- 77'
Leverkusen are defending deeper now, but Basturk gets the chance to run at United and Irwin trips him as he bears down on Brown. Ballack takes the free-kick, but Barthez is more than comfortable with that one
- 74'
Silvestre turns well down the right, but Placente blocks his path. Again though, referee Neilsen is having none of it
- 72'
Then United's best chance. Giggs escapes down the left to supply a venomous cross. A mix-up in defence allows Scholes to strike from the edge of the box, but it's high and wide
- 71'
Freekick now to Leverkusen, Ze Roberto floating it in. Brown half-clears and Sebescen gets caught offside as the ball comes back toward goal
- 70'
Veron takes but it's too low and Zivkovic can clear
- 69'
Sebescen fouls Giggs in midfield. United play it to Veron. This time a much better ball for Solskjaer at the far post. It's a miskick but United build again, Silvestre wins a free-kick out on the left
- 68'
The anxiety continues for the Premiership champions - Veron picks up a loose ball but plays a loose pass forward and keeper Butt gathers.
- 65'
Ze Roberto's protests are too loud for the ref's liking. He sees yellow and will also be suspended
- 64'
Then United's best movement of the half. Irwin feeds Scholes, who lofts one for Solskjaer on the right. The Norwegian cuts back looking for Veron, but he's late in the challenge and it's a freekick.
- 63'
Easily gathered by Barthez though. United break but Giggs loses control wide out on the right
- 62'
Almost immediately the game seems to have opened up. Keane and Veron combine to feed van Nistelrooy, but the Dutchman is muscled out. Leverkusen move upfield and Blanc has to concede a corner under pressure from Ze Roberto
- 60'
Ferguson hass seen enough. Johnsen limps off to be replaced by Irwin, while Solskjaer takes the field in place of Butt, whose Champions league is definitely over
- 58'
Now the Frenchman gets down his wing for the first time. Butt is at the edge of the box and Ramelow brings him down as they tussle for a 50-50 ball, but nothing given again.
- 58'
Leverkusen are camped in the United half. Ramelow gives it away but Silvestre's pass, like most of United's, is poor
- 56'
The home crowd are lapping this up. Leverkusen play it around midfield before Scholes, out of frustration, brings Ze Roberto crashing to the floor. Yellow card
- 54'
Butt is at the far post to clear, but it's all Leverkusen. Brown tries to find van Nistelrooy from deep. The Dutchman seemed to be fouled but nothing given
- 53'
If United were indifferent in the first half, they're a shambles now. Another freekick conceded - Sebescen is teed up but Scholes blocks. Corner
- 52'
Suddenly Blanc gives it away to Neuville. United in real trouble but the Frenchman is back to get a head to Neuville's cross. Desperate stuff
- 51'
Giggs is off on another run, Lucio has to scramble and does very well to shield the ball and bring it away from danger
- 50'
Basturk's trickery wins another free-kick off Butt. Taken quickly and Neuville again finds time to turn and shoot. This time easier for Barthez though
- 49'
United get their first taste of the ball this half - Brown floats one for van Nistelrooy but his header loops up for the keeper to gather under no pressure
- 48'
Now Ballack is struggling with that ankle injury, Leverkusen and Germany don't need that after Nowotny's knee injury was diagnosed as bad enough to keep him out of the World Cup
- 48'
United asleep as the quick ball is taken, but the visitors can scramble it way from the box. Now Johnsen wins the ball to free Giggs for a trademark run, but Schneider tackles
- 47'
United must score again tonight as the 3-3 aggregate score has Leverkusen ahead on away goals. And it's the Germans starting better, Ze Roberto winning a corner
- 46'
Ferguson tells television at half-time that Solskjaer will come on after a further 15 minutes
- 46'
United restart!
- 45'
Just a little too much room for Neuville at the edge of the box there, but United should have done something to halt the build-up from deeper. The half-time whistle blows and the Germans have regained the initiative
- 45'
Into injury-time now. Ze Roberto is involved in another Leverkusen build-up. He feeds Basturk who threads one through to Neuville. A swivel and the Germany forward delievers a devastating right-footer in off the cross bar. It's 1-1
- 45'
That's three corners they've struggled with from the right wing. Leverkusen counter - Basturk reaches the goal-line on the left, but Barthez can gather no problem
- 44'
Not to worry, Veron wins a corner as United continue the attack. Giggs takes, Silvestre rises and the ball bounces off Johnsen towards goal. Butt claws it away in the Leverkusen goal
- 43'
Now he's up at the other end to trick Keane, but Blanc and Johnsen arrive to pick up the pieces. United break and Giggs cruises to the by-line. The cut-back isn't good enough for van Nistelrooy though
- 41'
Giggs takes. A flick on and Veron arrives at the far post to hammer a low drive that Ballack does brilliantly to clear away.
