United once again failing to win their second match in Premiership with a draw against Portsmouth.The match started with more than 20000 attendance at Pompey.United holding first half really well.Their hard work paid when Scholes scored their only goal of the match on 16th minute.United up ahead.United ending first half with majority of possession.Second half starting with Portsmouth being more composed and passing really well.United feeling a bit more pressure and losing their composure.United's defense falling apart which lead Portsmouth's forward Benjami to score their only goal of night on 53th minute.The last minutes showed most dramatic and funny part of the game.Portsmouth defender received a red card on minute after receiving two warnings in the game.In 85th minute Ronaldo received a red card which he was intimidated.Ronaldo hitting on Portsmouth which made the star winger to miss his match against their Rivals Manchester City.United Boss not at all happy with Ronaldo's reaction and said that he had fallen in hands of intimidation.United boss complained saying that Tevez was hit many times from back but still no player received hard punishment.Ferguson making first draw in two consecutive opening matches since joining the club.United unlucky for the moment.Lets hope better from United next time.
