Ronaldo gets ManU’s Euro campaign off to good start

Inter Milan, lost at Turkish champions Fenerbahce 1-0 for the biggest upset of the night.

Rangers, Slavia Prague and PSV Eindhoven also won. Rangers rallied to beat Stuttgart 2-1, Slavia beat Steaua Bucharest 2-1, and 1988 European champion PSV beat CSKA Moscow 2-1.

Manchester United brought back England striker Wayne Rooney from injury, seeking to improve an attack that scored just four times in the club’s opening six Premier League matches. However, it was Ronaldo who scored in the 62nd minute of his return to his former club.

Paul Scholes and Michael Carrick combined to set up Wes Brown for a cross on the right side of the area, and Ronaldo met the defender’s ball into the area with a close-range diving header.

United will share the Group F lead with Roma, who beat visiting Dynamo Kiev with a goal in each half.

Inter were beaten in Istanbul by a 43rd-minute shot from Deivid De Souza.

Also in Group G, PSV led CSKA through goals by Danko Lazovic and Kenneth Perez before Vagner Love got one back in the 89th. Arsenal completed a good day for English clubs with a comfortable win over Sevilla in Group H.

Barcelona easily beat six-time defending French champions Lyon at Camp Nou, with Thierry Henry completing the rout with his first goal for the club.
