Then the line-ups of both sides were broadcast live:

Blackburn Rovers line-up (4-4-2): Friedel; Neil, Todd, Nelson, Gray; Bentley, Savic, Tugaj, Pederson; Kutch, Bellamy

Man Utd line-up (4-3-3): Edwin van der Sar; Brown, Nemanja Vidic, Pique, Patrice Evra; Park Ji-sung, Scholes, Ryan Giggs; Fletcher, Fangzhuo Dong, Rossi

"Judging by Blackburn's lineup, Hughes is going to fight his old club. The competition is definitely not easy! ”

Rheinkohl smelled war.

Manchester United suffered a humiliating draw with Burn in the FA Cup, and Blackburn Rovers have fielded most of their squad in the Carabao Cup, with new signing Patrice Evra also starting in the winter.

The Blackburn Rovers boss replaced Dickov with Kuchi in the starting line-up. Manchester United eliminated Blackburn Rovers in the 2003 Carabao Cup, but in the last four meetings, Blackburn have the upper hand with 3 wins and 1 defeat.

It's a terrible head-to-head record, and United are still at a loss, winning the first leg of this season's league meeting.

Blackburn had a chance just 24 seconds after the opening kick-off, when former Arsenal midfielder Bentley crossed from near the left side of the penalty area and Savic's left-footed volley from 10 yards down the middle was brilliantly blocked by Van der Sar with his legs.

"Sure enough, Blackburn shouldn't be booed."

Blackburn missed another chance in the fifth minute when Pederson's cross from the left was met by Fletcher, who had come back to make a difference, and Bentley at the far post was also missed from six yards in front of goal.

"Almost, Manchester United will concede two goals first!"

The frightened Manchester United did not stabilize their position until the 9th minute, and although the defense was still unreliable, the attack was still sharp!

New signing Patrice Evra shifted a long diagonal pass from the left, Fletcher burst into the right side of the penalty area near the bottom line and returned the pass, followed by Dong Fangzhuo on the right side of the penalty area 14 yards out with his right foot.

“goal！”

"Dong, he's now in the scoring blowout period."

'He scored in the Carabao Cup, too.

"Nelson and Todd still haven't learned their lesson, haven't they seen what happened to Campbell and Colo Toure? Isn't it over if this ball is rushed up by China Dong? ”

Blackburn Rovers coach Hughes immediately yelled on the sidelines, his temper was rather short-tempered. In his opinion, the central defenders are two pigs!

United took the lead comfortably and then continued to put pressure on Blackburn.

In the 15th minute, Rossi from the left crossed, Dong Fangzhuo grabbed the landing point and swung back, Scholes fired a low shot from 20 yards in the middle, but it was confiscated by Friedel.

Then Blackburn Rovers immediately counter-attacked, Bentley crossed from the left, Pique headed the ball out, but the ball fell in front of Bellamy, and Bellamy's half-volley from the edge of the left side of the box!

Knock –

Van der Sar's save was beautiful, but the ball flew into the corner.

“goooooal!”

“onderful!”

“1:1。”

"Blackburn was reluctant to surrender, and Bellamy staged an aesthetic of violence."

Manchester United are certainly not showing weakness and they continue to step up their attack. The two sides made a big move in midfield.

In the 30th minute, Scholes quickly counterattacked with the ball in the middle, and then cleverly passed through, the unguarded Rossi burst into the penalty area, Todd left Dong Fangzhuo to block him, but Rossi cleverly buckled, dodged his block, and then Nelson also ran over, but Rossi knocked Dong Fangzhuo, who shot hard from 16 yards on the right side of the penalty area.

"Oh, is this another hat-trick?"

"Rossi could have hit the goal, but chose to pass the ball to the captain."

“2:1！”

In the 33rd minute, Bellamy was dissatisfied with the penalty and was yellow carded.

