Manchester United v CSKA Moscow
Time Commentary
95' GAME OVER
That's it then. A barnstorming end to a topsy-turvy game at Old Trafford, as late goals from Paul Scholes and Georgy Shchennikov (OG) rescue the point which sends United through to the last 16. Sir Alex's side looked dead and buried at 3-1 down, but as so often, they dug deep to claw a way back into a game they had no right in doing do. Next stop? Stamford Bridge. United 3-3 CSKA Moscow.
94' RED CARD
Deividas Semberas - already booked - clashes with Obertan and receives his marching orders.
93' OWN GOAL
United's third has indeed been credited as an own goal. Georgy Shchennikov, the culprit.
92' GOAAAAL!!!!
Incredible. Antonio Valencia draws United level with the help of a massive defection, but he won't care. So typical of United's never say die attitude. Time for a winner...?
90' TIME ADDED ON
Four to go at Old Trafford.
89' YELLOW CARD
Daniel Carvalho clatters into Valencia and goes straight into the book, no questions asked.
88' GROUP B UPDATE
Imperative that CSKA hold on, especially with Wolfsburg home and dry - 3-0 up - over in Turkey.
86' SUBSTITUTION
Final change for the visitors as Nika Piliev trots on in place of the impressive Tomas Necid.
84' GOAAAAL!!!!
Well, well. Gary Neville sends in a free kick and Paul Scholes glances the ball into the net from six-yards to set up the grandstand finish we all hoped for.
83' GREAT KEEPING
A Paul Scholes stinger and another cracking bit of keeping from Akinfeev. His stock's risen a fair few points tonight.
82' SUBSTITUTION
That's the last we'll see of Federico Macheda. The Italian makes way for Gabriel Obertan.
81' OFF THE POST
So, so close. Valencia plants a cross on the head of Macheda, who nods against the post. Rooney collects the rebound, but again Akinfeev's equal to the task.
80' TOP KEEPING
No wonder Sir Alex has his eye on CSKA stopper Akinfeev. The Russian no.1 makes a fine save to keep out a header from Owen and then again to deny Rooney on the follow-up. Cat-like reactions.
78' GATHERED
Valencia - who's arguably been United's best player - releases Brown, but his cross is straight into the arms of Akinfeev.
75' YELLOW CARD
Macheda sees yellow after catching the heels of Semberas.
72' SUBSTITUTION
Fresh legs for CSKA as Daniel Carvalho replaces Alan Dzagoev up top.
71' YELLOW CARD
Deividas Semberas leaves a leg in on Michael Owen and picks up a deserved booking.
69' CSKA SUBSTITUTION
Elvir Rahimic replaces Pavel Mamaev in the visitors' midfield.
68' SMOTHERED
Perfectly weighted ball from Macheda into the path of Rooney, but Akinfeev's on it like a flash. Great keeping.
66' FORTRESS OT
United have not lost in 22 Champions League games at Old Trafford. Just under half an hour to hit back and keep their record intact.
63' TWO ON ONE
CSKA break, and for a moment it's two on one. Necid, though, is penalised for tangling with Evans. Let-off.
63' OFF TARGET
Massive chance for Rooney to rock the Bebeto cradle, but he heads wide from Gary Neville's inch-perfect cross.
61' DOUBLE STOP
Fletcher wins a free kick about 30 yards from goal. Paul Scholes lets fly and forces a flying save from Akinfeev, who reacts brilliantly to keep out Valencia on the follow-up. Flag was up, though, so wouldn't have counted.
59' SUBSTITUTION
Sir Alex means business and throws on Patrice Evra for Fabio in a like for like change at left-back.
58' SUBSTITUTION
No surprises as Nani makes way for Wayne Rooney.
57' WELL HELD
Neville rakes an inviting ball across to Macheda, but there's too much on it and Akinfeev makes the catch.
55' STRIPPED AND READY
Wayne Rooney's been going through the motions for some time now. Expect a change very soon...
53' YELLOW CARD
Aldonin goes into the book for a rash, sliding challenge on Paul Scholes. Have to say, that was Scholes-esque.
50' NOT GIVEN
The United players and fans scream penalty as Fletcher falls to ground in the box, but the referee's unmoved and instead books the United midfielder for simulation. Terrible decision.
47' GOAAAAL!!!!
Nightmare start to the second half, and it's another for the visitors. Alan Dzagoyev sends in a free-kick from the left and Federico Macheda fails to pick up Vasili Berezutsky, who nods home at the back post. Mountain to climb for United.
46' SECOND HALF
Up and running again at Old Trafford.
45' HALF TIME
Not exactly going to plan for United, who find themselves 2-1 down. Michael Owen levelled things on the half-hour mark after Dzagoev had smashed CSKA in front, but the Russians retook the lead just a minute later. Fergie has it all to do at the break, and should probably start by hooking Nani.
45' POWER OF THE PUNCH
Scholes lets rip, but can't beat the keeper and that should be that...
43' TURN AND BANG
Akinfeev saves well to deny Macheda's fierce effort from the edge of the box. Another great turn from the Italian in the build-up - he's certainly one for the future.
42' AND AGAIN
This time Nani tries to bustle his way through, but again it comes to nothing. Expect to see Rooney at some point in the second half...
40' NOT CLICKING
Fabio finds himself in unfamiliar territory up at the other end and eventually runs the ball out of play.
