United are breaking with style and skill, and Depor look a shadow of the side who won 3-2 at Old Trafford a few months back
- 78'
Scholes frees Solskjaer inside the area, and his lightning shot crashes off the outside of the post. It could so easily be more than 2-0

- 76'
He swiftly wins a free-kick 30 yards from goal...
- 76'
Goalscorer Van Nistelrooy is off, and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is his replacement
- 75'
Into the last 15 minutes, and more good defending by United gives Giggs the chance to launch another run
- 74'
That frustration shows with a niggling foul on Beckham midway inside the home side's half
- 73'
Passing is increasingly going astray, and United are suffering few moments of real anxiety
- 72'
Again, though, it comes to nothing for an increasingly frustrated home side - and crowd
- 71'

- 49'
Tristan tries a dangerous cross, which Silvestre deals with. Van Nistelrooy breaks...
- 49'
Another Deportivo effort - Sergio, after a good shimmy, skims in a shot from distance. Barthez holds on, and he's been in solid form when called upon
- 48'
At the other end, Fortune plays the ball in and Molina claims without difficulty
- 47'
Fran floats another effort in, and again it's wayward - no worries for Barthez
- 47'
That, however, is the sort of purposeful start Depor would have been hoping for
- 46'
Valeron, Sergio and Romero link - the ball comes back to Valeron and, from a tight angle, he hacks it over the bar

- 44'
In the meantime, the visitors are playing on with ten men
- 43'

- 42'
A fantastic boost for the Premiership champions, who then watch Tristan head over the top as Depor try to hit back

- 36'
Great improvisation from the striker, who came very close to creating an equaliser from what didn't even seem to be a half chance
- 35'
Some of the sting has gone out of Depor's game - but then a clever looping header by Tristan has Barthez scrambling to save
- 34'
Giggs sets off on a dash down the right, and the move ends with van Nistelrooy having a shot from 25 yards, which is blocked
- 33'
Van Nistelrooy leaves the field for treatment. He's soon back on - but the ref decides he has returned without permission and books him. Bizarre...

- 31'
Tristan strikes it, and the defensive wall does its job
- 30'
Fran is brought down by Beckham, 25 yards out and central. This could be very dangerous...
- 29'
...and the result is a game which is getting better and better. The home side are chasing harder and making it more difficult for United to retain the ball

- 20'
Sergio tries an optimistic shot from distance, and Blanc blocks it without any real problems
- 19'
Ferguson's side are knocking the ball around well - it's controlled stuff, but they also led in both earlier games against Depor...
- 18'
Sergio tries to change that, looking for Valeron - Johnsen demonstrates United's resolve with a fine challenge
- 17'
United in possession again - they're having much the better of things just now and the Riazor crowd have gone quiet...
- 16'
A moment of true inspiration, and a lead United deserve for their attacking start
- 15'
Beckham picks up the ball outside the area and tries an effort from more than 25 yards - it's a stunning shot and floats over the helpless Molina. A magnificent goal - United lead 1-0!

- 14'
Giggs, playing well in his free role, wins a free-kick on the edge of the area - this could be dangerous...

- 4'
United have the ball inside their own half, but haven't really been able to retain it in the face of a bright Depor start
- 3'
More threat - a 30-yard free-kick to the hosts. It's worked to Fran, whose powerful long-range effort flies over the bar
- 2'
A whipped cross towards Tristan threatens to cause more problems, but Barthez claims it well
- 1'
Depor launch an early attack, but that comes to nothing as the ball drifts out
The ball is swiftly out of play for a throw to United deep inside their own half - the Premiership champions have Giggs playing in a roving role tonight
