Chapter 315 Twin Stars Shine

2:0, Manchester United firmly grasped the initiative.

Manchester United has never lost when leading by two goals this season, let alone now at home.

"In fact, Benfica has performed well in the European wars in the past two years. They rarely concede more than two goals on the road, but today they obviously fell at Old Trafford. The Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo personally gave his country's ball The team was sent into the abyss of death."

"I believe the Portuguese fans sitting in front of the TV must have mixed emotions at this time. On one side is the domestic team and on the other side is Cristiano Ronaldo."

At halftime, the Manchester United fans in the stands were very excited and chanted Ronaldo's name.

Ferguson almost walked back to the locker room humming a tune, but that doesn't mean he was satisfied with everyone. Although Smith had one assist, his performance could only be considered unsatisfactory.

In the second half, he let Park Ji-sung warm up off the court, but he did not replace him immediately, presumably to put pressure on Smith. Of course, the same goes for Giggs. The left wing formed by him and Smith was too quiet in the first half. Manchester United's offense was concentrated on Ronaldo's side. Obviously they did not do enough.

At the beginning of the second half, Benfica obviously strengthened their attack. They pressed very high. In the 48th minute, Simao cooperated with Miccoli. The latter's pass was deflected to Beto's feet, but Beto's shot in the penalty area missed.

"The Italian has very delicate skills with his feet. He is Benfica's most threatening player."

"Get the ball in a restricted manner."

In the 53rd minute, Van der Sar received a pass from Bardsley's foot. Benfica's players immediately surrounded the referee, thinking it should be an indirect free kick in the penalty area. However, the referee ignored it and thought it was not an intentional pass back, so no penalty was awarded.

Benfica coach Kaman also went to the fourth official to complain.

"In fact, the referee's decision on this ball was not wrong. It was just Benfica's players putting pressure on the referee. There was nothing wrong with the decision."

Play resumed after nearly half a minute of protest. Ferdinand quickly handed the ball to Fletcher, who passed it straight to Ronaldo.

Cristiano Ronaldo dribbled the ball forward and made a feint kick, easily getting rid of Leon's defense. When he cut inside the middle, no one could keep up with the frequency of his feet. Dong Fangzhuo quickly dragged the two central defenders towards the middle. This gave Ronaldo created a shooting space. Ronaldo did not hesitate to volley with his right foot from 22 meters in front of the goal. Unfortunately, the ball still missed the goal.

"Cristiano Ronaldo is in great form today and he wants to score another goal!"

Benfica's players couldn't stand it any longer. In the 56th minute, national teammate Simão ignored him and shoveled Ronaldo out of the field. This also caused confusion among players on both sides, and Simang also received a yellow card.

The referee had just separated the two sides. In the 57th minute, Louison violated Van der Sar while fighting for a header and was also given a yellow card.

In the 59th minute, Smith violated Miccoli and was given another yellow card.

In just a few minutes, yellow cards were flying everywhere and the scene became very tense.

In the 60th minute, Smith violated Miccoli again, knocking him down from the side and giving Benfica a free kick 22 meters away from the goal. However, the referee was merciful and did not show Smith another yellow card.

But off the court, Ferguson was chewing gum crazily and his heart was probably racing. He immediately replaced the impulsive Smith with Park Ji-sung.

"Smith really used himself as a defensive midfielder. Such a rough foul was completely unnecessary. Fortunately, the referee did not give him another card, otherwise he could have gone to the stand to chat with Rooney."

Simang stood in front of the ball and took two deep breaths. After running up, he kicked out a wonderful arc with the inside of his right foot.

Fallen ball!

The ball hit the near corner.

Benfica equalizes 1-2!

"Is today a Portuguese day? Cristiano Ronaldo and Simao both scored a free kick."

"Fortunately, Manchester United is still ahead, otherwise Smith would really be a sinner."

"Manchester United cannot be careless. Just leading by one goal is not enough. Don't let the equalizer..."

Ferguson's mouth chewed faster...

An equalizer? It is impossible for Manchester United to leave space for Benfica to attack.

Ferguson waved from the sidelines, instructing the team to step up their offense.

In the 64th minute, Fletcher's pass from the right was pushed out. Cristiano Ronaldo, who had rushed to the center, stopped the ball with his chest. He volleyed with his right foot from a small angle and was pounced by the Benfica goalkeeper. The ball hit the near post and bounced out of the baseline!

Scholes immediately took a corner kick on the right, and Fletcher volleyed over the crossbar from 20 meters in front of the goal.

The Old Trafford fans made a huge noise, encouraging the team to strengthen their attack.

"Well done."

"come on."

"Keep pressing them down and beating them!"

In the 72nd minute, right back Bardsley stepped in and passed from the right. A half-high ball flew strangely to the back point. Scholes' shovel shot at the back post missed by a hair. Scokes didn't believe he could throw the ball away...

But Manchester United did not stop attacking. Victory beckoned to them. They continued to attack with all their strength and did not give Benfica a chance to breathe.

In the 85th minute, Ronaldo once again broke through on the right wing and took a corner kick. He quickly rushed into Benfica's penalty area.

"Manchester United's offensive was very strong. It looked like they were behind rather than ahead. Benfica was suppressed in the half."

Scholes took a corner kick from the right. This time, the ball from Scholes' penalty flew to the front point. Dong Fangzhuo got rid of Louison in the middle and rushed over. Before the opponent came up again, he headed the ball in the corner of the small penalty area. ferry!

But her top position was not very good, and the ball bounced to the back point!

Ronaldo put his right foot into the empty goal 2 meters in front of the goal...

"Gooal!"

"goooooooal!"

"goooooooooooooooal!"

"Cristiano Ronaldo! Hat trick!"

"No one can stop him from scoring goals. He scored three goals in this game and personally sent his country's team home. He is extremely brave and unstoppable! He has been phenomenal in two consecutive games. performance.”

Manchester United takes a 3-1 lead with this goal!

"Although Chinese Dong stopped the trend of scoring goals, he sent two assists in this game. He and Ronaldo complemented each other to ensure that Manchester United won the game."

"Although Benfica played very tenaciously, they eventually fell at the feet of the Gemini stars. Yes, when Rooney was sitting in the stands, Chinese Dong and Ronaldo made the fans temporarily forget about Rooney. Without Rooney, Manchester United would still be relaxed. 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 is back on the track of victory, and the fans have finally found their happiness again...
