00:00The third match in Group B saw Romario and Vasco da Gama up against Manchester United.
00:04United without the suspended David Beckham following his dismissal against Nkaksa.
00:09Many felt this match would decide the Group B winners.
00:18Nicely taken down on the halfway line.
00:21Vasco da Gama perhaps just settling a little better than Manchester United.
00:25It was a mistake here by Gary Neville and there could well be a problem here for Manchester United.
00:30It's Romario and it's 1-0 Vasco da Gama.
00:36Terrible mistake by Gary Neville though.
00:40And 73,000 fans go wild in the MaracanĂ£ Stadium.
00:44Neville with a back pass which even cut out his own man, Yapstan, there.
00:49And Edmundo might well have scored himself and selfishly he plays it off for Romario and it's 1-0.
01:00Well, it's not the start that Sir Alex Ferguson and Manchester United wanted.
01:04Here's Jorginho.
01:08Long ball through the middle.
01:09Neville, he's made another mistake.
01:11Romario's in a second time.
01:14He does not miss those.
01:16And Romario, so often the scourge of Manchester United during his Barcelona days, has given Vasco da Gama a two
01:25-goal lead on 26 minutes.
01:27But what was Gary Neville thinking about?
01:30He's a defender who rarely makes mistakes.
01:33He's made two in two minutes.
01:35And the game may be won and lost already.
01:38Two for Romario, two for Vasco da Gama.
01:43Philippe, and Philippe again, he could make it three here.
01:47And Bosnich keeps it out at full stretch.
01:51Nicely orchestrated by Philippe.
01:54He played the 1-2, he hit the shot and thwarted by Bosnich.
02:04Gilberto has a little bit of space this time.
02:06In towards Edmundo, and Edmundo, a lovely little touch from him.
02:11An exquisite goal.
02:14Well, that was a wonderful touch from Edmundo.
02:18And Vasco da Gama are tearing Manchester United to shreds.
02:22But look at that for dexterity.
02:25Edmundo completely confounding the Manchester United defence.
02:29Perhaps the best goal of the tournament so far, and it's 3-0.
02:39Manchester United in this second half for seeking a way back into the game.
02:44Sheringham may give them one.
02:45It was a nice little chip and a nice idea from Teddy Sheringham.
02:52Juninho.
02:54Cut out this time.
02:57But the wide player is Ryan Giggs, who's got the pace.
03:02Still Giggs goes on, and cuts one back in here.
03:06It's Sheringham, and Sheringham puts the ball in the net,
03:09but the referee says no goal.
03:11And I think to add insult to injury,
03:13he will show a yellow card to Teddy Sheringham as well.
03:17Foul on the goalkeeper.
03:19Well, it's rare a player gets away with this.
03:21It's Giggs cutting the ball back.
03:23Did well to do so.
03:25And Helton had the ball taken out of his grasp.
03:28No goal.
03:35York, and a delightful little touch from him.
03:37Might be something this time for Manchester United.
03:41Sheringham with the cutback.
03:43Here's Dwight York.
03:44Oh, and he scuffs it wide.
03:46That was a good opening for the Trinidad and Tobagon.
03:54Manchester United still searching for a toehold in the game.
03:58Well, it's come late on, but Nicky Butt gets a goal for them.
04:01Little emotion shown.
04:03It may well be too little too late.
04:06But Roy Keane has made the move to the back post here.
04:09And manages critically to get the ball back.
04:12And it's a simple tap-in for Butt.
04:17Well, the fans very happy with Vasco da Gama.
04:21But Manchester United and Gary Neville, a bad night.
04:26Manchester United are a great team.
04:28But today, from the first minute, Vasco imposed themselves.
04:31And thank God, in the end, we won the three points.
04:33That's the important thing.
04:35We didn't play well enough.
04:36A couple of mistakes, and you're out of the tournament
04:38against world-class players.
04:40It's one of the good chances, to be fair.
04:42But they still have got to take them.
04:43And against players like Romero and Ed Mundo,
04:47they're top players.
04:48They're going to punish you.
04:49But life goes on.
