss to United in the FA Cup final 77 days ago.
