Africa-Press<\/a> – Zimbabwe<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Leicester City beat Manchester City 1-0 on Saturday night to lift the Community Shield at Wembley.<\/p>\n

Substitute Kelechi Iheanacho scored a late penalty as last season\u2019s FA Cup winners beat the Premier League champions.<\/p>\n

The match looked to be heading for penalties, but Iheanacho struck from the spot into the top corner with a minute remaining after being tripped by Nathan Ake.<\/p>\n

City\u2019s record \u00a3100m signing Jack Grealish was given his debut on 65 minutes, but he could not muster a clear-cut opportunity for a much-changed team.<\/p>\n

Ilkay Gundogan saw an arrowed free-kick superbly tipped over the crossbar by Kasper Schmeichel and the German midfielder also blazed over a first-time effort from about 10 metres out.<\/p>\n

Striker Jamie Vardy was bright for Leicester but could not find a way past City goalkeeper Zack Steffen, who made a marvellous reaction save to deny the Englishman.<\/p>\n

Last night\u2019s Community Shield (formerly Charity Shield, renamed in 2002) match marked exactly 50 years since Leicester City\u2019s victory in the traditional pre-season curtain-raiser when they beat Liverpool 1-0.<\/p>\n

Manchester City were, therefore, favourites to win the cup.<\/p>\n

Manchester City were, however, without Kevin De Bruyne, Phil Foden, Ederson and Sterling who were some of the regulars for the Cityzens last season.<\/p>\n