- 40'
Now United put together a series of passes down the right. Veron loops it for Brown, who does well to win a corner
- 39'
A lull in play now as United sit deep, allowing the German side to probe without ever threatening
- 38'
A real test of character now for the England midfielder... Keane leads by example, robbing Neuville in midfield and playing it back to Blanc
- 36'
The home side break and United's Butt has to haul down Basturk. It's a yellow card and Butt will be suspended for the final should United win through
- 35'
United break, Giggs involved and the Welshmen wins a corner. He takes but Butt is up to punch clear
- 33'
United are looking sloppy at the back - and their a man short - as Schneider gets to the by-line for a dangerous cross. It comes to Sebescen but the substitute's effort is well over
- 32'
Now Johnsen goes down in the left corner after Ballack comes in late to catch the Norwegian in the face
- 31'
3-2 down on aggregate, Leverkusen look to reassert their previous superiority on this second leg. Ze Roberto is repelled though and the Germans look to rebuild
- 30'
Leverkusen caught out by that surge from the United skipper and the very confident sounding home support are suddenly rather quiet
- 27'
And Keane rounds Butt to flick the ball home from the tightest of angles. 1-0 United
- 27'
Funnily enough though, United finally string some passes together, through Veron and van Nistelrooy - and with the Irishmen bursting through, Zivkovic slips...
- 26'
Keane - yes, he is on the field - is playig very deep and United's front play is suffering. Leverkusen break quickly and Neuville gets in front of Blanc for a sharp shot from the edge of the box. Barthez watches it rise over though
- 24'
More possession for Leverkusen as Ze Roberto hares towards the box looking for a return ball from Ballack. But it's overhit and Barthez collects
- 23'
Now Scholes is out-muscled in midfield by Zivkovic. Leverkusen build down the left but Brown is strong in defence
- 21'
Loose ball from Scholes gifts a shooting chance to Schneider, but it's dragged well wide from 25 yards
- 20'
Ballack dribbles down the left wing, but Brown chops in from the side to bring the Germany star down.
- 19'
That's sparked the visitors, who now break swiftly down the left for Veron overlapping. But the Argentinian is wasteful. It's behind for a goalkick
- 18'
Johnsen leaps high to head powerfully towards goal - a great effort and Ze Roberto does brilliantly to half-volley clear off the line
- 17'
A rare break from United, Giggs and van Nistelrooy involved - corner kick
- 16'
Another burst from Basturk has United backpedalling. Brown heads clear but Placente follows up to shoot. A ricochet, but the ball rolls softly to Barthez
- 15'
United are rattled - they haven't got going yet - and now Silvestre has to bring down Basturk. Ze Roberto takes but it's straight into the wall. Throw to Leverkusen
- 13'
Suddenly, Schneider is given too much time and unleashes a beautiful curler from 25 yards. Barthez beaten but it's off the post and out of play
- 12'
Schneider takes but it's easily headed clear at the edge of the box. United try to break down the left but the passing is wayward. Ze Roberto starts the counter but Scholes hacks him down in midfield
- 10'
This game rather waiting to explode - in contrast to many pre-match predictions. Now Blanc is penalised wide on the Leverkusen left.
- 9'
Sebescen - belatedly - is ready to fill in as substitute to play alongside Lucio at centre-half
- 8'
But now a blow for Leverkusen as Nowotny goes down injured challenging van Nistelrooy - it looks bad for the Germans' skipper who is stretchered off
- 7'
First danger from the visitors as Veron gets down the left flank looking for the Dutch striker, who falls under pressure - but no 'Portman Road Syndrome' this time. Play on, says ref Neilsen
- 6'
United very deep and van Nistelrooy has no support as Giggs tries a ball over the top after Scholes won the ball from deep
- 5'
Now it's Neuville looking dangerous down the same flank. Johnsen gets across this time and wins the goalkick as an attempted cross bounces back off the Germany forward
- 4'
Now Silvestre has to back-track quickly as Schneider escapes Johnsen down the United left. Solid start from the Germans who are enjoying the lion's share of possession
- 3'
Leverkusen play some intricate stuff in the United third, but Blanc and Keane clear up as Ze Roberto tries to burst through from deep
- 2'
Cagey start from both sides, then van Nistelrooy loses control and concedes a freekick in the centre circle. Foul on Basturk
- 1'
United, in white, get their first touch as Veron intercepts a loose ball from Ze Roberto. They play it back to Barthez, but van Nistelrooy is offside for the clearance
- 1'
