Enzo Maresca suffered defeat in his opening match as Manchester City manager after Inter Milan claimed victory on penalties following a 1-1 draw in a pre-season friendly played in Hong Kong.

The two sides could not be separated after 90 minutes, with the scoreline level at 1-1 at full time. Inter Milan then prevailed in the penalty shootout to hand Maresca his first loss at the helm of City.

The result, while carrying no competitive weight, marks a testing start for Maresca as he begins the demanding task of leading Manchester City following the departure of Pep Guardiola's era at the club.
