The away team Manchester United kicked off the first half.

Because he was accidentally tied by Basel in the last game, Manchester United dared not be careless in this game and attacked fiercely at the beginning, hoping to open up the situation quickly and prevent a bottom team like Galaz from showing confidence.

Galaz won the Romanian League championship for the first time last season. This game has been the most eye-catching game in the 47 years since the club was established. Because their home court did not meet the requirements of UEFA, the game was changed to Bucharest, about 220 kilometers away from their home court. However, this did not dispel the enthusiasm of Galaz fans to watch the game. Except for less than a thousand Manchester United fans, the rest of the entire Bucharest National Stadium was filled with Galaz fans.

Facing the triple-winning Manchester United, Galaz does not want to surrender without a fight, as their defender captain Costin said, "Although we may win very little, we cannot lose too badly and become a laughing stock in football."

After the start of the game, Galaz firmly defended the midfield and actively fought to prevent any Manchester United player from making passes, stops, controls, and leads.

Manchester United are strong and have a very determined desire to win. Even if Galaz Steel resists tenaciously, they still have full control of the ball.

In the third minute of the game, Gao Xiaodong broke through in the frontcourt and suddenly pulled his feet and shot coldly at 35 meters. However, goalkeeper Grachovac was focused and flew to save the ball.

In the 8th minute of the game, Gao Xiaodong passed the ball in the middle, and Nani directly shot from outside the penalty area on the left rib. However, the ball was low in arc, slow in speed, and no threat, and was directly confiscated by Galaz goalkeeper.

Manchester United didn't take the opponent seriously, and the players' full attention was on the offense. As a result, in the 11th minute, Galaz's player suddenly pressed. Vidic, who returned from injury, made a mistake in passing the ball in the backcourt. Galaz forward Punoschevac grabbed the ball and shot hard at the top of the penalty area.

However, with Smalling and Anderson's full strength back grabbing, Punoschevac was unable to make full efforts and the ball was easily obtained by Lindegaard.

Lindegaard threw the ball to Evra, who dribbled the ball and quickly passed through the midfield.

The ball was passed to Gao Xiaodong, Gao Xiaodong and Evra, and Rooney cooperated continuously. Finally, Evra cut across from the penalty area and shot with his left foot.

Evra's kick was very powerful, but without suppressing it, the ball flew directly into the stands.

Manchester United's offense was very good in the frontcourt, but there were many loopholes in the backcourt.

In the 18th minute of the game, Fabio dribbled the ball and assisted. Galaz forward Frenzer intercepted in the middle. Fabio was a bit arrogant and wanted to pass Frenzer, but Frenzer intercepted the ball from under his feet.

Frenze decisively passed the ball to the direct striker Punoshevac. Punoshevac shot low with his right foot 25 meters away from the goal, but the ball was soft and weak, and Lindegaard got it again.

Seeing Fabio's ball being cut off by his opponent, Ferguson was so angry that he almost threw the tactical board and scolded Fabio's idiot.

The Romanian commentator on the scene also said that if Galaz's forward was replaced by either Rooney and Gao Xiaodong, Galaz would be ahead now.

In the first 20 minutes, Manchester United's possession rate reached an astonishing 80%, creating several shots, but because of Galaz's intensive defense, Manchester United did not create a real threat.

Galaz could hardly get the ball, but they suddenly snatched it back like crazy, but they snatched Manchester United twice, creating a chance to shoot twice.

In the 26th minute, Galaz made a long pass and hit the ball into Manchester United's penalty area.

While Ferdinand was fighting for the header with his opponent, the ball bounced and hit Smalin's arm, but referee Bridge signaled the game to continue with an unintentional handball.

The Romanian fans at the scene were very dissatisfied and believed that Bridge favored the strong team and responded with a huge boo.

Smalling's passive handball alerted Manchester United, and then Manchester United also strengthened the frontcourt press.

In the 29th minute, Valencia intercepted the ball in the frontcourt and passed it across from the side of the penalty area to Rooney, but Rooney shot with a strong shot and hit the ball into the stands.

In the 32nd minute, Gao Xiaodong was knocked down in the middle and the referee awarded a free kick.

