The Sky Blues' Pre-Season preparation continued in Spain after a 3-2 defeat
A strong Valenciennes side took the lead in just the fourth minute, but City responded well to level from the penalty spot ten minutes before half-time, with Marc McNulty scoring his first goal for the club.
Mark Robins made ten changes for the second half, and it was young striker Jordan Ponticelli who scored his first senior goal to put the Sky Blues ahead, smashing the ball into the roof of the net.
Despite the superiority in the second half, the French outfit scored twice in the final fifteen minutes to deny the Sky Blues a second successive victory after the win against Sutton United last week.
