8 minute mark: Eagles is called for pushing a defender which ends a breakaway.. Djemba is angry at the call.. he argues.. yellow card for Djemba.

10 minute mark: Eagles passes to Rooney.. he puts a move on two defenders.. gets open in the box.. dribbles to his right.. around the keeper.. he seems to have an open shot.. shoots.. the keeper dives back.. punches it over the bar.

12 minute mark: McFadden steals it at midfield.. passes it to Rooney in the box.. he shoots.. barely wide left.

22 minute mark: Fletcher passes to Djemba just outside the box.. he unleashes a hard curving shot.. the keeper dives.. barely pushes it wide right. corner kick awarded. Downing kicks it to Lucio in the middle of the box.. he heads it to Rooney who shoots.. wide left!

32 minute mark: Amoah passes it into the box to Beattie.. Beattie puts a great crossover dribble on Lucio to give himself space.. shoots.. upper right corner.. it's past Howard.. GOAL. Down 1-0.

40 minute mark: Eagles passes to Rooney in the right corner of the pitch.. he crosses to Djemba just outside the box.. hard curving shot.. great save by the keeper.

45 minute mark: Downing puts a move on two defenders.. passes to Eagles.. he passes back to Fletcher.. Fletcher passes to Downing in the box.. he shoots.. hard shot.. towards the right corner.. it hits the post and bounces wide.

50 minute mark: Downing steals it at midfield.. burns his man.. crosses to Rooney.. he heads it.. the keeper punches it away.. Djemba gets it.. hard shot.. the keeper saves it cleanly.

61 minute mark: Mcfadden crosses to Rooney.. who heads it.. over the bar. Rooney only has a 6 and is tired, I sub in King for him. Fletcher is also tired, so I sub in Cook.

72 minute mark: Downing gets a yellow card for holding Preub's jersey.

81 minute mark: Downing crosses long to Eagles just inside the right edge of the box.. he passes immediately to King just in front of the goal.. King gets it.. shoots.. upper left corner.. GOAL!!!! 2-1! That is King's first goal for Manchester United!
