Half-Time Report: Olympiacos holding Manchester City at the break

Dimitris Diamantakos cancels out Stevan Jovetic's opener to send Manchester City and Olympiacos into the break at 1-1 in their International Champions Cup group match.

Manchester City are being held 1-1 by Greek side Olympiacos at the halfway point of their International Champions Cup group match in the US.

The Greek side had the ball in the net in the opening stages as Alejandro Dominguez exchanged passes with Javier Saviola before curling an effort beyond Joe Hart, but the goal was ruled out for offside.

City were swift to respond, coming close to breaking the deadlock themselves in the seventh minute when Samir Nasri collected a lofted pass from Yaya Toure and dragged a shot wide of the post.

Toure came agonisingly close to getting his name on the scoresheet in the 27th minute, latching onto a pass from Stevan Jovetic before narrowly missing the target with a 30-yard rocket.

The Premier League champions were ahead eight minutes later as Jovetic surged into the penalty area and beat Roberto Jimenez in the Olympiacos goal from a tight angle.

However, City were hit by a suckerpunch moments after taking the lead, Dimitris Diamantakos catching their defence napping and rifling an effort past Hart to send the teams into the break level.
