Thanks for tuning in!

Well, that's it! 

The first pre-season game is done, it's always good to get a win under the belt and boost the confidence.

Plenty of fresh faces and returning faces and it seemed like the team really began to gel near the end of full-time which is exciting to think about. 

We will be back on Sunday morning for the Perth International Cup final, see you then! 💙

UP NEXT...

Well, we don't know just yet.

West Ham and Paris Saint-Germain will go head-to-head tomorrow.

The winner of that clash will be the team that City play on Sunday morning, at 10:05 (UK).

And that game will be available to watch live on CITY+.

Shout-out to the young talent!

O'Carroll, Thomas and Lewis - all Academy talent - had great performances against senior players. 

Well played, girls!

And breathe! 😅

What an intense end to City's first pre-season game. 

Yamashita was arguably the player of the match for us today. Phenomenal second-half saves to deny Leicester the lead and then two penalty saves helped City on our way to a shoot-out win over Leicester.
