Sportingbet – Manchester United and Stoke
Category: Uncategorized
Sportingbet.com.au – Saturday’s night game between Manchester United and Stoke would have many Man-U supporters deeming it a ‘cruisy’ game for their favorite team. It also saw the absent of many of Man-U main players such as Ryan Giggs, Rio Ferdinand and Wayne Rooney due to injuries. Despite of this ‘handicap’, United still managed a comfortable 5 – 0 win against Stoke.
Without a doubt, the star player for that night was Christiano Ronaldo. Man-U scored well ahead of their opponent when two free-kick opportunities were presented to them. Ask me who better than to take on this role? Yes, without a doubt, Christiano Ronaldo sealed 2 goals easier with his trademark kick, raising the challenge bar a notch higher than it already is.
But credits have to be given to Stoke’s players as they guarded their home goal fiercely. Stoke had no choice but to play the game in a defense mode, leaving their attacking attempts to near zero. The game started to take a turn, making it a one sided attack by Man-U as it saw a diminishing team effort by Stoke. What really broke the hopes of Stoke players was evident just before half time was up, as 2 goals, within a short time-frame, was scored by United.
Manchester United is now on to the next round for this Premier League Season.
