• "Diouf equalised in the 54th minute, but the score remained the same through full-time and extra-time to take the match to a penalty shootout." Are you sure? The infobox says the match was 2-2.
  • Yep it was 1–1, my mistake in the infobox. NapHit ( talk) 14:42, 11 August 2015 (UTC) reply
• "They took the lead in the ninth minute when Diouf scored."
  • Not sure what the problem is with this sentence. NapHit ( talk) 14:42, 11 August 2015 (UTC) reply
• "The match held at United's home ground Old Trafford was goalless until the 80th minute" I was wondering if a couple of commas should be here.
  • Yep added. NapHit ( talk) 14:42, 11 August 2015 (UTC) reply

Match

• I was wondering if the referee should be mentioned in the background section as well.
  • There isn't a reference stating during was going to be the referee beforehand. NapHit ( talk) 14:42, 11 August 2015 (UTC) reply

  • de linked. NapHit ( talk) 14:42, 11 August 2015 (UTC) reply
• Link Cardiff.
  • As this is in a quote, I'm not going to. The MOS states we should not link in quotes. See here

  • See above. NapHit ( talk)
• And the Charity Shield should be linked as well. Yes, four times in a row now.

• Paul Scholes was already link and Silvestre should be unlinked.

• "in the 12 minute" Shouldn't it be 12th minute?
  • done NapHit ( talk) 14:42, 11 August 2015 (UTC) reply
• "A free-kick by Beckham just before half-time was saved by Dudek, Liverpool counter-attacked through midfielder El Hadji Diouf down the right-hand side of the pitch." I think it should be similar to this: "After a free-kick by Beckham just before half-time was saved by Dudek, Liverpool counter-attacked through midfielder El Hadji Diouf down the right-hand side of the pitch."
