  • Live Commentary

    Time:90'
    • Manchester United
    • CSKA Moskva
    • 90'+6 There it is! All over at Old Trafford and United have qualified for the knock-out stage thanks to Valencia's late leveller!
    • 90'+5 Obertan is booked for a clash with Semberas, while Semberas also gets yellow - his second of the night and he's off!
    • 90'+3 United are pushing for the win now! Neville appeals for a penalty as the ball appears to hit a prone CSKA player!
    • 90'+2 GOAL! THERE IT IS! VALENCIA PULLS UNITED LEVEL AGAIN! His effort from outside the box takes a hefty deflection on its way in, but it doesn't matter... if it stays like this United are going through!
    • 90' Four minutes of added time to be played.
    • 89' Carvalho goes into the book following a tussle with Evans...
    • 86' Shchennikov's got cramp here... hmmm... surely not time wasting is he?
    • 85' CSKA make another change... Piliev replaces Necid.
    • 84' GOAL! THERE IT IS! Unmarked Scholes heads home from inside the six-yard box to pull United back to 3-2! Maybe there is time to salvage a draw!
    • 83' Oooh! Scholes stings Akinfeev's fingers with a screamer from 20 yards!
    • 83' United are getting closer... but with just seven minutes remaining they may run out of time!
    • 82' United make another change... Macheda off and Obertan on.
    • 81' OFF THE POST! Macheda slams a header against the base of the post and neither Rooney nor Scholes can stick in the follow up!
    • 79' Oooh! Owen heads on target but Akinfeev denies him! Rooney collects the rebound, but the CSKA keeper is again there! Great double save!
    • 77' United are finally beginning to put a bit of pressure on the visitors.
    • 76' Valencia finds the overlapping run of Neville, but his cross is hacked clear at the near post!
    • 75' Macheda is shown yellow no as he goes in slightly too late on Semberas.
    • 72' Daniel Carvalho comes on to replace Dgazoev...
    • 71' Semberas is booked for a little trip on Owen...
    • 70' CSKA make a change now... Rahimic comes on.
    • 67' That's a great ball from Macheda to Rooney! But it just runs through to Akinfeev, who lamps it clear.
    • 65' CSKA break in numbers now... they're showing much more attacking intent this week! On the plastic pitch they were fairly annonymous in the final third.
    • 63' Rooney! He gets on the end of Neville's cross but he glances it wide of the far post!
    • 62' Ooh! Scholes leathers a free-kick goalwards! Akinfeev parries, but only as far as Valencia! He makes a second save, but the flag is up on the far side and it wouldn't have counted anyway!
    • 59' Here comes Evra... it's a straight swap for Fabio at left-back.
    • 58' Here comes Rooney! Nani departs...Evra's coming on too, but not just yet.
    • 55' Rooney is about to make an entrance... he's stripped and ready to go.
    • 54' Aldonin goes into the book for a wild challenge on Scholes, that dislodges the United man's shin pad...
    • 53' Nani's ball into the box finds Valencia but CSKA manage to scramble clear!
    • 51' Unsurprisingly, Rooney and Evra are out on the touchlines warming up straight away...
    • 50' Fletcher goes down in the area! Must be a penalty! NO! The referee books the United man instead! How can that be?
    • 48' Here come CSKA again, with Krasic... and only an ungainly interception from Fabio prevents another run in on goal!
    • 47' GOAL! VASILY BEREZUTSKY GIVES CSKA A 3-1 LEAD! The defender gets on the end of a free-kick to the far post and directs it past Van der Sar! Macheda was at fault then - he completely left his man... incredible scoreline!
    • 46' Here we go again! Back underway at United!
    • 45'+3 There goes the half-time whistle and United go in at the break 2-1 down!
    • 45'+1 Scholes now has a pop at goal as United lift their game! Akinfeev to CSKA's rescue again!
    • 45' Macheda turns well on the edge of the box before firing on target! But Akinfeev is equal to it!
    • 43' Here come United again as they try to get something before half-time... but Nani runs down a blind alley.
    • 41' Fabio rides his luck a bit to get into the CSKA box... but he over runs it and the ball runs out for a goal kick.
    • 39' But here comes Valencia now... and he wins a corner, from which Brown heads wide!
    • 37' United have lost their way a bit now... and CSKA are bossing things in the middle of the park.
    • 35' Krasic shows some nice skills out on the far side... Fabio's got a lot to deal with tonight.
    • 33' This is going to be a real test of United's character now... CSKA have already proven they have no fear at Old Trafford.
    • 32' What an amazing couple of minutes! United have been torn apart at the bacl twice now... are they missing Ferdinand and Vidic?
    • 31' GOAL! CSKA TAKE THE LEAD AGAIN! Krasic runs on to Necid's lay off on the efge of the box before rounding Van der Sar, spinning a complete 360 degrees and firing into an empty net! 2-1 now!
    • 29' GOAL! OWEN PUTS UNITED BACK ON LEVEL ON TERMS! Valencia's cross into the box is backheeled by Nani into the striker's path, by way of a deflection, and this time he makes no mistake, finding the corner of the net with his trusty right foot!
