Geronimo Rulli Shines in Penalty Shootout as Man City Advances

Geronimo Rulli played a crucial role in Manchester City's advancement in the Carabao Cup, saving two penalties against Brighton after the match ended in a 2-2 draw. His performance included a remarkable fingertip save to deny Georginio Rutter in the second half.

Rulli, who returned to City from Marseille for £1.7 million, showcased his skills as a backup to Gianluigi Donnarumma, who has faced scrutiny for his recent form. Despite Rulli's heroics, manager Enzo Maresca confirmed that Donnarumma remains the team's first-choice goalkeeper.

The match saw City come back from two goals down, with Mateo Kovacic and Vitor Reis scoring to level the game. City will face Bradford in the quarter-finals, continuing their pursuit to retain the trophy.
