This "clash of the giants" has been highly anticipated even before the match kicks-off. According to a poll which was announced earlier before the match on Sports Center ESPN, Man.U has a slightly high percentage(55.6%) of winning this match, compared to Chelsea, with(44.4%). And, The results proved that.
The song of victory was composed by Man.U Cristiano Ronaldo at the 26' minutes. A nice, perfectly-timed cross by Paul Scholes from the right, into the penalty box, and the unmarked C.Ronaldo leaped high and did a well-practiced and skillful header. This left the stunned Petr Cech, doing nothing and just barely staring at the ball to roll into the net.
And, there are severals nice teamworks from Man.U, where they created numerous scoring opportunity. There was one when Rooney made a long-cross almost from the mid-field to C.Ronaldo, which was just outside the opponent's penalty box. This was extraordinarily superb.
Then, at the 45' minutes, Chelsea finally saw a glint of hope, when Frank Lampard scored the equalising goal. The ball shot by Didier Drogba(if i m not mistaken), hit Brown and Ferdinand, and bounced to an unmarked Lampard, and he made it.
The scores went on to a 1-1 tie.
Avram Grant commiserates with his skipper.
After the 90-minutes game, with an extra time given, here comes the exciting penalty shootout. Ironically, the person who scored the opening goal of the match, missed the penalty. While for Chelsea, this was really not their day. John Terry was able to tricked Van de Sar to the right, while he shot to the left, but the ball didn't go into the net, but instead hit the post. For N.Anelka, Van de Sar once again proved his goalkeeping skill and managed to catch the ball. The match has a result. It's 6-5.
Congratulations, Red Devils!
