Kaizer Chiefs v Manchester United Review

The Second Pre-Season match has ended in a 1-1 draw with the Kaizer Chiefs.
Six of the players starting today started in the Champion's League final which just shows that it was a strong line-up put out by Ferguson.
Kuszczak was back from injury but unfortunetly Rio Ferdinand had to pull out just before the match with minor back spasms.
Rooney almost gave us the lead with just 10 minutes gone but his freekick went flying over the bar.
Vidic also had a good chance when his header went wide, if it was on target it would have been a goal.
The Kaizer Chiefs went infront with a penalty given away by Gary Neville, Siphiwe Tshabalala slotted it into the back of the net.
Before the penalty it has really been one way traffic by United, we didnt have loads of chances but we had most of the possession and looked comfortable.
Second half and we definetly had to be a bit more urgent.
We got our equaliser in the 59th minute by Chris Eagles, after his header was deflected by Jimmy Tau.
Our fitness was a lot higher than the Kaizer Chiefs but still not perfect, we looked comfortable and the Kaizer Chiefs looked like they were wearing out.
Wayne Rooney received a yellow card and could have quite easily been sent off, he was barking at the match throughout the match.
We were unable to break down their defence and it finished 1-1.
If United beat the Orlando Pirates on tuesday we will definetly be going into the final no matter what happens in the other match between the Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs.
