Manchester United FC Vs. Marseille, 2011 UEFA Champions League: Javier Hernandez Goal Puts Hosts Up 1-0

Manchester United had the first corner after a chipped long pass from Wayne Rooney found Ryan Giggs, but it was easily claimed by Steve Mandanda and cleared upfield. It was a warning, though, one that Marseille failed to heed - mere seconds later Wayne Rooney again had the ball and again Giggs was free on the left. Another chipped pass released the veteran, and Rooney then went on a lung-busting run to power in the the penalty box for the return.

Giggs found the striker with a simple pass, and Rooney was left free to advance into the area and fizz a low cross across the six-yard box. Mandanda was nowhere near the ball and the defenders failed to cut it out despite having an opportunity to come in on the slide, and Javier Hernandez was on hand to tap home at the far post. That's 1-0 to United, the first goal of the tie, and it also ensures that this match cannot go to extra time. Very, very bad start for the visiting side.
