Manchester United - Benfica -game worth watching

Another great game of two great teams. In this game you could see everything what football is made from: passes, driblings, assists, shots and of course goals. Since the match started Benfica took control of the ball, and lead 1-0 after own goal of one of the Manchester United backs, Jones in the 3rd minute of the match.

Benfica still had good chances, and then Berbatov (lonely striker in this game) scored a goal after 4 offsides traps which were made by Benfica players. And then counter-attacks for a heart-attack . Firtly just 30 seconds after this United had an opportunity to score another goal. One Manchester player was one-on-one with a goalkeeper and had 100% chance, but the ball hit the goalkeeper. Then back of the Benfica shots the ball far away from a goal and Benfica now had similar chance, however this had finished the same, without goal.

They went on a break with a result 1-1. In the second half the same story, the only difference is that now Manchester scored a goal first.

So the final result was 2-2. Benfica is thrilled with this result because they play in the next round with O.Galati who has no points, so that should be an easy job, whereas Manchester is going to Basel where both teams will go in the knockout-round if they win. This will be very interesting...
