In the 45th minute, Chelsea almost equalized the score. Drogba made a pass from the left, and the ball bounced off the right post after being blocked by Torres. Lampard quickly caught up with the ejection into the empty goal, but Evra passed the ball on the goal line. Make a clearance and try to keep Manchester United's goal intact.
At the end of the first half, Chelsea, playing at home, was temporarily trailing Manchester United 0:1.
The competition between the two sides on the court was extremely fierce, and the second half of the game will undoubtedly be more eye-catching.

——
Accompanied by Elena, Xiao Yu had arrived at the medical center that Chelsea cooperated with and further disinfected and bandaged the wound.
Seeing Xiao Yu's painful expression, Elena couldn't help but hold his hand tightly and comfort him softly.
Experts at the medical center conducted an in-depth examination of Xiao Yu's wound. They carefully cleaned the dirt around the wound and then rinsed the wound thoroughly with disinfectant.
Xiao Yu lay quietly on the treatment table, recalling his past life experiences.
In that era when there were no professional grass fields, he and his friends often played football on uneven land, and their legs were always covered with scars.
However, they did not complain too much at that time, but regarded these scars as a symbol of their love and dedication to football.
Now, as a professional player with a formal contract, Xiao Yu enjoys a more professional and comfortable playing environment.
However, this also means that he must cherish his body more and accept more rigorous treatment and examination.
He understands that as a professional player, staying healthy is the most important thing.
What surprised Xiao Yu was that his club, Chelsea owner Abramovich, also rushed to the medical center in person.
He showed great concern for Xiao Yu's injury and kept asking the doctor about Xiao Yu's injury and treatment plan.
Abu's regard for Xiao Yu made Xiao Yu feel both honored and responsible.
He knows that in order to move him to Chelsea, Abramovich spent more than 100 million, which is an important part of Chelsea's recruitment.
Therefore, he must recover as soon as possible and return to the court to contribute to the team.
We continue to draw our attention back to Stamford Bridge.
The second half of the game has already begun, and neither coach nor the coach made any personnel adjustments.
In the 48th minute, Rafael bravely tried to intercept Drogba's attack, but Drogba's strength caused him to fall to the ground in pain.
Despite prompt emergency treatment by medical staff, Rafael was unable to continue playing due to his injury.
In this case, Ferguson sent Nani, replaced Rafael who could not persist in the game, and also made some adjustments to the formation.
I have to say that Drogba is an absolutely ruthless person. He remembered that Rafael tackled Xiao Yu in the first half. This time sending Rafael off the field was considered as a favor to Manchester United.
While there has been speculation that this may have been intentional, there is no conclusive evidence to support this claim.
In football matches, physical confrontations are inevitable, and this confrontation between Drogba and Rafael is just one of them.
Just 1 minute later, Drogba made a precise pass from the right. Toni Kroos jumped up in the penalty area and headed the ball towards the top. Unfortunately, the ball missed the goal slightly.
In the 53rd minute, Nani's long-range shot attempt about 25 meters away from the goal was firmly confiscated by Chelsea goalkeeper Cech and failed to pose a threat to Manchester United's goal.
One minute later, Drogba won a free kick on the right side of the frontcourt, but Chelsea's offense failed to put substantial pressure on Manchester United's defense.
In the 57th minute, Lampard accurately took advantage of the corner kick opportunity to cross. Drogba tried an overhead shot from the left side of the penalty area, but unfortunately the ball deviated slightly from the far post.
Three minutes later, Toni Kroos accidentally tripped Evra who broke through with the ball while defending. The referee did not hesitate to show him a yellow card.
"It seems that Xiao Yu's injury has indeed had a big impact on Chelsea's defense. Toni Kroos's defensive actions seemed a bit impatient this time, which may be related to his attempt to fill the gap left by Xiao Yu's absence." Zhan Jun also sighed.
"Yes, Xiao Yu's departure undoubtedly put pressure on Chelsea's defensive end. Cross may be trying to make up for this flaw through more active defense, but the risk of such an action is indeed high. Once the opponent is Seizing the opportunity may bring greater trouble to the team." Zhang Lu was also worried about Chelsea.
In the 66th minute, Essien committed a tactical foul on Carrick, and the Ghanaian was also shown a yellow card by the referee.
In the 70th minute of the game, Drogba created a chance for Chelsea by returning a header, but Essien's long shot from outside the penalty area again missed slightly.
Subsequently, Chelsea made a personnel adjustment.
Anelka was used to replace Drogba, who had already played cruelly many times.
In the 74th minute, Vidic fouled and was shown a yellow card by the referee. Both central defenders received yellow cards, which also sounded the alarm for Manchester United's defense.
Just 1 minute later, Bosingwa made a precise pass from the right, and Torres flicked his head from the left side of the penalty area. Van der Sar flew to save the ball and saved Manchester United's lead.
In the 78th minute, Hernandez was replaced by Berbatov, and Chelsea also replaced Bosingwa with Mikel. Both sides were adjusting for the final victory.
Two minutes later, Van der Sar was shown a yellow card for delaying time, which made Manchester United's situation even more serious.
Subsequently, Ferdinand fouled Zhirkov and Chelsea got a free kick at the front of the penalty area.
However, Lampard's shot was firmly received by Edwin van der Sar, and Chelsea missed an excellent opportunity to equalize the score.
In the 85th minute, Ivanovic took the ball to the front of the penalty area and his shot was confiscated by Edwin van der Sar again. Chelsea's attack once again failed.
In stoppage time, Evra tripped Toni Kroos in the penalty area, but the referee refused to award a penalty kick, which caused great dissatisfaction among Chelsea players and fans.
Subsequently, Torres fell in the penalty area, but the referee thought he had fallen and gave a warning.
In the end, the game ended. Chelsea, playing at home, lost to Manchester United 0:1 and suffered a defeat.
Despite the best efforts of Chelsea players, they still could not save the defeat.
The defeat in this game also made Chelsea's situation in advancing to the Champions League more serious.
