Chelsea 1 Man Utd 1
CHE: Malouda (45') MU: Giggs (35')
(United win 3-0 on penalties)
Despite being only a charity event, fans from both camps got their ticket's worth as an exciting encounter unfolded between United and Chelsea for the FA Community Shield with United clinching it on penalties after goals from Ryan Giggs and Florent Malouda ended the match in a stalemate.The hero of the night however, would have to be veteran keeper Edwin Van Der Sar as his flawless performance in the penalty shootout single-handedly captured the Shield for a United squad missing the likes of Scholes, Neville and Saha. Another notable absentee was new signing Hargreaves who was thought to be included in the team sheet.
As much as the old superstition goes that the Shield is a jinx to it's holder for the season, it is hard to believe that such a curse would hold up judging from the gutsy performance that the United squad put up against an 'oil-rich' Chelsea team.
Football purists must have enjoyed the pace and aggression that was displayed in the match and everyone will surely now be salivating at the prospect of the EPL season kicking off next weekend as United take on Reading and the Blues take on newly-promoted Brimingham.
