Play by play
- 90'
And that's the last action of the game - Ruud van Nistelrooy the man who sparked the turnaround which has earned United a 3-1 victory
- 90'
David May on for Wes Brown... the referee looks at his watch as Basle win a throw deep inside the United half
- 90'
Giminez tries a speculative effort - but it's wide, and that's almost the last action of the match
- 90'
Luke Chadwick is coming on for United as the game moves into stoppage time - he'll be replacing Ole Gunnar Solskjaer
- 89'
Barthez slices a clearance and Hakan Yakin takes it on - and fires past the post. Could and should have been a late consolation
- 89'
Duruz attempts to create some late danger, but he can't manage that and the visitors are back in possession yet again
- 88'
Murat Yakin gets a touch, but Barthez is able to gather safely for United
- 87'
Haas advances for Basle, and O'Shea, tracking back with him, is forced to concede a corner...
- 86'
Scholes, Giggs and Fortune link - Solskjaer takes it on, but his attempted pass forward is disappointing
- 85'
Surely, though, that won't make any difference to the outcome
- 84'
Late changes from Basle: Sebastien Barberis and Gregory Duruz replace Ergic and Rossi
- 83'
Now Neville, now Veron... who would have envisaged things being like this after the way the game began?
- 82'
He finds Veron, who finds Scholes - the visitors keeping the ball with assurance here
- 81'
That's cleared, and Veron has plenty of space on the United left
- 80'
Herve Tum is just unable to get an effort on target from a counter-attack. He wins a corner, though...
- 79'
It's overhit, and goes all the way through to keeper Zuberbuhler
- 78'
O'Shea takes possession for United and looks for Solskjaer...
- 77'
...suddenly, though, both movement and belief appear to be lacking among the Swiss
- 76'
Veron takes the ball on again - the attack breaks down and Basle will play this one long...
- 75'
More neat passing ensues and, at the end of it, Forlan thumps a fierce effort narrowly over the top
- 74'
Nothing comes of that one, either - and forward go United once more...
- 73'
Forlan makes a good, positive run from his first touch - but Basle win it back and Rossi looks to break...
- 72'
Substitutions: Chipperfield off and Herve Tum on for Basle, Diego Forlan on and van Nistelrooy off for United
- 72'
Giggs gets into the penalty area - Murat Yakin makes a fine interception to deny him
- 71'
van Nistelrooy breaks, but wants to do too much himself and is crowded out
