They did nothing wrong, really. They scored a deserved, gutsy goal. They defended, for the most part, like the Manchester United of old.
They had the best chances of the game and an early goal cruelly disallowed. It was not enough.
Bayern Munich left with a vital away goal and will be odds on to progress from here, even without the suspended Bastian Schweinsteiger, who was sent off late on for a second yellow card offence.
Stay in the tie would have been Moyes's mantra here.It was the mistake made by Arsenal in the previous round. They were as good as out after the first leg against Bayern Munich; the same with Manchester City and Barcelona. This was a United team set up not to lose, or at the very least not to get whupped.
They played Munich like no United team in Europe before; they played them as Chelsea would, maybe even more conservatively than that.
