Min 2: Louie Barry loses the ball to Les Ferdinand (NHL) on the right-hand side of the area...
        ...he takes it on and steers the coolest of shots past John Russell GOAL!...

        ...score now: NHL 1 - FCB 0

        ...Sven Botman peels off to the back post...
        ...and connects with a great header but its collected by John Russell.
Min 34: Great tackle by John Anderson (NHL)...
        ...to prevent John McNamee (FCB) from latching onto Sydie Peck's pass. 
Min 36: Cheeky back heel from Les Ferdinand to release Miguel Almiron in the box...
        ...but the Paraguayan is correctly ruled to have been off-side. 
Min 40: Miguel Almiron's (NHL) cross is met by the head of Darren Peacock...
        ...but it loops harmlessly over the bar.
Min 42: With Sheffield so far forward a rare Manchester break sees Les Ferdinand play a long diagonal pass for Sean Neave...
        ...he has acres of space but has wandered off-side. 
Min 43: Great tackle by Sven Botman (NHL)...
        ...to prevent Owen Jenkins (FCB) from latching onto John McNamee's pass. 
Min 45: Sydie Peck (FCB) escapes the offside flag...
        ...as a ball is played up to him...
        ...but Sven Botman (NHL) muscles out the big striker before he can control.
Min 45: Paul Gascoigne on for Les Ferdinand(FW)...
        ...Paul Gascoigne will play FW.

        ... a little more power and Darren Peacock would have lost his well placed foot.?

        ...Sandro Tonali (NHL) gets his head to it...
        ...but John Russell is untroubled by that one.

        ...to prevent Paul Gascoigne (NHL) from latching onto Sandro Tonali's pass. 
Min 74: Sean Neave (NHL) knocks the ball in from the left wing...

        ...after great work from Miguel Almiron in the Sheffield box.
Min 84: Sheffield gives the ball away and Miguel Almiron gathers...
        ...he comes in from the left flank unchallenged...
        ...he unleashes an unstoppable drive that ends up in the top corner of John Russell's net...
        ...the keeper had no chance GOAL!!...
        ...Manchester are looking strong now...
        ...score now: NHL 2 - FCB 0
