Manchester City 2 EB Streymur 0 (Man City won 4-0 on aggregate):MANCHESTER CITY reached the second qualifying round - but it was the part-timers from the Faroe Islands who stole the show

Already 2-0 down from the first leg, they were never going to seriously worry the English club, but the visitors fought until the last seconds, their pride certainly intact.

Martin Petrov scored his second goal of the tie early in the second half and Darius Vassell grabbed another in injury-time.

But City made and wasted countless chances as the the part-timers battled deep in defence until they dropped.

City made four changes from the side that comfortably won the first leg in the Faroes. Manager Mark Hughes left out Nedum Onuoha, Stephen Ireland, Dietmar Hamann and the Brazilian Jo, the latter being away at the Olympics.

In came Vedran Corluka, Gelson Fernandes, Elano and Daniel Sturridge.

But City needed to kill off the tie as quickly as possible to end any thoughts of heroics harboured by the islanders.

And inside five minutes several chances went begging. Goalkeeper Rene Torgard was the Faroes' star, with several fine saves.

Whatever Hughes said to his troops at the break, it had an instant impact. Three minutes into the second half, Vassell battled to the line on the right and lifted in a cross that Petrov belted in from 10 yards from the left side of the box.

In injury-time Vassell got around Torgard before sliding in the second.
