Die erste Hälfte konnte man 45 Minuten lang ein 0:0 halten, knapp vor der Pause erzielte Paul Scholes aber doch den Führungstreffer für Manchester United, und in der zweiten Hälfte machte eine ersatzgeschwächte ManU-Elf den schwachen, ebenfalls durch Verletzungen geschwächten Hammers schnell den Garaus. Zwischen der 61. und der 72. Minute fielen die drei Tore zum 0:4-Endstand.
"The first goal changed the story of the game. We were defending well and they didn't create much.
"We have no complaints - our players gave everything. When you play the Champions it's always difficult and if you give them something they will exploit it. The second goal killed us."West Ham manager Gianfranco Zola
"That starting XI is a realistic relegation candidate and Zola increasingly looks like a beaten man to me."
