90+2' That's it! "Man Utd" celebrates a hard-fought, but deserved victory at Old Trafford stadium. 90' Another penalty shot by Alonso from about twenty meters hits Dietmar Hamann and the ball flies past the goal. '88 Penalty shot at the "Man Utd" goal, but Alonso's pass into the penalty box doesn't reach any Liverpool player and the shot is taken away from the goal. '87 "Liverpool" tries to play through Baros, but Mikael Silvestre defends him excellently. 85' Alan Smith replaces the poorly performing Paul Scholes. 84' "Liverpool" tries to press, but the ball is intercepted by Heinze from Finnan, stopping another guest attack. 82' After Kewell's lift, the ball seems to touch Rio Ferdinand's hand. The Liverpool players appeal to the referee for an eleven-meter penalty, but the referee does not respond to the requests. 80' Alonso passes the ball nicely to Kewell but he appears much slower than Ryan Giggs. 76' Alonso plays very rough against Cristiano Ronaldo and immediately receives a yellow card. These players should not show any malice towards the referee. This was the roughest foul in this match. The Spaniard should be glad he didn't see a red card against himself. 75' "Liverpool" tries to counter-attack again but this time Garcia does not control the ball. He throws it back to Finnan, but the "Man Utd" players are already lined up in defense. 74' "Man Utd" has started to play much calmer after breaking through to the front a second time. Now this team controls the ball more in the center of the field and doesn't rush anywhere. 73' "Liverpool" tries to counter-attack, but this time Milans Baros finds himself on the sidelines. 71' Alonso tries to make crosses from the sides, but Carroll catches all of his crosses. 70' Keane receives a yellow card for a rough foul against Finnan. 67' Milan Baros replaces Djibril Cisse. 66' Silvestre leads "Man Utd" to the front with a goal, after the penalty shot taken by Ryan Giggs. The "Liverpool" defense makes a mistake again and leaves the Frenchman completely free. Silvestre easily beats Jerzy Dudek from about five meters. 64' In a quick attack, Cisse could have been one-on-one with the goalkeeper, but the sideline referee shows that there was an offside. A very controversial referee decision. 63' Keane and Ronaldo together earn a corner, but they fail to use it effectively. 61' Alonso fouls Ronaldo, stopping a quick "Man Utd" attack. 57' Kewell tries to find Cisse but his passes don't reach the French striker. 54' After the penalty shot, Rojas Carroll tries to clear the ball, but hits O'Shea directly. Silvestre tries to clear the ball and it seems to succeed, but the goal is allowed by the referee. Van Nistelrooy tries to argue, but the referee's opinion does not change. 54' O'Shea scores an own goal!!! 50' "Liverpool" earns a corner, but Kewell's cross doesn't cause any problems for the Manchester club. After this collision, Risse remains lying on the grass. It seems he has pulled a thigh muscle. 48' Now Garcia fouls in front of the "Man Utd" goal, trying to fight with Rio Ferdinand. 47' Ronaldo passes the ball from the right side but the guests' defenders clear the ball. 46' Ruud van Nistelrooy fouls in front of the "Liverpool" goal trying to fight for a better position with Sami Hyypia. 45' With Graham Poll's whistle, the second half between "Man Utd" and "Liverpool" begins. And a bit of statistics. "Man Utd" had six shots on goal, with five of them on target. Manchester players committed five fouls and earned as many corners. Meanwhile, "Liverpool" had only two shots on goal, with the ball entering the goal area only once. The Liverpool players committed six fouls, did not earn any corners, and received one yellow card. I will remind you that the 17th player, Josemi Gonzalez, earned it. Thank you to Linas, and I will narrate the second half, Augustinas Pakulis. Thanks for staying with EuroFootball.com on this late but very interesting evening. 45' That's it! The first half ends with a whistle. The result is logical - the team playing much better wins. R.Benitez will have quite a few criticisms for his players. 45' Josemi receives a yellow card for a handball foul. 42' "Man Utd" continues to attack. J.O'Shea's header is caught by J.Dudek. 39' A change in the guests' ranks - instead of the injured goalkeeper Steven Gerrard, another goalkeeper, Dietmar Hamann, enters the field. 37' Ruud van Nistelrooy shot from a distance, but his shot was inaccurate. 32' Two corner kicks near the guests' goal allowed the goalkeeper Jerzy Dudek to get involved in the game and entertain the audience. During the first corner kick, he had to deflect a dangerous header by Gabriel Heinze. 31' Another inaccurate long-range shot from C. Ronaldo. This time quite dangerous. 30' "Liverpool" tries to hold the ball, but they are not successful. "Man Utd" is playing much better today than they did in recent weeks. 29' R. van Nistelrooy's header is caught by J. Dudek. 28' The teams exchange shots from a distance, none of which hit the target. 26' R. Ferdinand manages to block another long-range shot by S. Gerrard. 25' After a long break, "Liverpool" players finally managed to shoot. However, Josemi's shot from 30 meters was off target. 23' The hosts are still worried. C. Ronaldo's shot was blocked by defenders, and R. Giggs' long-range shot was slightly off target. 21' R. Giggs passed the ball to M. Silvestre from the right attacking side, and he sent it into the net from 11 meters. 1-0 leads the hosts. 20' Goal! 19' After a few dangerous "Red Devils" attacks, the game has calmed down a bit. 14' The guests continue to strike. J. O'Shea catches a headed shot by J. Dudek. 12' Another chance for the hosts - this time R. van Nistelrooy's shot from about 11 meters is deflected by goalkeeper J. Dudek. 11' "Man Utd" started the match with a fighting spirit. In the last few minutes, the guests have mostly defended rather than attacked. 10' Excellent shot by C. Ronaldo, saved by the crossbar. 4' The first cross into the penalty box was made by the guests, but the hosts' defender M. Silvestre cleared the ball. 3' As expected, "Man Utd" defender Rio Ferdinand played the first match after disqualification. 1' The match begins. 0' The match will start soon.
