Manchester City FC

Manchester City Women's finished off their pre-season preperations with a 1-1 draw with Liverpool in a behind-closed doors friendly at the Academy Stadium.

Kick-off will be at 19:00 (UK). [Julie Blakstad](https://www.mancity.com/players/julie-blakstad) played Castellanos through on goal, beating the offside trap but the Venezuelan striker couldn't grab her second goal of the game, dragging a left-footed shot wide. [Mary Fowler](https://www.mancity.com/players/mary-fowler) found space on the left-hand side, picking out Angeldahl at the back post but the midfielder directed her header wide of the post. [Gareth Taylor](https://www.mancity.com/players/gareth-taylor)'s side continued to be on top and came close to an eye-catching leveler when [Laura Coombs](https://www.mancity.com/players/laura-coombs) picked up the ball from deep, striding forwards before taking a long-range strike at goal that forced Laws into a good save. [Deyna Castellanos](https://www.mancity.com/players/deyna-castellanos) tapped in a rebound after seeing her penalty saved, and we were in control for much of the game as we looked to round off pre-season with a win. But Liverpool equalised in the closing stages, with Emma Koivisto heading home a corner to deny us the win and see us share the spoils with the Reds.
