3 minute mark: Brown crosses to Adriano in the box.. he heads it in.. GOAL.. Oh no! Adriano is judged to have unfairly jumped with the centreback. The goal is waved off. Stevanovic is arguing with the ref.. it's my least favorite ref again.. yellow card for Stevanovic.

7 minute mark: Luke Young tackled Djemba in the box.. penalty! Saha steps up to take the shot.. drills it into the right side of the net! GOAL!!!! 1-0. That is Saha's 100 career goal for Manchester United.

33 minute mark: Duff dribbles it down the left sideline.. passes to Saha who passes back to him.. he is at the left corner of the box.. he crosses it to the far post.. Adriano heads it.. sharp angle.. upper left corner.. it's past the keeper! GOAL!!!! 2-0.

36 minute mark: Saha gets the ball crosses it to the far post.. Adriano heads it.. the keeper barely punches it over the bar.

43 minute mark: Duff crosses to the near post.. Where Adriano has run up.. hits it with a diving header.. into the upper left corner! GOAL!!!! 3-0. That is Adriano's 10th goal of the year!


Halftime: 3-0 lead.


63 minute mark: Eagles crosses for Adriano.. he leaps.. the keeper leaps.. the keeper pushes him! Penalty shot awarded! Stevanovic steps up.. shoots.. left side of the net.. the keeper blocks it.. Duff gets the rebound.. shoots.. the keeper punches it over the bar.

I pull Duff for Alfonso (to rest Duff) and Saha for King (to get King experience.)

78 minute mark: Alfonso crosses to Adriano.. hard shot.. upper left corner.. the keeper barely tips it over the bar.

81 minute mark: Alfonso passes to King who crosses to Adriano by the far post.. he heads it.. the keeper blocks it.
