| Chicharito saves the day for Manchester United at Old Trafford |
LONDON, England
(TheSportsNEXT) October 24, 2012: Manchester United staged an unbelievable
comeback on Tuesday night to stun Braga by two goals to three in their Group H
match of the UEFA Champions League 2012 played at Old Trafford in Manchester.
This is the eighth time in last 12 matches that the
Manchester United have fought back hard to avoid defeat and they looked all set
for an embarrassing defeat in front of home crowd before Mexican Javier
Hernandez scored twice to rescue them from a goal down.
With three matches in as many games, the Manchester United
are on the brink of knockout stages qualification as they would only require
one more game with three points to get there.
However, they will have to return to their best colors as
their vulnerable defense was once again exposed brutally by Braga as their
skipper Alan put Old Trafford in sheer silence twice in the game.
Skipper of the Portuguese soccer club scored the first goal only
90 seconds after the game started and soon he made it 2-0 to leave Red Devils
and their fans in disbelief in the 20th minute.
It was all going bleak before Javier Hernandez pulled back
one just before the half-time whistle and when Jonny Evans equalized just at
the stroke of an hour of the match, the Old Trafford returned to life and they
started believing yet again.
The Old Trafford turned berserk in the 75th
minute when Chicharito scored his second goal of the night to take his side
into lead for the first time in the match and some disciplined word from
defenders then stole the victory from the jaws of defeat and Braga at the end
of the day.
While Sir Alex Ferguson would be worried with vulnerable
defenders but at the same time he has all the reasons to be proud of his
strikers as they once again prove their mettle when the chips were down.
