Manchester United have finally beaten Manuel Neuer in the Schalke goal! Amazing. Unfortunately for Javier 'Chicharito' Hernandez, he is adjudged to be offside before controlling a deflected shot and smashing past Neuer after the whistle had gone. It was a neat finish by Chicharito, and they'll be pleased to have finally got a ball past Neuer, but he was indeed offside and so justice has been done in disallowing the goal.
Schalke 04 Vs. Manchester United, 2011 UEFA Champions League: Javier ‘Chicharito’ Hernandez Goal Called Back For Offside
At the other end of the pitch, Jose Manuel Jurado volleys well wide after a ball broke loose in Edwin van der Sar’s area - that was a real chance and a warning for the United defence, who were more or less asleep there. That faint hope hasn’t really counted for anything as far as Ralf Rangnick is concern, and the Schalke manager has made a move, yanking off Alexander Baumjohann for Peer Kluge. Greame Souness informs us that it can’t possibly be a tactical substitution as it’s the 52nd minute, which, well, okay then.