37' OFF TARGET
United spring to life as Valencia hares forward and wins a corner. The resulting kick finds the head of Wes Brown, but he can't turn it goalwards.
34' GROUP B UPDATE
VfL Wolfsburg have taken the lead at Besiktas. Two-way battle for second spot between the German champions and CSKA...
31' GOAAAAL!!!!
Unbelievable. Tomas Necid's the architect once more, picking out the run of Milos Krasic, who shimmies round van der Sar before planting the ball into the empty net. When it rains...
29' GOAAAAL!!!!
Game on. Nani flicks a cross from Valencia into the path of Michael Owen, who rolls his man and strokes the ball home. CSKA's lead lasted barely four minutes.
25' GOAAAAL!!!!
Old Trafford is stunned. Alan Dzagoyev collects Necid's knockdown, shrugs off the challenge of Evans and rifles the ball past van der Sar. Stunner.
24' YELLOW CARD
Necid handles and can have no complaints - yellow card.
24' OOOH!
Macheda turns majestically on the edge of the box after some clever play from Valencia and fires agonisingly wide of the post. So, so close.
21' UNITED CORNER
Valencia combines with Macheda and wins a corner. The Ecuadorian whips in the resulting kick, but Nani can't get it under wraps and CSKA clear.
19' GOLDEN
Another chance for Owen, who jinks into the box and scuffs one straight at Akinfeev. He could have had two already...
17' DANGER MAN
CSKA striker Tomas Necid wriggles free on the edge of the box, but fires straight at van der Sar. The 20-year-old's netted twice in his last two league games and is clearly a man in form.
16' UNITED ON TOP
CSKA started brightly, but United have weathered that early storm and are well on top of things.
14' FLETCHER FIRECRACKER
Darren Fletcher lets rip from 25-yards, but it just swerves the wrong side of the post with the keeper well beaten. Cracking effort.
12' NOT SO SILKY SKILLS
Nani and Owen both try one step over too many and the ball is back at the feet of the visitors. We all know that Nani's no Ronaldo, but god knows what Owen was up to.
9' OWEN FLUFFS HIS LINES
Great bit of play involving Neville and Valencia down the United right. The United winger cuts the ball back to Michael Owen, but the England wannabe bends it wide.
7' EASY CLAIM
Poor delivery from Mamaev and an easy claim for United's no.1.
6' DEADBALL TERRITORY
Fabio's called back for a foul on Krasic. Free kick out on the right and a chance to put one in the mixer...
4' END TO END
Cracking start to the game here. Valencia shifts through the gears and only a perfectly-timed challenge from Ignashevich denies the United winger a shot at goal.
3' INCHES AWAY
Semberas smashes an effort narrowly wide of the target. Van der Sar just about had it covered, mind.
2' PENALISED
Neville ploughs down the right and crosses for Macheda, but the whistle goes for a foul on the keeper.
2' WARNING SHOT
CSKA immediately on the charge as Dzagoev runs at United's makeshift back four before firing over the bar.
0' WE'RE OFF
The ball's rolling at Old Trafford.
0' CSKA TEAM NEWS
Sekou Oliseh misses out after taking a knock to his hip in the warm-up against FC Terek Grozny. Mark Gonzalez and Guilherme remain in the treatment room.

Subs: Pomazan, Daniel Carvalho, Maazou, Odiah, Piliev, Rahimic, Grigoriev.
0' UNITED TEAM NEWS
Five changes to the side that beat Blackburn at the weekend, with Gary Neville, Fabio, Darren Fletcher, Michael Owen and Federico Macheda coming in for John O'Shea, Patrice Evra, Anderson, Wayne Rooney and Dimitar Berbatov. Wazza does, however, make the bench. Team in full: Van der Sar, Neville, Brown, Evans, Fabio Da Silva, Valencia, Fletcher, Scholes, Nani, Macheda, Owen. Subs: Kuszczak, Evra, Anderson, Rooney, O'Shea, Obertan, Gibson.

0' ADIOS JUANDE
Former Spurs coach Juande Ramos was shown the door just five days after United's 1-0 win in the Russian capital. Leonid Slutsky's the new man at the helm, and will be hoping to build on last Friday's 1-0 win over FC Terek Grozny with a positive result at Old Trafford. On the domestic front, with three games left to play, CSKA can finish as high as third or as low as sixth, but European-wise, they'll almost certainly have to beat second-placed Wolfsburg if they're to progress…
0' INJURY-HIT
Where to start? Ryan Giggs (hip), Park Ji-Sung (knee), Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic (both calf) are definitely out. It's unclear whether Wayne Rooney will play after he missed training on Monday to attend the birth of his son, while Dimitar Berbatov (knee) rates at 50-50. On the plus side, big-game player Darren Fletcher is expected to start after a spell on the sidelines.
0' PREVIEW
There my be a mini injury crisis at Old Trafford, but you'd be mad to bet against Sir Alex's boys securing the win that would book their place in the CL knockout stages with a couple of games to spare. United have an uncanny knack of grinding out results - as showcased in the weekend win over Blackburn Rovers - and against a CSKA side without a group stage win on their travels since 2004-05, Michael Owen and co. will be confident of doing the job here tonight ahead of next Sunday's mammoth, table-topping showdown at Stamford Bridge.
