AC MILAN 1-1 UNITED (8-9 Pen): MAN UNITED NAIJA FM MATCH REPORT.

As part of the pre-season preparations, Mourinho's Manchester United faced ex-midfield 'Bakassi boy' Guttuso's AC Milan in the International champions cup competition.


The match started out with both teams playing like it was a world cup final. Within 10 minutes, both sides had already missed good chances with Manchester United's new goalkeeper signing, Lee Grant making a great save.

In the 12th minute, 'Awoof' signing Alexis 'Balogun' Sanchez picked a delightful flick from Mata and before eyes opened and closed, the ball was dancing 'One-corner' in the net.


While the celebration of the goal was going on, an equaliser came from Jesùs Fernandez. The reply was so fast that many fans thought it was the replay of Alexis's goal. 

It was hoped that the match was going to be a harvest of goals but that did not happen as no extra goal was scored until the end of 90 minutes. 


The game went into penalty shoot-out and that was when the harvest began. There were 13 rounds of penalty shoot out with some players playing twice to break the deadlock. At some point, both managers suggested that they may have to take a penalty each.

Eric Bailly, Scot McTominay, and goalkeeper Perreira missed their penalties. In the end Manchester United won 9-8 with Ander 'Akinbode' Herrera winning the man of the match ward.



It was a good work out in the end, and the 1st victory in the pre-season thus far. 

UP NEXT, Liverpool; Same time, same station on Saturday. 




 GLORY GLORY MAN UNITED.