    • 26' Scholes looks to hit back immediately... but he's offside as he turns onto Valencia's through pass...
    • 25' GOAL! CSKA TAKE THE LEAD! What a goal it is by Dzagoyev, who crashes into the roof of the net after breaking free from the shackles of Brown and baring down on goal! He looked like he'd taken it too wide, but his shot was simply unstoppable! 1-0 to the visitors!
    • 24' Krasic sends in a free-kick... Necid rises with Brown to meet it but it hits his arm and United have a free-kick.
    • 23' Oooh! Macheda goes close with a fizzing daisy cutter that swerves inches wide of the post! Cracking effort from the young Italian!
    • 19' Scholes clips a ball through looking for Owen, but it's too high for the little man and Akinfeev collects...
    • 17' OWEN! Oooh! He bursts through the CSKA defence but his poked effort is straight at Akinfeev and the chance goes begging!
    • 16' Oooh! That's lovely from Necid! He controls well on the edge of the box before firing on target! Can der Sar is there to make the save!
    • 14' Oooh! Fletcher lets fly with a fierce drive from 25 yards out! He strikes it well, but it drifts inches wide of the post, with Akinfeev well beaten!
    • 12' Owen now tries to do a Nani impression... but again he overdoes it and the ball spills through to safety.
    • 10' Neat footwork by Nani as he beats one and then two... but it runs away from him in the end.
    • 9' Oh! Valencia gets to the by-line before pulling back for Owen! But the little striker doesn't connect well with a shot on the spin and the ball balloons off to safety!
    • 7' Van der Sar claims the free-kick without any problems at all...
    • 6' Fabio is pulled up for a tug on a CSKA shirt and the visitors have a free-kick.
    • 5' Macheda shows all his youthful exuberance as he chases down Akinfeev, who hacks clear to safety.
    • 4' It's been quite an open start to the game... that can only be good.
    • 3' Down to the other end once again and Valencia wins a corner off Ignashevich!
    • 3' Semberas! Ooh! Not far away from the CSKA midfielder! But Van der Sar seems to have it covered as the ball bounces wide of the target!
    • 2' Straight down to the other end and Neville sends in a cross... Macheda is penalised for fouling Akinfeev.
    • 2' CSKA on the attack straight away... they're allowing Dzagoyev plenty of space... he runs right at the heart of the defence before unleashing a shot that goes high and wide.
    • 1' Here we go! Underway at Old Trafford!
    • - So, Rooney gets on the subs bench despite becoming a father this week. Owen takes advantage and starts up front alongside Macheda, who gets a European debut. Gary Neville, Darren Fletcher, Paul Scholes and Fabio all return.
    • - Referee: Olegario Benquerenca (Portugal).
    • - CSKA Moscow: Akinfeev, Alexei Berezutsky, Vasili Berezutsky, Ignashevich, Shchennikov, Krasic, Semberas, Aldonin, Mamaev, Necid, Dzagoev. Subs: Pomazan, Daniel Carvalho, Maazou, Odiah, Piliev, Rahimic, Grigoriev
    • - Man Utd: Van der Sar, Neville, Brown, Jonathan Evans, Fabio Da Silva, Valencia, Fletcher, Scholes, Nani, Macheda, Owen. Subs: Kuszczak, Evra, Anderson, Rooney, O'Shea, Obertan, Gibson
    • - Michael Owen is expected to start for United in the absence of the injured Wayne Rooney... more team news as and when we have it.
    • - Leonid Slutsky has taken over but his new side have a terrible record in the competition - they have lost their last five Champions League away games.
    • - CSKA arrive in Manchester in a bit of turmoil having sacked coach Juande Ramos after the defeat to United two weeks ago.
    • - United need three more goals to become only the 11th club to score 500 in European games.
    • - United have won six of their last seven Champions League games and have been beaten only once in the last 29. They have kept 18 clean sheets in that time.
    • - Anything but defeat to the Russian club will secure United's safe passage from the group stage and considering United's recent record in the competition, that should not be too difficult a task.
    • - Manchester United can seal their place in the knock-out stages of the Champions League with a result against CSKA Moscow at Old Trafford.

  • Summary

    • 90'+5 Obertan is booked for a clash with Semberas, while Semberas also gets yellow - his second of the night and he's off!
    • 90'+3 United are pushing for the win now! Neville appeals for a penalty as the ball appears to hit a prone CSKA player!
    • 90'+2 GOAL! THERE IT IS! VALENCIA PULLS UNITED LEVEL AGAIN! His effort from outside the box takes a hefty deflection on its way in, but it doesn't matter... if it stays like this United are going through!

  14. Even with a 3-3 draw Manchester united qualified to the­ knockout round unlike the other english teams­ especially Liverpool who are currently strugelling to­ score goals and can't even win games in their own­ territory, Anfield. This clearly shows that Liverpool­ can only talk the talk but they can't walk the­ walk!!!! Glory Glory Man United!!!!!!