The United fans didn't have to rejoice for long, as Blackburn Rovers equalised again in the 36th minute when Nelson's long pass down the left was met by Kutch's header, and Pederson got rid of Brown before firing a right-footed shot into the far corner from 12 yards out on the left side of the box.

The score became 2:2.

"It's another big game!"

In the 37th minute, there was a violent shot, Scholes made a tackle in front, but the referee did not give a penalty, Blackburn also tried to intercept with a tackle at the back, Scholes was tackled, and Savage and Fletcher also fell to the side.

At this time, Fletcher suddenly punched Savage, who was lying under him, Scholes also moved on the side, and referee Sdales also fell to the ground when he persuaded him to fight. After Fletcher and Scholes were persuaded to leave, Savage lay on the ground in pain, Bentley and Brown came up close to making another move, and finally Fletcher, Scholes and Savage were all booked. But Savage, who did nothing about it, protested the referee's decision......

The referee ignored it and resumed play.

Savic's free-kick from the left was cleared by Nemanja Vidic, and Pedelsen's first-time volley from just outside the edge of the box was parried by Van der Sar.

United immediately counter-attacked, with Ryan Giggs passing to Rossi, but Neil knocked down the fast-breaking latter in front of the box, and Giggs' free-kick from 25 yards on the left struck Bentley's shoulder and deflected just over the crossbar.

Ryan Giggs then whipped in a corner from the left and Dong was sandwiched between Todd and Nelson, but he still managed to grab a header from seven yards out, but his powerless header was denied by Friedel.

Todd and Nelson looked at each other, very helpless to Dong Fangzhuo.

The two sides fought 2:2 at half-time, and Ferguson couldn't hold back any longer, allowing Ronaldo and Rooney to appear at the same time, removing Fletcher and Rossi, and Manchester United's attack continued to strengthen.

At the beginning of the second half, Park Ji-sung broke the ball in midfield and stuffed the ball directly to Dong Fangzhuo, who passed to Rooney diagonally, and the latter's powerful shot from 25 yards on the left was deflected.

Blackburn missed another chance in the 49th minute when Bellamy broke down the middle and the unguarded Kutch fired a powerful shot wide of the near corner from 16 yards out on the right side of the box.

"Manchester United's luck is not ordinary!"

It was Dong Fangzhuo who solved the problem, and Nelson passed the ball to Tugaj.

Dong Fangzhuo took the first step to cut off the ball, and then stuffed the ball to Cristiano Ronaldo on the right, Ronaldo burst into the left rib of the penalty area and pushed the far corner from 14 yards, but Blackburn's goalkeeper was quite brave and held the ball out with one palm with his right hand.

Park Ji-sung quickly rushed to the side to get the ball and crossed again!

Rooney nodded the ball in front of the penalty area, Ronaldo attracted the defense in the middle, and the ball fell to the feet of Dong Fangzhuo, who grabbed the inside of his left foot before Nelson and pushed it instep.

"Hat!"

"It's crazy!"

"Two hat-tricks in a row!"

Taking the lead again, Ferguson immediately replaced Ryan Giggs with Smith......

After that, the pace of the game continued to be fast-paced, but it went into a stalemate.

Smith and Park Ji-sung swept the midfield, and Blackburn's fitness declined and he was unable to continue to organize an effective attack.

But after Smith burst into the box and was picked up by a fouler, Friedel had no intention of breaking the back of his head, and he was forced off the field to receive treatment.

Taking advantage of this time, Blackburn launched a crazy attack after making substitutions!

In the 81st minute, Bentley crossed from the right, Kuchi rushed to the top from 16 yards on the left side of the penalty area, and Pique watched the team equalize!

3:3！

Ferguson fielded all the main players, but in the end it was Blackburn Rover.

In the end, the two sides drew 3-3 and ended the first leg.

"Dong scored 3, but still couldn't bring a victory to the team......"

"When hat-wearing becomes a habit, it means that he has become a good striker......"
