Match report: Milan 2 - Manchester United 3

Above: Wayne Rooney scores Manchester United's second goal

Below: Wayne Rooney scores Manchester United's third goal

  • Goals scored: Ronaldinho 3', Scholes 36', Rooney 66', Rooney 74', Seedorf 85'
  • What happened: Milan scored right off the bat on a deflected shot by Ronaldinho. For the next hour, Milan had many more chances to score but could not do so. Unfortunately, during that time, Manchester United scored a ridiculous goal. Between the 60th and 84th minutes, Milan went completely flat and allowed Manchester United to run all over them. Wayne Rooney scored two goals. Near the end, Seedorf scored an amazing goal on a back/side heel and Milan came back to life. They were unable to score again, however.
  • What happened on Manchester United's first goal: The ball was crossed in to Paul Scholes in front of the net. He swung his foot at the ball and completely missed. The ball, however, struck his non-kicking, planted leg and rolled slowly into the corner of the net.
  • What this match teaches us: In order to defeat Manchester United in the second leg at Old Trafford next month, Milan must either win by two or win 3-2 and then win the subsequent shoot-out.
