Bristol City secured a 1-0 win over Plymouth Argyle thanks to Nahki Wells’ late winner but they were made to sweat at times in hot conditions at Home Park.
League One Plymouth were the most cohesive outfit City have faced so far in pre-season and, at times, the Robins midfield duo of Andy King and Han-Noah Massengo found themselves a little out-manned, forcing pressure on the defence with Dan Bentley called into action on a number of occasions.
City fashioned some half-chances in the opening 45 minutes but while they enjoyed periods of sustained possession, they lacked penetration to break the opposition down.
