United 3 CSKA Moscow 3: Player ratings
Van der Sar: Won?t be thanking his defence for their protection but might not be wholly happy with his display 6 Neville: The steady skipper provided sterling defence and decent crosses 6 Brown: Not his best effort against the tricky Necid and unable to give Reds sound base 5 Evans: Improve late on but was very unsteady in the earlier stages 5 Fabio: Was a rock against Krasic in Moscow but roles reversed in this one 5 Valencia: Kept up his goal form as he refused to get too frustrated 6 Scholes: Typical Scholes goal and would have had more but for impressive keeper Akinfeev 6 Fletcher: Good to have the Scot back and ran himself into ground attempting to get a response 6 Nani: His usual mix of mesmeric tricks and frustrating runs into brick walls 5 Macheda: A respectable effort on his Champions League debut. Two good shots and a header against post 6 Owen: A typical goal for his scrapbook but also some frustrating moments 6 Subs: Rooney (sub Nani 58) Ignited crowd 6 Evra (sub Fabio 59) Attacked well 5 Obertan (sub Macheda 82) Pegged Russians back late on 5 Not used: Anderson, O?Shea, Gibson, Kuszczak CSKA Moscow: Akinfeev, A Berezutski, V Berezutski, Ignashevich, Schennikov, Krasic, Semberas, Aldonin, Mamaev (Rahimic 70), Necid, Dzagoev Goals: United: Owen (29) Scholes (84) Georgi Schennikov (own goal) (90) CSKA Moscow: Dzagoev (25) Krasic (31) V Berezutski (47) Bookings: United: Fletcher (49) Macheda (75) CSKA Moscow: Necid (25) Aldonin (54) Semberas (72, 90)Semberas sent off (90) Battle of the Bosses: Novice Champions League coach Slutski will take more from this than Sir Alex Referee: Olegario Benquerenca (Portugal) - Had done okay until he messed up the Fletcher penalty shout and a late handball 5 Attendance: 73, 718 Agree with the ratings?
