Play by play

  1. 93'

    The Reds will be bemoaning their misfortune. The freekick decision was marginal - shades of Teddy Sheringham for England against Greece in 2001 - but the offside decision that denied Scholes a second was dreadful. That said - would any of this happened with Keane and, lest we forget, Ferdinand in the side?

  2. 93'

    That's it. United crash out to that last-minute goal

  3. 93'

    Van Nistelrooy tries to hold it up and turn for the shot but Ferreira hoofs away

  4. 93'

    No help to United who lump it forward again. Solskjaer nods forward but Scholes can't latch onto it

  5. 93'

    McCarthy is offside - he kicks the ball away and gets a yellow card for his trouble

  6. 92'

    Giggs' corner is headed clear. Porto all hands to the pump

  7. 92'

    Into the second of three added minutes. Valente has to scramble the ball off the line as Van Nistelrooy scuffs at goal

  8. 91'

    Catastrophic for United, now 3-2 down on aggregate

  9. 90'

    Howard parries McCarthy's effort and Costinha is there to ram the leveller into the net. 1-1!

  10. 89'

    Phil Neville furious with the referee as Jankauskas wins a freekick, backing into the defender. 25 yards out

  11. 88'

    Giggs blocks Ferreira's cross from the right but Porto build again, only for Howard to claim

  12. 87'

    Now Gary Neville hoofs clear. Porto launching ball after ball towards Howard's penalty area but the United rearguard doing its job for now

  13. 86'

    McCarthy climbs all over O'Shea in the United box. Freekick. United break but Baia can gather Giggs' cross

  14. 85'

    United doggedly clawing their way to an away-gaols win here... Five minutes plus stoppages

  15. 84'

    Ronaldo can't continue - seems to be a thigh problem - so on comes Solskjaer

  17. 81'

    Jankauskas fouls Brown in the box as Deco curls in a dangerous ball

  18. 80'

    On comes Fernandes for Alenitchev meanwhile

  19. 79'

    Ronaldo goes down in a heap as he attempts to round Valente. Referee unimpressed though and play continues until Porto roll it out of play with the new arrival on the floor

  20. 78'

    Saha battling hard up front before van Nistelrooy is robbed by Emanuel. Long ball goes towards Jankauskas but Howard leaps to collect

  21. 77'

    Carvalho barges into the back of Saha. Freekick United, but Ronaldo loses out on the flank as Scholes spreads play

  22. 75'

    Ferreira intercepts Scholes' long, driven ball for van Nistelrooy

  23. 74'

    Maniche catches Scholes late - studs up and that's a yellow card. Here comes Ronaldo, on for the tiring Fletcher. Not your stereotypical defensive substitution, but one that Old Trafford greets with considerable approval

  24. 73'

    Meanwhile, looks like Ronaldo is set to take the field

  25. 72'

    Carvalho blocks Saha's long-range effort after Scholes feeds Butt. The French striker was eyeing the top corner then.
