It was on 31. minute when Anelka truly tested the Man U keeper with a left-foot bending shot from out wide that needed a diving stop. Evan got his head between his hands like he was the one who missed it, and made a face. Though he was also glad at the same time. If Chelsea was to score, they'd better at the latter parts, so that United wouldn't have that much time to
force their way past Cech with everything they have. Or better, Chelsea could score 2 goals and then everyone would relax.

Nothing particular happened for 8 minutes and Evan finished his first cup of butterbeer. He was having an internal battle whether to depart his eyes off the screen to get another butterbeer when on 39 minutes happened an accidental collision between John Terry, attacking a high ball in trademark style, and Ashley Cole, the captain the one left in pain. Evan gasped. "Get up get up GET UP!" he prayed silently while watching Drogba attack. Terry couldn't be injured! After the Drogba attack came to nothing, the referee stopped the game for treatment. He sighed in relief, though it was not a head injury. Cue the game's first Fergie explosion on the touch line. He too got angry on his explosion. However he kept silent not to look like a freak who talked to TV.

It was the last minutes of the first period. When the Man U boss had been calmed and Terry recovered, the match continued with a determined Chelsea break and Deco cross. Neither Lampard nor Drogba could make the most of it. Evan again let out his breath in fury as the referee blowed his whistle for half time.

"Now, there'll be a 15-minute-break until the second period." He poured down himself some butterbeer. "This is a league game, where 20 teams compete. League Cup is the most important cup in football in every country. There are some tournaments and cups as well.

"Anyways. When a team wins, they get 3 points in league table. When they lose, they get nothing. And when it's a drawn, they get 1 point. I hope this won't end in a draw though. Chelsea will get 3 points." He gave a confident smile. "In most of the tournaments though, the matches are played two-legged. One game at both of the teams' stadiums. And the winner is decided upon their number and place of goals. In this case, if the... quality, let's name it, of the goals are still equal after the full time, an extra of 30 minutes played. If it's still the same, penalty shoot-outs determine the winner." He paused for some time to let her think. "Any more questions?"
