Van Nistelrooy makes it possible

AFP, Manchester
Ruud van Nistelrooy's scrambled 85th minute goal earned Manchester United a much-needed 2-1 victory against Portugal's Benfica at OldTYaffordhere on Tuesday in their Champions League clash.
It is a result that eases the growing disquiet around the Premiership club and their manager Sir Alex Ferguson following a lethargic start to the season. Inthefirstmeetingbelweenthe clubs since the 1968 European Cup Final, it appeared that a spectacular 58th minute free-kick by Benfica captain Sunao, struck cleanly from 25 yards after Alan Smith had brou^it down Fabrizio Miccoli, was to bring thePortuguesesideadcserveddraw.
But Ryan Giggs' late comer found the head of Rio Ferdinand and caused widespread panic bi the Benfica area, presenting van Nistelrooy with the opportunity tp force home the ball from close range for his 43rd goal in 50 Champions League appearances.
With England international striker Wayne Rooney suspended for the Champions League group match, joining eight injured first team players on tire sidelines, this was a game United dare not lose following a nut of
four matches without victory, a sequence that has brought widespread criticism of their manager's tactical and team selections.
Still, Giggs, Ihe veteran United player who has yet to start a Premiership game this season, initially cased his team's concerns in fortunate fashion with his 39th minute deflected free-kick but, prior to that goal, the English side might have fallen behind to a Benfica side that counter attacked quickly and with skilful passing.
Aftcronly eightminutes,adreadful slip by John O'Shea saw the Irishman fail to deal with a Nuno Gomes through ball, requiring Edwin van der Sar to make a stunning fiill-lengtii save to keep out the subsequent shot from Miccoli. The comer that followed proved just as dangerous as United failed to adequately mark Ricardo Rocha and the Benfica defender's header, from Manuel Fernandes' centre, forced van der Sar intoanotliercxcellcntsave.
Then, the 21st minute saw Benfica stream forward, on a six against five break, a move that ended with Nuno Gomes exchanging passes with Simao and scndingalow.hardshotwhistling just past United'sleft-handpost.
In between those two incidents, United had produced their first attack in anger, with debutant full-back Phil Bardsley finding van Nistelrooy in the Benfica area and the Dutchman
showing fantastic control to turn and send a looping shot thudding against thePortuguese cross-bar.
In an open, entertaining contest, half-chances came and went at both ends until Leo made a costly foul on the cver-dangerous winger Cristiano Ronaldo six minutes before the interval.
Giggs' left-foot free-kick from 20 yards would almost certainly have caused Jose Moreira little trouble in, the Benfica goal but a deflection off the back of Simao gave the keeper no chance as the ball deflected into the goal.
The second half opened in similarly entertaining fashion with Beto wresting a good shooting opportunity for the visitors and Ronaldo and van Nistelrooy bo th failing to meet a Giggs cross following an errorbyMoreira.
The equalising goal merely served to increase the tension and drama with van Nistelrooy almost restoring the home side's lead with a 63rd minute shot that thundered against the Benfica woodwork.
Paul Scholes also came within inches ofa goal as he slid in agonisingly close to a Bardsley shot as it skidded across the face of goal.
In response, Simao conjured up another scintillating long-distance shot after 68 minutes which van der Sar smothered, at the second attempt, lowatthefootofhislcft-handposL
