Play by play
- 92'
Next up to the Royal box are the Premier League champions and the Community Shield winners. Giggs leads his players up the steps and lifts aloft the 2007 Shield closely followed by the hero of the hour, Edwin van der Sar.
- 92'
The Blues players head up the steps first to collect their losers medals from Sir Geoff Hurst. It was a spirited performance from the FA Cup winners and they won't be happy about losing this one.
- 92'
A rare win for Manchester United over Chelsea. Only their second in their last 12 meetings and they've got Edwin van der Sar to thank for it. They weren't the best of spot-kicks from the Chelsea players, but the Dutchman did well to palm all three away and United are victorious.

- 92'
The two skippers (Lampard and Ferdinand) toss for ends and first kick as we prepare for the closing moments. You can catch it all here.
- 92'
No goals in the second half mean that the 2007 Community Shield will be decided by penalties.

FULL-TIME: MANCHESTER UNITED 1-1 CHELSEA
- 91'
Mikel goes into the book for a late lunge on Ronaldo. It was a lazy, mistimed tackle but no malice in it - a booking nonetheless.
- 90'
Chelsea waste it though as Van der Sar gathers with ease. The referee's assistant indicates there will be two added minutes.
- 88'
It's looking increasingly like penalties now, though. Mourinho is off his bench and barking instructions at his midfield who he feels need to push on. Scott Sinclair does just that and earns a corner.
- 87'
United finishing well here. More possession and Chelsea look slightly disjointed by the changes. A dangerous corner from Nani is well dealt with by Carvalho and Chelsea have everyone back.
- 84'
The resulting corner sees Cech completely miss the cross only for Ronaldo to do likewise and Chelsea escape.
- 83'
Unless, of course, one of these sides can find a breakthrough. Ronaldo almost finds it after a mistake from Mikel, but Ben Haim is up to the winger's tricks and stepovers and shadows him out of play. Fine defending from the Israeli.
- 82'
Don't forget that if it stays this way we'll go to a penalty shoot-out. There's no extra-time so we're eight minutes away from spot-kicks.
- 81'
Chelsea also decide to shake things up and there's an appearance for Scott Sinclair who comes on for Joe Cole. I'm losing track of systems here under the barrage of substitutions.
- 80'
Change for United as the skipper Giggs departs for Darren Fletcher. Fine effort from the veteran.
- 79'
Speculative effort from Joe Cole fails to trouble Van der Sar, worth an effort though.
- 78'
Chelsea aren't over-committing players here and despite their superior spell of possession, they still seem content to leave Mikel behind to guard a United counter-attack.
- 77'
Another switch for Chelsea sees Sidwell come on for Glen Johnson. The new signing has his chance in midfield as play threatens to stretch even further with the constant changes in personell.
