After the goal was born, the tempo of both sides picked up sharply, and both teams showed their own housekeeping skills, and staged a battle of attacks in the latter part of the first half.

Arsenal insisted on their good quality of quick passing, and the attack was like mercury.

Manchester United, on the other hand, are simple and straightforward, as long as they get the ball, they will quickly advance to the front court, and then continue to attack, creating a threat to the Gunners' defence.

The two teams went back and forth on the field, playing extremely lively, and the continuous rapid offensive and defensive transitions made the fans on both sides in the stands also addicted and excited.

In the 21st minute, Arsenal played a delicate team match in the front, and the football passed back and forth between Rosicky, Arshavin and Van Persie, and finally Van Persie seized the opportunity and volleyed directly in front of the big penalty area, and the football bypassed Van der Sar, but it was a little unlucky, and the football grazed the post and went out of the bottom line.

Manchester United players and fans broke out in a cold sweat.

In the 26th minute, Arsenal created another good chance to score, this time by the defender Abou. Diabi. The French midfielder, hailed as Vieira's successor, has shown great talent since joining Arsenal, but his development has never met people's expectations due to injuries, and compared to his predecessor Vieira, his performance is also extremely inconsistent, sometimes solid and fierce in defense, sometimes he will make amateur low-level mistakes, sometimes he can score amazing goals, sometimes he can miss great scoring opportunities.

The game has been going on for more than 20 minutes, but Diaby did not have much eye-catching, and it can even be said that he seemed to disappear from the field, and just when even the Arsenal players ignored this teammate, Diaby's "nerve knife" problem was committed again, it was not a very good offensive opportunity, Diaby was incredibly stunned to create a threat, Nasri's dribbling was destroyed by Carrick, Diaby suddenly plugged in from behind and rushed to the ball, facing the football is a very unreasonable volley.

At this time, the football was nearly 35 meters away from the goal, no one expected that Diaby would be so "nervous", and what is even more unbelievable is that this seemingly brainless random cannon almost broke through Manchester United's goal - the football rushed forward like a cannonball, bypassing the players on both sides, and rushing straight to the goal, and when Van der Sar reacted, the football was already in front.

Van der Sar didn't have time to make a save, so he could only surrender, but he didn't expect that the home goal helped a lot, a dull sound sounded, the football hit the crossbar, and then bounced back into the penalty area, Van der Sar subconsciously fell to the ground to save the ball, with a frightened face.

'A great chance for Arsenal to score, a powerful shot from French midfielder Diaby ......'

"No matter how you look at it, it's a lucky shot, but it's so threatening, look at the trajectory of football, there is a ...... Oh my God, the ball hit the crossbar! ”

"Incredible! Incredible! Van der Sar has given up his resistance, but the goal is on the side of the home side, and Manchester United had good luck today! ”

'Unlucky, Arsenal were only a few centimeters away from scoring!'

There was an exclamation in the commentary seat, and on the field, Diaby was even more depressed and jumped to his feet.

Arsene Wenger was already on his feet and raised his hands to cheer, and when he saw that the football was blocked by the crossbar, the professor lowered his arms and sat back in the dugout with regret on his face.

Ferguson, on the other hand, had two eyelids to the ground, and he was also taken aback by Arsenal's shot, and he was slightly relieved to see the football being pressed under Cech.

However, Lord Ferguson did not say anything, although Arsenal's attack is threatening, but Manchester United is also not bad, and it is not surprising that such a situation will appear in the attack.

After conceding the goal, Arsenal stepped up their attacking efforts and created a number of scoring chances, but United also put a lot of pressure on the visitors' defence with quick and direct attacks.

Three minutes after Arsenal hit the crossbar, United immediately made a powerful response with a fast attack, also from the flank, Van Bizhuang retreated from the front line, received Scholes's pass and went straight to the bottom line, and then sent the ball into the box, Berbatov in front of the goal successfully grabbed the first point, he rubbed the ball to Carrick in the back row, Carrick shot vigorously from outside the box, Arsenal goalkeeper Almunia narrowly saved the ball from the bottom line.

From the ensuing corner, United grabbed the first point again, but Van Bizhuang's header was too angled and was guarded by Almunia standing in the middle of the goal, and the football was confiscated.

