Manchester United started the match with Ronaldo partnering Tevez up front with Rooney out with a virus.
Birmingham started brighter of the two sides with Jerome scorching a long range effort over Tomasz Kuszczak’s bar within 60 seconds.
United break through came when Tevez dropped deep to flip a pass over his head for Ronaldo to back heeled it back to Tevez to clinically slid the ball passed Taylor. 1-0 United! That was about all the action in the first half.
In the second half, United came out strongly and Tevez had a shot shed against the post with Ronaldo missing the follow up attempt. United tried as they can but could not break down the brave Birmingham defence.
