Play by play

  1. Not a bad result for United given the circumstances - down to ten men and a goal down in the first-half. A 1-0 win at Old Trafford will see them through to the the semi-finals.

  2. 90'

    The ref blows the final whistle. The final score 2-1 to Roma.

  3. 89'

    Saha wins a freekick as more valuable seconds tick away.

  4. 88'

    Rooney runs the length of the pitch with the ball. He can't get to the Roma goal but it was great work to relieve the pressure. Much appreciated by his team-mates.

  5. 87'

    Once again United have more of the possession - 56% this time. They had to do that with only ten men.

  6. 86'

    Mancini collects the ball on the left of the box. He turns to shoot but the flag is up for offside.

  7. 85'

    Heinze gets booked for complaining to the ref...but he has run down some time.

  8. 84'

    Only a few minutes now for United to hold on for a respectable result. Although they are doing more than holding on here in Rome.

  9. 83'

    Roonet tracks back to tackle Cassetti but concedes a corner. O'Shea heads clear.

  10. 82'

    Ronaldo jumps with the goalkeeper but Doni is good enough to claim O'Shea's cross despite the pressure.

  11. 81'

    Roma make a change. Taddei is replaced by Rosi.

  12. 80'

    Cassetti goes past Rooney on the left. Vucinic can't convert at the far post. The striker shoots over the bar.

  13. 79'

    Saha ploughs into the back of Perrotta. Ronaldo does one trick too many and allows Chivu to make the tackle.

  14. 78'

    Totti whips up the crowd as he goes over to take a corner. His delivery is poor and Ferdinand heads clear.

  15. 77'

    United make another change. Saha comes on for Giggs, who has been very subdued this evening.

  16. 75'

    Cassetti scythes down Ronaldo and United have a freekick on the left. Ronaldo takes it himself and Heinze nearly gets his head to the cross.

  17. 74'

    Totti and Mancini probe the United defence. Brown clears the danger.

  18. 73'

    Roma have become a little sloppy in the final third - either overhitting their passes or shooting wildly.

  19. 72'

    United make a change. Solksjaer is replaced by Darren Fletcher.

  20. 71'

    ..Henzie reads the move and springs a United counterattack. Ronaldo takes on four players, Rooney spreads the ball wide to Giggs but the winger's cross is blocked.

  21. 70'

    Totti whips in a dipping cross and United concede a corner. The pressure is still on...

  22. 69'

    Panucci races down the left wing and gets taken out by Solksjaer, who gets booked.

  23. 68'

    Gues what? Totti has a shot from long-range.

  24. 67'

    You have to ask questions of Van Der Sar there, but great reactions from Vucinic. the roma fans find their voices.

  25. 65'

    Mancini fires yet another shot from distance but Van Der Sar can only block the effort. Vucinic pounces on the rebound and fires it into the net. GOAL!