In the 33rd minute, Manchester United made a comeback, Diaby's ball in the midfield was not decisive enough, and Kaka stabbed the ball away from behind, and then the Brazilian went straight up and made a long diagonal pass to find Fan Bizhuang in the penalty area, under the interference of Vermaelen, Fan Bizhuang, who could not easily turn around, nudged the ball to Berbatov on the left side of his body, and the Bulgarian striker raised his foot to shoot, but the shot from close range hit the leg of the opposing goalkeeper and popped up the bottom line.

Manchester United missed the chance to extend their lead!

"Manchester United are on the offensive and they want to extend the score as soon as possible and establish the advantage of the game!"

'Arsenal are not a good bone to gnaw on, a one-goal lead is not safe to win games and United are trying to keep looking for chances to score!'

"The two teams staged a battle on the field, from the field, both teams are half-hearted, everyone has a chance to score, now let's see, whether Manchester United extend the score, or Arsenal who are playing away to erase the difference......"

As the two teams' offensive drama intensified, the two managers also couldn't sit still, every time they saw their team have a chance to score, they would be extremely nervous, and seeing the opponent's attack hit their own hinterland, they were also nervous - the two teams you go back and forth, you punch me, I kick you, the process and rhythm of the game is fast and direct, just like a roller coaster, thrilling.

Both veterans are well aware that the game is moving towards an uncontrollable trend, and in this fast-paced battle, who can score first will be crucial to morale and confidence. They can only hope that in the little first half time remaining, their side will be able to seize their chances and extend (tie) the score.

The coaches waved and shouted from the sidelines, the players collided violently on the pitch, and the buzz in the stadium turned Old Trafford into a hot furnace.

In the fierce and fast attack, time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it had come to the end of the first half.

After a long period of high-intensity running and sprinting, the physical fitness of the players of both teams is declining very quickly, in this case, the scene is still anxious, but the players of both teams have to suspend the pace of attack, and change to control the ball - both sides are very clear that although the game is lively, but at this time period, no one can help anyone, and it is difficult to have another goal in the first half.

'Manchester United slowed down the tempo of the attack, almost half an hour of high-intensity running, the players were physically exhausted, and they really needed to breathe a sigh of relief.

'Arsenal also don't seem to be in a hurry to move forward quickly after winning the ball, they face the same problems as Manchester United...... It looks like the first half will end with a score of 1:0......"

"I believe this is only temporary, after fifteen minutes of rest and adjustment at halftime, in the second half, the two teams are bound to continue to stage a big battle!"

The commentators talked a lot, and some even made a judgment, and the first half will end with a score of 1:0.

In fact, not only them, but also the fans on both sides in the stands and the coaches on the sidelines can see the situation at the moment.

But the football field is always full of variables and accidents, both teams began to stay and prepare for the second half, but they did not expect that the entire first half except for a strong long-range shot against the crossbar, the rest of the time was lackluster, Diaby, destined to play the "nerve knife" characteristics vividly in this game.

In the 44th minute, Arsenal unhurriedly controlled the football in midfield, and as they watched the end of the half, Arsenal launched their final attack in the final period.

United's defensive formation was tight, and Arsenal, who couldn't find a good chance, had to pass back and forth from outside the box, and when the ball fell to Diaby's feet, the French midfielder picked up the ball and raised his foot again and fired the ball into the box with an unexpected shot on the spot.

"Diaby shoots—"

Almost twenty-five metres from goal, the French midfielder suddenly fired again...... It seems that Diaby is trying to hit the big luck today and hit the bottom! ”

Diaby's shot was not tricky, but it was sudden enough and full of power that Van der Sar reacted quickly but did not dare to hold the ball with his hands, he moved his feet quickly, and then punched the ball with both hands.

The football that was played was flying towards Evra on the left side of the penalty area, Evra raised his foot and was ready to meet the football landing point to clear the siege, but he didn't expect Van Persie to be faster, he had already judged the football landing point, he approached quickly, stunned to grab the ball before Evra's kick, poked the ball away, caught up with the football in three or two steps, and did not give the defender any reaction time, the Dutch center forward took his left foot and volleyed directly with his left foot on the left side of the penalty area.

This was a surprise to everyone, and when the United players turned around, a strange suspicion had already crossed in mid-air, and Van der Sar flew to save, but it was useless in front of the high-quality defoliating ball.

The ball fluttered into the bottom right corner of the goal!

The score became 1:1! In the last minute of the first half, Arsenal equalised!

The hustle and bustle of Old Trafford fell silent for a moment, leaving everyone stunned, and a moment later, the cheers and screams of the few away fans dominated the stands.
