Play by play

See you all next time.
- 94'
FULL-TIME. CSKA MOSCOW 0-1 MAN UTD. United upped the tempo in the second-half and one goal was the least they deserved. CSKA looked promising at times in the first-half and had a tough offside decision against them, though Krasic just didn't see enough of the ball to make things happen.
- 94'
FULL-TIME. CSKA MOSCOW 0-1 MAN UTD. Efficient performance from United who are 14 games unbeaten away from home in the Champions League now and will surely seal there place into the last 16.
- 93'
Free-kick CSKA. Carvalho (just came on as a sub) takes it but Van der Sar stays strong and plucks it out of the air.
- 92'
The black wave comes forward again and United are all over the Russians like a rash. Nani crosses to Berbatov and Akinfeev manages to collect but CSKA are all at sea.
- 91'
Two in two for Valencia then and he and Nani have been superb. Looking dangerous though still the end product needs improving generally.
- 90'
Four minutes of added time.
- 89'
Carrick from distance but that's easy for Akinfeev.
- 89'
United slice through CSKA again with ease, BErbatov lays it back to Anderson and his effort is deflected just wide for a corner.
- 88'
Corner now for Ferguson's men. Anderson to take.
- 87'
United throw now, where have CSKA been in this second-half?
- 86'
UNITED SUB: Carrick on for Fabio.
- 86'
Fabio off on a stretcher and O'Shea drops in at left-back.
- 85'
Nani crossed it to Berbatov who flicked it on to Valencia lurking at the back post. His first time right foot shot fired past Akinfeev from six yards out. No more than United deserve.
- 85'
GOAL! Valencia. CSKA 0-1 United
- 85'
Piliev takes on Fabio but he tackles well.
- 84'
Krasic with some quality dribbling down the right. He takes on Vidic but can't find anyone with his cross. The Serbian midfielder has been excellent with the ball at his feet but CSKA just haven't used him enough in the second half.
- 83'
Speculative effort from Berbatov but it's over.
- 83'
Nani again released but again a poor cross as he pulls it back to no one.
- 81'
Definitely the best piece of football of the game there.
- 81'
Incredible interplay between Valencia and Nani- two consecutive one-twos and Valencia crashes his shot against the crossbar from 18 yards out.
- 80'
Owen a little too short there as Berbatov and Nani combine well to cross in to the English striker. He either jumps too early or isn't tall enough.
- 79'
CSKA very unlucky there though Krasic didn't look overly like he was composed enough to finish.
- 78'
Offside. Eh, offside? Shocking decision from the official as he was a good yard onside! But O'Shea had chased back well.
- 78'
Odiah crosses it in to Piliev and the ball is through to Krasic who is clean through.
