Macheda, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749
back four.
Soon Manchester United had their opponents on the back foot and they made them pay for some slack defending in the 50th minute when Michael Owen opened the scoring in Boston. The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Real-c30728 Madrid striker was fed in
by Carrick who was earlier played in by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Anderson-c5565 from the midfield region. Owen didn’t take time to settle on the ball and slotted it away with his first touch past the despairing New England goalkeeper as the score line reached 1-0.
In the 54th minute, Macheda was on target for Manchester United. This time Michael Owen dropped deep and found Carrick’s late run into the New England penalty area. The English midfielder squared the ball towards Macheda
who made no mistake from close range as United gained a two goal lead within the first ten minutes of the second half.
In the 55th minute, New England were awarded a free kick right at the edge of the Manchester United penalty area. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Benny-Feilhaber-c7515 stepped up to take the set piece and his free kick took a wicked deflection off Mansally
which totally disoriented the goalkeeper as the hosts pulled a goal back. Feilhaber’s free kick brought the score line to 1-2 as Manchester United conceded a shock goal through a dangerous free kick.
In the 61st minute, Manchester United restored their two goal advantage thanks to Macheda’s predatory aspects. The young Italian striker anticipated Nyassi’s mistake in the New England revolution’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Defence-c38904 and then applied
a deft finishing touch to dink the ball past the on-rushing New England goalkeeper http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Matt-Reis-c24778. With the score line 3-1, Manchester United went on to dominate the game.
In the 67th minute, Manchester United made two more changes as Luis http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ryan-Giggs-c31985. In the 69th minute, Macheda went searching for his third goal of the night
with a spectacular effort from 25 yards out but Reis dived acrobatically to his right and tipped the ball away. In the 80th minute, Manchester United finally killed the game off with their fourth goal of the night as Park Ji Sung was played in by
Ryan Giggs. The former South Korean international midfielder produced an immaculate finish as the match finally came to an end, with the score line at 1-4.
