Rooney 1:0 Roma

Filed Under Champ. League 

A classic Rooney goal gave Man Utd the win at old Trafford in this Champions league qualifier.

Last April brings back memories of the 7-1 drubbing handed out to Roma in last season’s quarter-final, but this match saw a lot less goals. Chances were at a premium with Cristiano Ronaldo and Francesco Totti restricted to long-range efforts.

None the less, Rooney scored his first goal of the season with a poweful early shot on the turn across the goal. It clipped the far left post and went in.

Nani enjoyed one of his best displays for Man Utd so far and provided the pass for Rooney to score.

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson said:

“I’m pleased with the result, it’s a fair result, we controlled most of the match, carried a little bit of luck towards the end. The second half we improved and the goal was a fabulous goal. Luck happens in football, no question about that. I think we got a break in the last 15 minutes of the match when they started to risk a bit.”
