Kompany, Aguero on mark in Man City friendly win

Manchester City skipper Vincent Kompany shook off this week's hamstring scare to score in their 2-0 friendly win over Besiktas.

Yaya Toure, Carlos Tevez and Pablo Zabaleta were all part of a strong City side against Turkish opponents who looked dangerous throughout the contest.

Ugur Boral fired over for the Istanbul club before City keeper Costel Pantilimon made an excellent point-blank save from Manuel Fernandes.

But City went ahead when Tevez assisted Sergio Aguero to curl the opener late in the first half.

Kompany added a superb second when the City skipper collected Adam Johnson's through-ball before chipping the Besiktas keeper on the hour mark.
