Schalke 04 vs Manchester United Match Report
Manchester United produced a convincing 2-0 win at Schalke 04 in the Champions League semi-final first leg.
Ryan Giggs and Wayne Rooney found the net for United at Schalke 04.
Schalke came into this game on the back of a 7-3 aggregate win over defending Champions Inter Milan, and had the first shot on goal when Alexander Baumjohann had his effort saved by Edwin van der Sar. Rather than being a sign of things to come for Schalke, it signaled a period of long United dominance.
Neuer was forced to produce three good saves within the first 10 minutes as he saved a deflected Rooney effort, before saving smartly from Park Ji-Sung and Javier Hernandez.
Hernandez was again denied by Neuer before the Mexican striker spurned two more chances to open the scoring. The teams would go in 0-0 at half-time, but not before Neuer saved yet again from Hernandez and produced to saves to stifle Giggs.
French left-back Patrice Evra surged forward for United early in the second half but his header was deflected over the crossbar by the impressive Neuer.
Schalke finally found a footing in the game and a dangerous Raul cross was cleared by Rio Ferdinand, before Goncalves Edu forced a good save from Van der Sar.
The deadlock was finally broken midway through the second half when Rooney played Giggs through and the ageless Welsh winger slotted between Neuer’s legs to finally beat the German international goalkeeper. The goal saw the 37 year old Giggs overtake Filippo Inzaghi and become the Champions League’s oldest ever goal scorer.
Two minutes later United doubled their aggregate lead when Hernandez set up Rooney and the England striker lashed a smart finish into the bottom corner.
Schalke tried to find a way back into the game, but the closest they came was a Sergio Escudero shot that was well dealt with by Van der Sar.
United will now return to Old Trafford on May 4th defending a 2-0 aggregate lead and are heavy favorites to go on and face Real Madrid or Barcelona in the semi-finals.
