It was really a great game. Full of drama do to the sending off of Lehman but that forced Arsenal to play with heart and energy. They almost came through. Henry did
have a chance to seal the game with a one on one, but missed. Ronaldinho
was a bit off but still showed a few flashes of brilliance. A great pass
to Etoo when he was posting up, but the keeper, who just game on, made a
tremendous save. Unfortunately, with
the sending off, one player had to go off, and that was the French man, Pires.
A few substitutions by Rijkaard were wise. Larson, always a class player,
who plays so simply, made two great passes
that led to both goals. The other substitutes, Iniesta and Belletti (who scored), were obviously
valuable. See the highlights:
