Lille vs Manchester United, 1st Leg

1. 90'

   A controversial match comes to an end and Manchester United come away with a crucial win. But the main talking point was Lille's contemplation of leaving the field after the decision to let Giggs' free-kick stand.

2. 90'

   FULL-TIME: LILLE 0-1 MANCHESTER UNITED

3. 90'

   The final few minutes wind down with little action or invention. Scholes makes way for John O'Shea but he's not likely to get a touch with time almost up.

4. 90'

   Substitute Bastos has a crack from distance but it ends up in row z. A desperate attempt from a now desperate side. Surely their last chance to steal an equaliser.

5. 87'

   After squabbling and talks with officials, the players return to the middle and the game continues. The crowd are still fuming and vent their anger by throwing bottles and other missiles on to the pitch. Ugly scenes but United have a vital away goal and there's only a few minutes left for Lille to rescue this tie.

6. 83'

   Amazing scenes in France. Lille players are considering coming off the field. Someone from the Lille bench has gestured at his players to leave the field after the decision went against them. A melee ensues and arguments break out with both sets of players. Incredible turn of events.

7. 82'

   A cheekily taken free-kick from Ryan Giggs catches out the Lille wall and Sylva in the goal. Lille players are furious and surround the referee. The goal will stand.

8. 82'

   GOAL: LILLE 0-1 MANCHESTER UNITED - Giggs

9. 81'

   Giggs at the other end somewhat wastes a chance from a long way out. He was caught between passign to Rooney and lobbing the keeper. In the end he did neither and Chalme can bring the ball away.

10. 80'

    Dangerous cross from Debuchy and a desperate lunge from Audel almost catches out van der sar at his near post. Fergie is not best pleased as his defence was once more carved open.

11. 76'

    Cabaye has made a big difference in midfield. His enthusiasm has allowed Bodmer to come into the game more and United are being pushed further back.

12. 75'

    A change for Lille and Odemwingie makes way for Johan Audel. They're ambitious still and looking the more likely to score at the moment.

13. 74'

    Larsson almost drops in a wonderful chip with his left foot. He had to improvise after Sylva had spilled his first effort and the Swede's effort floated just inches over the bar.

14. 72'

    Lu Puen on the other hand is urging his side forward and is sensing an unlikely goal.

15. 71'

    Weak shouts for a penalty from the United players Saha went up for a header and Plestan's hand did look suspiciously close to the ball. But the referee is having none of it.

16. 71'

    Fergie is out on the sideline and doesn't look too pleased with what's unfolding infront of him.

17. 69'

    It's end to end now and Obemwingie tries a curling effort with his left foot from the right-hand edge of the box. He beat Vidic easily enough, but his shot hops a foot wide.

18. 67'

    And Saha immediately has a chance to find the net. A wonderful dummy from Giggs inside the box allows Saha a free strike on goal, but the Frenchman slips and his shot ends up safely in the arms of Sylva.

19. 66'

    United look to change things and Ronaldo comes off for Louis Saha. He doesn't look best pleased at all and mutters a few words to himself as he sulks off to the bench.

20. 65'

    Lille are breaking up play to good effect now and United aren't seeing too much of the ball. With the crowd alive once more, Lille have the momentum.

21. 63'

    What a call from the dutch referee. Odemwingie thought he'd put Lille ahead after powering home a header from close range, but the ref spotted a push from the striker on Vidic and he's chalked it off. Hard luck on Lille.

22. 62'

    DISALLOWED GOAL: LILLE

23. 59'

    Lille are buzzing again the red shirts are pouring forward. Makoun has a go from distance but his low drive deflects off Ferdinand. United have taken a few hits in the last five minutes.

24. 57'

    Best chance of the match and it's fallen to Lille's Bodmer. He should have scored and it was a real let-off for the visitors. He escaped the clutches of Vidic but could only poke his effort in the path of van der sar's foot and United escape.

25. 56'

    Lille look to freshen things up and Cabaye comes on for Fauvergue. Cabaye will slot into an attacking midfield role to supoort Obemwingie.
