In the quarter finals of the champion league between Bayern Munich verses Manchester United in the first leg. Manchester United scored a suprisse early goal by Wayne Rooney in the second minute, and the German clubs are gamous for not giving up in any games. It was a hard fought game and at times it was cagey as well. bayern munich then got their long awaited equalizer. It came in the form of a free kick taken by Franck Ribery, the ball defected from a player and caught Edwin Van der sar on the wrong foot in the 77th minute. manchester United kept Bayern out of the box area for long periods. But then old memories came into the sold out crowd of 66,000 viewers . It was the 1999 final between Bayern Munich and manchester United, that year Manchester United won the cup in the injury time for a score of 2-1.
Then at injury time and tired legs Patrice evra made a mistake allowing the Croatian striker Olic got through and scored the winner in the injury time ,at 90+ 2 minutes.
As Arjen Robben was injured Ribery had to play a major role and could not break the defence.
Wayne Rooney hurt his anckle and will be out for a month.
