00:00The opening moments.
00:03Josef Kozle.
00:09He was a leading goal scorer, as you were saying there, Clive,
00:12last season, this boy, and an early threat from him.
00:15Little flick header, looked him get it in at the back post.
00:19Zmaras corner short for Sovic.
00:24Zmaras again.
00:25Kozle was in there again, and Schmeichel did just about enough.
00:30That was a wicked cross.
00:33Irwin.
00:37Scholes, that's nice for Cole.
00:39He's got Irwin in support. It's Dennis Irwin.
00:43It's there!
00:45Squeezed through the legs of the goalkeeper.
00:47And Manchester United have the lead inside half an hour.
00:52And Dennis Irwin scores his first goal in Europe,
00:55and his first goal, in fact, since the opening day of last season.
00:59Beautifully constructed.
01:00Well, it was beautifully constructed, laid on by Cole.
01:03I thought Dennis should have hit it the first time when he ran onto it.
01:06But he took a couple of touches at it,
01:08brought the goalkeeper in the near post,
01:10and I think the ball went right through, right underneath him there.
01:14A nice little layoff, wasn't it, by Cole?
01:18That's when I thought he should have hit it.
01:19He took another couple of strikes and threw the goalkeeper's legs.
01:26Kossak.
01:28There's a chance for Rusnak to run with the ball.
01:32He came on here as a substitute against Spartak Moscow
01:36and rattled the crossbar within a minute of his arrival.
01:39Quite an explosive young forward.
01:42What Manchester United mustn't do is allow Pesicci to build up the kind of head of steam
01:47they had in the first half again.
01:48And here's Kozli into Rusnak again.
01:50He's away from Palace, is he?
01:51Was he pulled down?
01:52No, he's a referee.
01:53I tell you what, I think Gary Pels is a bit fortunate there.
01:56That was a penalty kick without a doubt.
01:58I mean, Gary got a hold of his jersey.
02:00I'd lost the ball in the collision and just pulled him back.
02:06I'll tell you something else, too.
02:07If he'd been penalised, I think he would have had to walk.
02:13The break for Manchester United.
02:15Maybe the replay will tell us different,
02:17but my instincts were that Pallister impeded him.
02:21Here is Rusnak.
02:22Back to Kozli.
02:23He's not side flag now,
02:25which is just as well because the Bull has struck Heddingberg's arm.
02:29The Swedish referee is.
02:32I mean, I cannot believe you've got a linesman and a referee in either of the two of them saw
02:37that.
02:38And now Skulls.
02:43Against another chance by Beckham.
02:46Now Butt.
02:47And Skulls.
02:48Paul Skulls!
02:50Instinctive save, Beckham!
02:52Blocked by Telek.
02:53Headed by Cole.
02:54Held by the keeper, Monarch.
02:58Roy Keane.
03:01David Beckham.
03:03A little bit too high for Karol Poborski.
03:07Picks up Poborski.
03:09And Cole is there.
03:10And Skulls is there!
03:12Off the post!
03:12Cole!
03:14Oh dear, he won't want to see that again.
03:17Well, Andy Cole.
03:20What a chance!
03:22Well, Andy Cole.
03:30What a chance!
03:45The goal for Manchester United has doubled their lead and maybe assured victory in the first match of this Champions
03:54League campaign.
03:56Well, Beckham whips in the free kick.
03:58Goes beyond everybody to the back post.
04:00Heading bare.
04:02I think it just sort of hit and dropped down nicely and it went.
04:05A little bit of a break for them.
04:09Cole's in there challenging the goal.
04:10You can see there when it just hits some drops down.
04:15The man in possession here was the leading scorer in Slovakia last season.
04:19The season before last and the season before that.
04:22Here he is playing in the back three.
04:24They have lost a couple of defenders to injury and suspension.
04:28That's a useful ball from Svara.
04:30And here's Yonoczko.
04:32And Schmeichel's committed.
04:33And Schmeichel's recovered.
04:35And Yonoczko looks for the referee and he says nothing doing.
04:38Good goalkeeping.
04:39Terrific goalkeeping.
04:40Read the switch to United.
04:42Well, certainly I would think a below par performance.
04:44But, you know, I could be delighted at the fact that they've got themselves a victory.
04:50Leclerc trying to set up.
04:51Cole!
04:52That'll do!
04:54Andy Cole gobbles up a third.
04:56With just a couple of minutes to go.
04:59And that smile will be reflected.
05:02On the face of everybody with Manchester United at heart tonight.
05:06Well, I'm delighted he's got a goal because, you know, having missed a couple of sitters.
05:10You know, people would have been talking about that tomorrow and saying, you know, Cole missed the sitters.
05:14But at least the lad gets himself one here.
05:16And takes it very nicely too.
05:20Comes back to him, in fact, off the defender.
05:26Oh, there he goes.
05:26Yes.
05:26You're not going to be there.
05:27No.
