Min 0: Manchester opens up with a 4-2-4 L while the Legends will play a 4-3-3 N.
Min 0: Today's referee is Alan Freeland (STRONG/STRICT).
Min 1: Miguel Almiron (NHL) picks up a long clearance...
        ...he heads toward the byline and flicks it into Les Ferdinand...
        ...whose shot is easily handled by Edwin van der Sar.
Min 13: Edwin van der Sar rushes out to block Daniel Codone's (NHL) route to goal...
        ...but Daniel Codone drifts to the left and clips the ball into the box...
        ...Nico Tagliafico covers for the keeper and heads the ball out of the goal mouth...
        ...and Edwin van der Sar scrambles to it.
Min 13: The Ref pulls Darren Peacock (NHL) up for spitting? Surely he can't be serious??
Min 18: Period of head tennis in the middle of the pitch...
        ...finally a ball is played along the ground towards Les Ferdinand (NHL)...
        ...but the impressive Winston Bogarde (AFC) is able to get the ball back to Edwin van der Sar.
Min 26: Johan Cruijff (AFC) lays the ball off for Rafael van der Vaart around the D...
        ...he looks to bend one into the top corner...
        ...and gets it horribly wrong and horribly wide. 
Min 28: The ball is hooked on towards Andy Cole (NHL)...
        ...who takes on Nico Tagliafico on the edge of the area...
        ...he's blocked but the rebound falls to Daniel Codone...
        ...who from the edge of the box drills a fine low shot that floats just wide.
Min 29: Angelos Charisteas (AFC) seizes on a horrible clearance from the Irishman keeper...
        ...finds Johan Cruijff busting into the box...
        ...who shoots...
        ...saved by Shay Given!
Min 31: Patrick Kluivert's (AFC) goal-bound effort is blocked brilliantly by Darren Peacock (NHL)...
        ...and it loops up and into the hands of Shay Given.
Min 34: Rafael van der Vaart (AFC) dinks the ball over the top of the onrushing Shay Given...
        ...and into the corner of the net. A sublime finish to a brilliantly worked move GOAL!!...
        ...it's a lead that Leon Permentier's side deserve - can they add to it before the break?...
        ...score now: NHL 0 - AFC 1
Min 35: Sven Botman's (NHL) superb ball...
        ...is headed home by an umarked Miguel Almiron from six yards out. GOAL!...
        ...Manchester draw level....
        ...score now: NHL 1 - AFC 1
Min 36: Manchester break quickly with Daniel Codone...
        ...he only has Edwin van der Sar to beat...
        ...great save by Edwin van der Sar but the ball falls to Darren Peacock...
        ...whose shot is smothered by the recovering Edwin van der Sar.
Min 38: Les Ferdinand (NHL) now gets a chance to cross...
        ...he looks for Miguel Almiron but it evades him...
        ...Nico Tagliafico (AFC) is there to collect the ball and turn it back upfield.

Min 59: The ball lands at the feet of Rafael van der Vaart (AFC) on the edge of the box...
        ...he instictively fires a bullet shot through a crowded penalty area...
        ...Shay Given does well to position himself and collect.
Min 60: Dennis Bergkamp on for Sunday Oliseh(MF)...
        ...Dennis Bergkamp will play MF.
Min 60: Michael Reiziger on for Winston Bogarde(DF)...
        ...Michael Reiziger will play DF.
Min 62: Patrick Kluivert (AFC) booked for what looked like an unintentional handball.
Min 66: Luis Suarez (AFC) nods the ball down for Michael Reiziger on the edge of the box...
        ...Michael Reiziger takes a heavy touch into the box...
        ...and Shay Given rushes of his line...
        ...Michael Reiziger gets there first...
        ...but his chip is deflected out of danger by an alert Glenn Roeder (NHL)!
Min 76: Thomas Mullen (AFC) looks up and spots Patrick Kluivert arriving in the box...
        ...the Austrian tees up Patrick Kluivert for the shot...
        ...the ball falls into into the arms Shay Given...
        ...Thomas Mullen should have done better with that.
Min 84: With Amsterdam so far forward a rare Manchester break sees Les Ferdinand play a long diagonal pass for Miguel Almiron...
        ...he has acres of space but has wandered off-side. 
Min 85: The Ref pulls Thomas Mullen (AFC) up for spitting? Surely he can't be serious??
Min 88: Rafael van der Vaart is freed 30 yards out...
        ...takes a few steps forward...
        ...and hammers a brilliant shot into the top corner GOAL!...
        ...what an amazing goal!  Just a few minutes from stoppage time now...
        ...score now: NHL 1 - AFC 2
