He equilised for the Blues just minutes before the match.
In the second half more attacking display was shown by both the teams but both the teams were unable to score any goals. Finally, the match went to tie- breaker. Manchester United won the match thanks to the man of the match performance by Manchester United's goalie Edwin Van Der Sar. He saved three cruical penalties of Pizzaro, Lampard and Wright Phillips.
