Manchester United started with a victory in the most prestigious European club tournament, achieving a 4:2 advantage over Bayer. For David Moyes, the debut in the group stage of the Champions League was successful. “Red Devils” had a good match. It can be said that the victory in this game was easily given to the English team. The Mancunians only had some trouble early in the second half when they gave Bayer an opportunity to equalise. It is true that they also gave their decisive speech very quickly.
David Moyes’ men opened the scoring midway through the first half through Wayne Rooney’s effort. After that, the hosts relaxed a bit, for which Simon Rolfes punished them at the beginning of the second half. “Manchester United” made the right conclusions from what happened, played with all their strength again and took the lead again. Robin van Persie stood out. The English were not satisfied with what they had achieved and scored two more goals. First, Rooney scored his second goal in this game, and a little later, Wayne stood out with an effective pass, setting up Antonio Valencia for a shot.
At the end of the game, Omer Toprak reduced the difference. “Manchester United” thus won 4:2.
Shakhtar Donetsk in the other group game sent 2 unanswered goals to the goal of “Real Sociedad” while away. This match clearly showed how important experience is in the Champions League. The home team spent the first half better, they did not do badly in the second half either, but they lost. In the first half, the “miners” did not even have a single shot on the opponent’s goal, while Real Sociedad created several dangerous moments. “Shakhtar” seemed to be waiting for the opponent’s mistake. was acting passively, trying not to speed up the course of events.
The first 45 minutes were scoreless and Alex Teixeira had his authoritative speech after the break. First, he took advantage of a great pass from Costa and put his team ahead with a powerful shot, and at the end of the game he put an end to the match by moving from the left wing to the center and sending the ball into the far corner of the goal.
The Spanish team had scoring opportunities in the second half as well, but could not convert them. Somewhere the experience was not enough, somewhere the order. “Shakhtar” scored the first 3 points, and “Real Sociedad” are waiting for the upcoming away games with “Bayer” and “Manchester United”.
