The Manchester Derby 04-05 [R]

Another free kick for United in the City half. Heinze's cross for Miller is just cleared. Sibierski gives is straight to Keane, but the move breaks down when Smith commits a foul.

 

Ronaldo onside, but his cross is again collected by James.

City break through Jordan, and Carroll gets to the ball just before Wright-Phillips.

 

Another City attack breaks down, Dunne tackles Keane well, but then Jordan fouls Smith. Another dangerous free-kick (to the right of the penalty area) and Jordan is booked.

 

Ronaldo's free kick is headed away. Lauched back in, but headed away by Sibierski then James claims.

 

Miller has been moved to the left, and Ronaldo will attack young Stephen Jordan down the right.

 

City have some possession, and Gary Neville concedes a throw.

 

James is alert to gather ahead of Saha. Another good ball from Scholes.

 

Ronaldo shot, well saved by James.

 

35 minutes gone. Wright Phillips shot is blocked, and then Sibierski can't connect to a very good Willo Flood cross.

 

Gary Neville's cross is put behind for a corner. Ronaldo's ball is terrible, cleared by Flood and United are pushed back.

 

Flood breaks forward well, but SWP is flagged offside.

 

Willo Flood has been moved over to the left for City.

 

United are probably getting frustrating, and City look dangerous on the counter.

 

Neville's cross is cleared by Dunne, and Heinze's ball goes out for a goal kick.

 

2 minutes of stoppage time.

 

Smith shoots high and wide from distance.

 

Richard Dunne has been excellent for City today. Winning every header that comes his way.

 

Half Time: 0-0.

 

Giggs on, Miller off. Makes sense I suppose, though I'm not pleased.

 

Second half underway.
