Chapter 315 Double stars shine
2:0, Manchester United firmly grasped the initiative.
Manchester United has never lost when he led two goals this season, let alone at home now.
"In fact, Benfica has performed well in the European competition in the past two years. They rarely lost more than two goals on the road, but today they have obviously fallen in Old Trafford. Portuguese Ronaldo personally sent his own team into the abyss of death."
"I believe that the Portuguese fans sitting in front of the TV must be in a complicated mood. On one side is the national team and on the other side is Cristiano Ronaldo."
At the end of the half, Manchester United fans in the stands were very excited and shouted Ronaldo's name.
Ferguson almost walked back to the locker room humming, but it didn't mean he was very satisfied with everyone. Although Smith had an assist, his performance was only considered unsatisfactory.
In the second half, he asked Park Ji-sung to warm up off the court, but he didn't change it immediately, probably putting pressure on Smith. Of course, Giggs was the same. In the first half, the left side formed by him and Smith were too quiet, and Manchester United's offense was concentrated on this side of Ronaldo. It was obvious that they did not do enough.
At the beginning of the second half, Benfica significantly strengthened the offense and they pressed very much. In the 48th minute, Siman and Mikoli cooperated, and the latter passed the ball and shot to Beto's feet, but Beto's shot missed in the penalty area.
"The Italian's feet are very delicate, he is Benfica's most threatening player."
"You need to limit the ball."
In the 53rd minute, Van der Sar received a pass from Basley's foot, and Benfica's player immediately surrounded the referee, thinking that this should be an indirect free kick in the penalty area. However, the referee ignored it and believed that this was not a intentional return pass, so there was no penalty.
Benfica coach Carman also ran to the fourth official to complain.
"In fact, the referee's penalty was not wrong in this ball. It was just that Benfica's players were putting pressure on the referee, and there was no problem with the penalty."
The game resumed after nearly half a minute of protest. Ferdinand quickly handed the ball to Fletcher, who made a pass to Ronaldo.
Ronaldo dribbled the ball forward with a fake kickback, easily getting rid of Leon's defense. When he cut in the middle, no one could keep up with his foot frequency. Dong Fangzhuo quickly dragged two central defenders into the middle, which created space for Ronaldo's shooting. Ronaldo did not hesitate to shoot vigorously at 22 meters in front of the goal, but unfortunately the ball still missed the goal.
"C Ronaldo is in a very strong state today, and he is thinking about entering another one!"
Benfica's players could no longer bear it. In the 56th minute, the national teammate Ximang refused to recognize him and directly tackled Ronaldo over the other side. This also caused chaos among the players on both sides, and Ximang also received a yellow card.
The referee had just separated the people from both sides. In the 57th minute, Louisson violated Van der Sar while fighting for the header and was also warned by a yellow card.
In the 59th minute, Smith violated Mikoli and was warned by a yellow card.
Within just a few minutes, yellow cards flew everywhere and the scene became very tense.
In the 60th minute, Smith violated Mikoli again, hooked the latter from the side, and gave Benfica a free kick 22 meters away from the goal. However, the referee showed mercy and did not show Smith any more yellow cards.
But Ferguson chewed gum off the field, and his heart beat faster and immediately replaced Park Ji-sung with some impulsive Smith.
"Smith really used himself as a midfielder. Such a rough foul is completely unnecessary. Fortunately, the referee didn't give him any more cards, otherwise he could go to the stands to chat with Rooney."
Ximang stood in front of Piqiu and took a deep breath twice. After running, he kicked a wonderful arc in the instep of his right foot.
Leaf balls!
The ball is hung directly at the nearest corner.
Benfica scored 1 to 2!
"Is today a Portuguese festival? Ronaldo and Siman both scored a free kick."
"Luckily, Manchester United still leads, otherwise Smith would really become a sinner."
"Manchester United can't be careless, it's not enough to just lead one goal. Never be equalized..."
Ferguson's mouth chewed faster...
Equalifying? Manchester United cannot leave room for Benfica to attack. Ferguson waved on the sidelines and instructed the team to strengthen the offense.
In the 64th minute, Fletcher was pushed out from the right cross. Ronaldo, who had already rushed to the middle, stopped the ball from his chest, and his right foot shot was swung by Benfica's goalkeeper. The ball hit the near post and bounced out of the baseline!
Scholes immediately took a corner kick from the right, and Fletcher shot over the crossbar 20 meters in front of the goal.
Old Trafford fans made huge noises to encourage the team to strengthen their offense.
“Good.”
"come on."
"Continue to press them and beat them!"
In the 72nd minute, right back Basley inserted into the right cross and made a cross from the right. A half-high ball flew to the back point strangely. Scholes's shot from the back post was a slight difference. Scox didn't believe that he could throw the ball away...
But Manchester United did not stop the offensive step, and victory was waving to them. They continued to attack in one go, not giving Benfica a chance to breathe.
In the 85th minute, Ronaldo broke through again on the right side and made a corner kick, and he quickly rushed into Benfica's penalty area.
"Manchester United's offensive is very strong, and it seems that they are like they are behind the score, not leading the score. Benfica was suppressed tightly in the half."
Scholes took a corner kick from the right. This time, the ball sent by Scholes flew to the front point. Dong Fangzhuo got rid of Louis Song in the middle and rushed over. Before the opponent posted it again, he headed the ball on the corner of the small penalty area!
But the position of her head was not very good, and the ball bounced to the back point!
C Luo pushed his right foot into the empty door 2 meters in front of the door...
“gooal!”
“gooooooooooal!”
“gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool!”
"Cristiano Ronaldo! Hat trick!"
"No one can stop him from scoring. He scored three goals in this game and sent his country's team home with his own hands. He is extremely brave and unstoppable! He has performed phenomenally in two consecutive games."
Manchester United leads 3-1 with this goal!
"Although China Dong stopped scoring goals, he gave two assists in this game, and he and Ronaldo complemented each other to ensure Manchester United's victory."
"Although Benfica played very tenaciously, she eventually fell at the feet of the Gemini. Yes, when Rooney was sitting in the stands, Chinese Dong and Ronaldo made the fans forget Rooney for the time being. Without Rooney, Manchester United would still easily win the game."
The game ended with a 3:1 result. After Manchester United won Benfica, they successfully jumped to the top of the group...
Manchester United has returned to the track of victory, and the fans have finally found their happiness again...
