After an empty first half, Alan
threatened to win with ease against United with a successful penalty at the
start of the second half. Robin van Persie, who replaced Danny Welbeck, found
the back of the net on the 80th minute to equalize.
Nuno Coelho’s unfair challenge
against Wayne Rooney enabled the England striker to take an 85th-minute penalty
that he took for himself to score. Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez rallied
towards the end by beating keeper Beto’s woodwork defence.
