Last move of the match. Defensive City free-kick which Hart will pump towards all of his colleagues in the Ajax box. It's headed down by Dzeko and Balotelli has it with back to goal! Is that a shirt pull? Referee takes a long glance... but blows for full-time rather than a penalty! Van Rhijn was pretty clearly tugging on his shirt looking at the replays but it has ended 2-2 at the Etihad!

The Ajax corner, bane of City's existence in the first half, flashes past the crowded box and to the feet of Fischer whose shot is so wide it goes out for a throw... Boerrigter is replaced by Tobias Sana in the final sub of the match.
