Seattle Sounders versus Manchester United – Preseason Friendly: Second half review
Manchester United started the second half with a host of changes at the half time as Wayne Rooney, Amos, Park Ji Sung, Gabriel Obertan and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson. With the score line at
one goal to nil from the first half, Manchester United wasted no time in embarking forward on their first attack of the second half as in the 49th minute Biram Diouf was sent clean through on goal via a great through ball by Luis http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nani-c27299.
The Portuguese winger looped the ball over the Seattle defence in order to break the offside trap. Diouf took the ball past the onrushing goalkeeper in the Seattle penalty area and then finished the move off in style by tapping
the ball into an open net. In doing so, the Manchester United striker finished off any comeback chances that Seattle might’ve had in the second half as well.
In the 51st minute, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gabriel-Obertan-c14324 surged down the right wing. The Frenchman provided a pin point cross for Rooney who produced an immaculate finish to make it three nil in favour
of the visiting team. Rooney’s shot was directed towards the roof of the net which made it extremely difficult for the Seattle goalkeeper to get a touch on the ball to keep it out.
In the 52nd minute, Seattle tried to his United on the counter attack but Neagle’s shot was well wide of the mark as his shot sailed over the crossbar. In the 53rd minute, Manchester United were on the back
foot once again as this time Fucito’s shot brought out an acrobatic save from Amos who tipped the ball away from the Manchester United goal. In the 69th minute, Rooney got his second goal of the match as this time Park Ji Sung played the Englishman
inside the Seattle penalty area.
Rooney took one touch to control the ball and his second touch was a source of an inspirational finish into the bottom right hand corner of the Seattle goal as the score line reached 4-0 in favour of the Red Devils. In the 71st
minute, Park Ji Sung added another goal to Manchester United’s lead to make it 5-0 after Rooney stepped over the ball to leave it for the South Korean midfielder. In the 72nd minute, Rooney completed his hatrick as this time he was found in space
by Obertan and once again the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Everton-c13019 youngster made no mistake with his finish.
Just before the final whistle Manchester United added another goal to their lead to make it 7-0 on the night as this time it was Gabriel Obertan who sliced open the Seattle defence with a mesmerizing run. Obertan finished the move
off with an emphatic finish and shortly after the match came to a close with the final score resting at 7-0 to the visiting team.
