Champions League
After the dismal draw against Aston Villa on the weekend, the Red Machine travelled to Spain for a Champions League match.
The first half was close and tight affair with only two or three chances, the best came from Anderson on the left sending a beautiful ball into the middle, where Rooney brought it down and set it up for Ronaldo on the thirty five, his shot just tipped on to the crossbar by the struggling Villareal keeper. Then a couple of minutes later Ronaldos freekick was easily pushed away for a corner.
Into the second and its Ronaldo again, as his shot is batted back to Rooney who can't convert. On the hour and there is two more chances for United, with Anderson pushing it wide and then Rooney gets thru but fails to chip the keeper.
Then Vila pick up the pace and a ball passes across the United box just out of reach of the two Vila strikers. The atmosphere changes as the news that Celtic have scored in the other group match, a draw here would have been enough for both teams to go thru, but if Celtic win and United grab a goal then it all changes for Vila.
In the seventieth minute and there is a small cheer as Aalborg levels against Celtic.
Ten minutes later and its Rooney who gets by his defender and passes the ball into the box, but a defender gets a deflection and it nearly goes in for an own goal.
With five minutes to go Tevez finally gets on the field, I still think Fergie is treating Carlos very poorly after all the little dynamo has done for this team.
The game peters out as Celtic concede another and both United and Vila know they are going thru to the next round.
