Manchester United 2 - 2 Porto FC

Yesterday I went to the match with a friend. As always, going to the Theatre of Dreams (Old Trafford) is an adventure from the moment you take the train straight to the grounds. When you arrive despite the ton of cops guarding the grounds everybody is cheerful and you don't really feel that intimidated. After walking around and visiting the mega store we waited for the err "Ticket Man" to arrive so we could collect our tickets. Don't ask me anything else about that, the important thing is that we got our tickets =) (it happens even in the best families, we Mexicans would say).

Once inside we heard the Champions League Hymn, the players came into the ground, the traditional picture was taken and on they went. To the surprise of all of us Porto played better all the 90 minutes and surprised the Red Devils with an early goal that Rooney cancelled just before the half time.

The second half was really boring. ManUtd played terribly and they were only hanging to their "champions luck" because Porto missed many opportunities. I have to say the team looked a tad better after Gigs, Neville and Tevez went into the pitch, not great though.

And suddenly yay!!!
Tevez scored!!! with only four minutes to go and we all counted the 3 points in the bag.

and three or so minutes later... Noooooo!!!

Porto scored again! to seal the game...

Ronaldo and Gigs still had a good opportunity during the injury time:


... and missed (Gigs took the free-kick).

In all honesty this score was more than fair since Porto played better. Let's wait and see what happens in the second leg.

It was nice to go to a match after a long time. Pricey though!! I could have bought a couple light diffusers for my flash.

Until next time commenting from the Tib Lock 88, Manchester.
