Besiktas vs Manchester United

1. 94'

   That's that. A poor game in truth but job done for Manchester United. That tiny bit of class told in the end. Thanks for your company.

2. 93'

   Yet another example of Besiktas' lack of quality when they have good possession with good numbers up front. They should have created some sort of chance.

3. 92'

   Last chance for Besiktas...

4. 91'

   Berbatov gets round the back but has no obvious option and ends up wasting the chance.

5. 90'

   Three minutes added...

6. 89'

   Owen's missed another chance he used to snaffle easily in his pomp. Berbatov slides the ball into his path and he hits his right foot shot wide of the post.

7. 88'

   Ekrem cuts on his left and fires a poor shot wide. They had numbers there again though Besiktas, just next to no quality in the final third.

8. 87'

   Besiktas look very, very ordinary now. Yusuf especially looks terrible.

9. 86'

   Great ball from Nihat as Nobre had drifted in between Vidic and Evans, but he can't connect with a pacey cross.

10. 85'

    Pathetic shot from Anderson at the end of a mazy run.

11. 84'

    Park's first touch is a poor pass for Owen, who could have been through on goal with the right ball...

12. 83'

    More changes, Valencia comes off and Park comes on. For Besiktas Nihat is on for Holosko.

13. 82'

    Holosko gets round the back but after getting into the penalty area Evra had a chance to get back and he blocks the shot. Corner.

14. 81'

    Besiktas committing more men forward but they still haven't created a chance of note, just as I say that Foster spills a cross but has time to recover the situation.

15. 79'

    Owen shows how little pace he has left when chasing for a Scholes ball. Ferrari gets there easily.

16. 78'

    What a shame for Besiktas. They had just started to look threatening themselves. Now Yusuf misses out on a crossing chance because he has no left foot.

17. 77'

    Owen spreads it wide to Nani who cuts round Kas and whacks in a shot but as it comes back out Scholes nods into the empty net.

18. 77'

    GOAL! Scholes!

19. 75'

    Yusuf crosses well for Nobre but he can only put his header wide. It was a decent chance but he never looked convincing.

20. 74'

    The fans are now all pogo-ing on the spot, then waving their arms and generally making a right old racket. Special atmosphere.

21. 73'

    More danger from Valencia as he whips in a near post cross but the 'keeper came out to meet it.

22. 72'

    Nani cuts inside but can only dribble a weak shot at Arikan. The Turkish fans are going nuts. It looks brilliant.

23. 71'

    Valencia crosses and Owen fluffs a header from point blank range, but he was offside anyway.

24. 70'

    Valencia gets round the back and flashes a shot narrowly wide of the post. There's a goal coming here, I can just smell it.

25. 69'

    Tabata is off and Tello comes on. A Brazilian replaced by a Chilean.
