Manchester United 4 - Kiev 0
MANCHESTER United qualified for the Champions League knockout phase after a easy victory over Dynamo Kiev at Old Trafford.
It took United’s rampant recent run to 22 goals in six games, an amazing streak which surely marks them out as one of the tournament favourites.
Cristiano Ronaldo belted one long-range free-kick into the visitors’ wall and Nemanja Vidic headed wide but the most notable aspect of United’s play during the first half was a succession of badly-taken corners by Nani, who failed to beat the first near-post defender on three separate occasions. But it was all United after that, the first goal came a Ronaldo free-kick that floated into the Kiev box, Michael Carrick’s header cannoned into Tevez but the ball looped up kindly for Pique to convert his first United goal.
Carlos Tevez scored the second, after a 35-yard driving run, Tevez flicked a pass to Rooney, who instantly returned the compliment. Suddenly, Tevez was in the clear and equally quickly, his shot was whistling in, his first European goal for the club.
It was Rooney who provided the slide rule pass which should have seen Tevez grab his second. This time though, the former Boca Juniors man delayed too long and allowed El Kaddouri to slide in and rob him. However, when Nani arced over a cross from the right near the end, Rooney had an easy tap in for Uniteds third
Then the ball of day was released by Evra to Ronaldo who finished off in some style to complete the rout.
