Foul on Smith and as usual Smith mouthing off. FK. Ronaldo's cross almost hit 5 Man U players in the box, but all were caught offsides. 28 Min.
Coming onto the half-hour,both teams are missing the final spark,but there's al kinds of intensity out there.Tim has not been troubled other than by dodgy clearances .He kept one ball from going out for a corner.
Man U lacking a bit in creativity. Playing a bit of kick ball. Ronaldo's shot in the box is blocked away by a defender.
Does Mr. Poll know what a handball is? Shessh! Man U dominating possesion but can't get pass a bunkered Leeds defense. Leeds can't stream a attack going. Yellow card to Pennant on a bad challenge on Fortune. 36 Min.
Pennant shot from Millar sails high across. CK. Howard punches to ball away. 38th Min. O'Shea coming in for the injured Fortune soon.
Howard sees his heaviest action. Milner's cross reaches pennant past the far post. Pennant has no angle and crosses back. Loose ball, Leeds wins and fires a shot, blocked out for a corner. Corner. Howard punches clear away from the head of Viduka.
And now a Graham Poll moment. Ronaldo rolls/dives over Batty's back and Batty gets booked for that. 40 Min.
David Batty with a hard challenge (as if he challenges any other way) on Ronaldo who crumples. Yellow card on Batty. Ronaldo's FK finds RVN, header from around the spot... ...wide. Leeds come back. Smith counters. Decides to play through instead of shooting from distance. Ball runs out for a GK.
Leeds Are starting to get some counters going again.There will be red cards to come in this game,I reckon.
