Juventus 1-0 Manchester City: Mandzukic seals qualification as Juve leapfrogs City

Mario Mandzukic scored the only goal as Juventus beat Manchester City to qualify for the last 16 of the Champions League.

Juventus joined Manchester City in the knockout stages of the Champions League thanks to a 1-0 home victory over its Group D rival on Wednesday.

Mario Mandzukic got the Italian champion's first goal when it came from behind to secure a 2-1 win in Manchester on matchday one, and the Croatia striker's 18th-minute strike was enough to seal the points this time around.

Having made sure of its own last-16 berth with a superb 3-1 win at Sevilla in their previous game, City manager Manuel Pellegrini urged his team to grab top spot with victory in Turin.
