**2 MINS **
**[Rooney][6] denied by Neuer**
With just 120 seconds on the clock, Shalke goalkeeper Manuel Neuer makes his
first fabulous save of the night, getting his fingertips to Wayne Rooney's
deflected shot from the corner of the area.
**4 MINS **
**Park tries his luck**
Ji-sung Park cuts in from the left wing, gets into the penalty area and shoots
low. Again Neuer makes a fine save and then denies Javier Hernandez before the
offside flag is raised.
**13 MINS **
**Schalke are cut open again**
This time it is Hernandez who beats the offside trap and finds himself one-on-
one with the keeper. He tries to slide the ball under Neuer's legs, but the
German gathers at the second attempt.
**21 MINS **
**Hernandez-Rooney combo**
Schalke give the ball away in midfield again and Rooney surges towards goal,
releasing his strike partner Hernandez. Instead of shooting, the Mexican tries
to slip the ball inside, and Schalke clear.
**26 MINS**
**Giggs header goes close**
Neuer comes to Schalke's rescue once more as Nemanja Vidic's cross is headed
back across goal by Ryan Giggs, but another fingertip save from the goalkeeper
keeps the ball out.
