Ultimate League Week 1: Manchester Utd vs Chelsea

[Admin]

Good evening one and all and welcome to the first match of the first Ultimate League season! Tonight we have a cracker for you, Manchester United vs Chelsea at Old Trafford! United have finally managed to click as a team after their last friendly match against Sunderland, and Chelsea are without question one of the favourites to win the league if they can keep their current form after the pre-season fixtures. Let's take you to highlights of that game right now!

Kicking us off tonight is...

• United.[dice=10](8)
  
• Chelsea.[dice=10](3)
  

It's United who start us off, and the crowd are pumped and really behind their team tonight!

9 minutes: The referee's spotted something he doesn't like, and has awarded a free kick to...

• United.[dice=10](8)
  
• Chelsea.[dice=10](4)
  

The foul was committed by a Chelsea player, free kick to the home side in their own half. Defender Steere is going to take it as the set play isn't in a position to cause their visitors any problems, and he hits the ball up field along the ground for Obregon and Whitley to fight for.

Obregon pace(2) + technique(2) + [dice=10](5)

Whitley pace(5) + technique(10) + [dice=10](9)

Whitley easily takes control of the ball, and hits it wide to Torres who's moved out from his central position. He gets forwards and looks to lift an early cross over the head of Holt...

Torres technique(3) + crossing(2) + [dice=10](2)

Holt jumping(1) + heading(8) + [dice=10](9)

Holt's total of 18 to Torres' 7 easily allows him to cut out the pass and clear the ball to safety. We're a little over 10 minutes into the game and neither team has looked particularly convincing going forwards.

23 minutes: On the ball now is...

• United's Bilic.[dice=10](3)
  
• Chelsea's Roberts.[dice=10](9)
  
• United's Primm.[dice=10](6)
  
• Chelsea's Mendes.[dice=10](10)
  

Chelsea's charismatic talisman Mendes is on the ball here, and United are quick off the mark to put as many men behind the ball as possible. Newall leads the defensive charge and comes in for a tackle...

• Newall fouls Mendes.[dice=10](7)
  
• Newall attempts a fair challenge.[dice=10](4)
  

Newall's tackle is mistimed, causing Mendes to go down in a heap about 30 yards out. It looks like he's going to be OK... yes, he's fine, a look of worry crept across the face of Jose Mourinho for a second there.

Mendes steps up to take the free kick, even he's not going to chance it from this distance. He floats in the free kick, and new boy Geison is going to try and get on the end of this with his head! Muro's not going to let that happen without a fight though!

Geison pace(8) + technique(8) + heading(4) + [dice=10](5)

Muro Pace(2) + composure(4) + tackling(5) + [dice=10](7)

Geison completely out-paces the 31 year old, and his total of 25 means he heads it directly towards goal!

Harper diving(5) + composure(7) + punching(8) + [dice=10](9)

It's 29 from Harper allowing him to punch it well out of danger! Good save!

39 minutes:

It's gone out for a throw here, but who to?

• United.[dice=10](2)
  
• Chelsea.[dice=10](3)
  

It's gone in Chelsea's favour, and Torres looks around for a team mate to throw the ball to...

• Torres throws it to Mendes.[dice=10](5)
  
• Torres throws it to Roberts.[dice=10](4)
  
• Torres throws it long to Ramon.[dice=10](2)
  

It's a throw to Mendes here, who's looking to take on all comers as he's quickly developing a reputation for doing, and Newall is cautiously attempting a tackle!

Mendes dribbling(9) + technique(9) + [dice=10](4)

Newall composure(2) + tackling(7) + [dice=10](6)

Mendes takes it past him like he wasn't even there, and he's now heading towards the penalty area at full steam! What's he goig to do here?

• Mendes attempts a shot.[dice=10](6)
  
• Mendes passes to Ramon.[dice=10](3)
  

Mendes is going for goal here with Steere standing 10 yards off him and looking to block the shot...

Mendes technique(9) + finishing(6) + [dice=10]

Steere jumping(5) + heading(3) + [dice=10]

Mendes gets a 22 and Steer 18, it's travelling straight for goal!

Harper diving(5) + catching(7) + [dice=10](6)

It's only an 18 from Harper!!! IT'S IN!! MENDES HAS SCORED A WONDERFUL GOAL FOR CHELSEA!!!

45 minutes: And that's the end of the first half, it's Manchester United nil, Chelsea one.

Second half coming soon[rand=72733909185963469124313552695841626094512220985416463574719105034]

Welcome back to the second half ladies and gentlemen, we're about ready to kick off here with Chelsea restarting the match.

58 minutes: On the ball now is...

• A United Player.[dice=10](3)
  
• A Chelsea player.[dice=10](3)
  

It's anybody's ball here, being contested between Primm of United and Roberts of Chelsea...

Primm pace(10) + technique(2) + [dice=10](4)

Roberts pace(5) + technique(7) + [dice=10](5)

It's Roberts who just about gets the ball, and he's charging forwards at speed!

• Roberts attempts a through ball to Ramon.[dice=10](8)
  
• Roberts takes on the defence himself.[dice=10](7)
  
• Roberts shoots from distance.[dice=10](9)
  

It's Roberts with the shot which Hayes needs to deal with...

Roberts technique(4) + finishing(3) + [dice=10](7)

Hayes jumping(9) + heading(6) + [dice=10](2)

It's Hayes who deals with the threat, well defended!

70 minutes: Poyet is coming on for Roberts, and the team is reshuffling themselves by putting Mendes in a deeper position and Poyet where Mendes just was.

On the ball now is an attacking player, it's...

• United's Biles.[dice=10](6)
  
• Chelsea's Poyet.[dice=10](8)
  
• United's Mallard.[dice=10](4)
  
• Chelsea's Geisen.[dice=10](9)
  

It's Geisen here, and here comes the challenge from Muro...

• Muro commits the foul.[dice=10](5)
  
• Muro makes a fair challenge.[dice=10](4)
  

He's brought him down in Mendes territory! This is going to be interesting, and he places the ball down with authority!

Cristiano Mendes free kick (8) + technique(9) + [dice=10](6)

Harper diving(5) + punching(8) + [dice=10](3)

Mendes with 26! Harper with 16! MENDES HAS SCORED HIS SECOND GOAL FOR CHELSEA!!

90 minutes: There's the final whistle, it's Manchester United nil, Chelsea two!

(I can't apologise enough for rushing the second half, something's come up regarding a potential job and I really, really need to sort it out while it's still available)[rand=22347686158284352602705275946102276531744875553594154931210048657]