Gao Xiaodong kicked out an elevator ball. The ball fell rapidly after passing the wall, but the ball was too far away. Galaz goalkeeper Grachovac saved the ball sideways and controlled it.

Seeing that the first half time was about to pass and he still couldn't score, all Manchester United players pressed over and put Galaz in the half-time besiege.

In the 40th minute, Rooney passed the ball across from the left corner of the penalty area to Gao Xiaodong. Galaz defender Kostin urgently stretched out his right hand to block the ball. German referee Bridge whistled and awarded a free kick, and warned Kostin.

This free kick is very good, only 24 meters away from the goal.

Gao Xiaodong stood in front of the ball, and Rooney stood on one side.

After the whistle, Rooney ran over the ball, Gao Xiaodong suddenly shot low, and the ball jumped up.

Flying under the wall.

Galaz goalkeeper Grachovac couldn't react well and could only watch the ball fly to the goal net.

1:0

Gao Xiaodong scored the first record for Manchester United.

Gao Xiaodong was very happy after scoring the goal. He celebrated his goal with two somersaults.

After conceding the ball, Galaz was not in chaos. They were mentally prepared for it. Although Manchester United wanted to play while the iron was hot, it failed to work under Galaz's tenacious defense.

Manchester United temporarily led Galaz Steel 1-0 in the first half.

At the beginning of the second half, Manchester United continued to have the ball possession, but Galaz strengthened his physical confrontation and would rather foul than allow Manchester United to easily dribble and pass.

The referee Brage seemed to be a little biased towards the home team after Manchester United scored, and pretended not to see many big moves.

Under the destructive defense of the opponent, Manchester United doesn't have many ways to attack.

Galaz's rough foul has angered Manchester United, and Manchester United are all passionate men. How can they stand this? They also use foul actions to deal with Galaz.

Both sides focused on their opponents instead of the ball. The scene became very hot for a while, and the players were overturned and confronted each other from time to time.

Referee Bridge felt that the scene was a little out of control, so he quickly tightened the scale.

In the 60th minute, Lapa, who violated Gao Xiaodong in succession, was warned by a yellow card.

Two minutes later, Anderson knocked down Antal for a tactical foul and received a yellow card. In the 66th minute, Perendia kicked Rooney in bad terms and applied for a yellow card.

In the 70th minute, Fabio was tackled to the ground. Fortunately, there was no problem after going down to check, so he continued to play again.

In the 73rd minute, Galaz midfielder Yagu knocked Gao Xiaodong down and received a yellow card.

In just thirteen minutes, referee Bridge showed a total of 5 yellow cards.

However, this still did not control the situation on the field.

In the 76th minute of the game, Vidic, who will celebrate his 30th birthday this Friday, knocked down Jiuerjiu near the sidelines of the backcourt. The somewhat anxious referee Bridge directly drove Vidic out of the court with a red card.

Ferguson was very angry. He rushed into the court and complained loudly to the referee. Fortunately, Bridge felt that his red card was a bit heavy just now and did not drive Ferguson to the stands.

Manchester United lacked a central defender, but Ferguson used Evans to replace Fabio, reducing one defender. Obviously, Ferguson believed that his opponent was so weak and there were almost no offensive opportunities in the whole game, so the three defenders were enough to deal with it.

Seeing Vidic being sent off, Galaz Steel saw hope of creating a miracle. They immediately made adjustments and replaced two players in a row to strengthen the offense.

An injured tiger is the most dangerous, and Galaz has forgotten this truth.

After the substitution, Galaz strengthened his offense and gained continuous shooting opportunities.

In the 81st minute, Pena, who came on as a substitute, headed the ball from a close distance.

Two minutes later, Punoshevac received a pass from the right wing and took a foot slightly off the right post in the penalty area.

However, just when Galaz felt that they were very close to the goal, Manchester United showed their strength. Gao Xiaodong intercepted the ball in the backcourt and drove straight in, leading it to Galaz's 30-meter area.

Galaz quickly organized players to surround Gao Xiaodong. Gao Xiaodong quickly distributed the ball to Rooney at the moment the opponent surrounded him. Rooney dribbled the ball into the penalty area and shot with a push shot to break through Galaz's goal again.

2-0

Rooney scored 25 goals in the Champions League, and he also surpassed Scholes to become the English player with the most goals in Champions League history.
