- 79'
Towards the last ten minutes, and the home side are revelling in their time and space, just knocking the ball around
- 78'
Karembeu lets fly from long range, and O'Shea blocks it. That was well struck by the Frenchman
- 78'
Forlan is on and Scholes makes way. Can Forlan finally get his goal from open play tonight?
- 77'
And, as you'd expect, the finish is crisp and clean. It's 4-0 to United, and it's been every bit as one-sided as that suggests
- 77'
Veron finds Scholes, who nicks the ball through to Solskjaer inside the area...
- 75'
It doesn't lead to anything... Diego Forlan could be joining the fray soon. He's warming up
- 75'
Fortune perseveres after a poor pass from Silvestre on the left - and he regains possession. Good work from the substitute
- 74'
Ferdinand's back on his feet - no cause for alarm for United and their multi-million pound signing
- 73'
Ferdinand down after a challenge - a clash of heads. Amanatidis comes off and on comes Christos Patsatzoglou
- 72'
Silvestre goes into the area and is challenged by Amanatidis. Vague appeals for a penalty, appeals which leave the referee disdainfully underwhelmed
- 71'
Fortune, picked out well by Beckham, drills in a shot which is blocked
- 70'
Karembeu gets a low drive in from the edge of the box, but that's not going to pose any problems for Barthez
- 69'
Just over 20 minutes to go, the home side sitting pretty
- 68'
John O'Shea and Quinten Fortune on, Blanc and Giggs off
- 68'
Beckham challenges Djordjevic heavily - it's a bit of a hack, but the England skipper gets away with it
- 67'
The deflection left the keeper stranded and the ball bounced low inside his near post
- 66'
It clips off a defender and leaves Eleftheropoulos completely helpless. Strange goal - but it's 3-0 to United
- 66'
Giggs can cross from the left for the home side now...
- 65'
Veron swings the ball wide to Neville, who crosses early but too deep
- 64'
A misplaced forward pass from United, who frankly aren't being tested tonight
- 63'
No they can't. Silly question, maybe, but you have to ask them. No, honestly. You do
- 63'
Can the visitors brighten things up from this free-kick?
- 62'
It's a plodding second half... Ferdinand is booked for shoving Djordjevic as he tries to burst down the left
- 62'
Throw to United, near the Olympiakos penalty area... Solskjaer is challenged
- 61'
The best moment of the second half so far - nothing comes from the corner, however

- 59'
A change for the visitors: Ofori Quaye is off, and Alekos Alexandris replaces him
- 58'
Beckham on the ball. Songs from the away end again - they're keeping their spirits up despite the current scoreline
- 57'
...but Karembeu is there to usher the ball away from the danger zone
- 57'
United win possession back and Veron has it. Beckham crosses towards Giggs...
- 56'
Olympiakos on the ball - but it's all happening in the middle of the pitch, and there's no telling pass on the end of it
- 55'
Neville and Butt combine to free Beckham, whose low cross from the right is scraped away
- 55'
At the moment, though, it's hard to see where that would come from
- 54'
They need to create something to inject some belief back into their play
- 53'
There's a demoralised, dejected look about Olympiakos at the moment
- 52'
Scholes makes space for a shot from the edge of the box - it's wide, but only just
- 51'
From the short-corner routine, Beckham is fouled by Venetidis. The free-kick is rather flapped away by the keeper
- 51'
...and the Old Trafford fans turn up the volume in response
- 50'
Neat play on the left by United - Veron and Beckham involved. Beckham floats the ball in and wins a corner...
- 49'
But the delivery, again, is terrible - straight out of play
- 49'
Free-kick against Ferdinand, who impedes Ofori Quaye down the Olympiakos left

- 47'
Silvestre has lots of room down the left, but overhits his cross and the visitors can bring that away
- 47'

- 46'
It's poorly delivered, and Veron is there to head clear for United
- 46'
Olympiakos come forward at the start of this second period. They win a free-kick following Butt's challenge...
- 45'
Edu Dracena replaces Giannakopoulos for the second half - that's a defender for a midfielder
- 45'
That's the end of the first half - United lead 2-0 and it's all pretty easy
- 45'
...and it brings him a straight red card - surely that snuffs out any lingering hopes Olympiakos may have harboured of getting something out of this game
- 45'
Ze Elias fouls Veron - it's a late and dangerous challenge...
- 45'
A minute of added time to be played
- 45'
Giggs floats this one into the area, where it's cleared easily enough
- 44'
Karembeu makes it three, bringing down Scholes
- 44'

- 41'
Foul throw by Olympiakos gives United the ball midway inside opposition territory
- 41'
Solskjaer wins the ball back for United, but Butt swipes his attempted pass out of play. Far too much power on that one
- 40'
He's low on subtelty - it's the big noise school of musicianship
- 40'
More songs from the away end, complete with enthusiastic drummer
- 39'
Neville gets into the area, but the ball ricochets off him and Olympiakos have the goal-kick
- 38'
United's followers, by contrast, seem a little subdued. Maybe it's just a bit too comfortable for their heroes at the moment
- 37'
The away fans use that as a cue for a quick sing-song
- 36'
Ofori Quaye bursts away on the break, but dithers and allows himself to be dispossessed
- 36'
Beckham floats it in, and Zetterberg is back to get it away
- 35'
Blanc hits it long: it's cleared as far as Neville, who is fouled by Djordjevic on the right...
- 35'
Karembeu fouls Giggs on half-way - free-kick to Fergie's blue-clad outfit
- 34'
United are enjoying lots of possession, comfortably in control
- 33'
Scholes does superbly to win the ball in midfield, but Antzas gets a crucial touch to keep it away from the lurking Solskjaer
- 33'
Meanwhile, back at the plot...
- 33'
The former boss of Cambridge and a fan of the route one game, in case you didn't know
- 32'
Beckham almost latches onto a loose ball outside the Olympiakos area - the clearance is hoofed away in a way John Beck might have appreciated
- 31'
...his hooked effort flies over the crossbar and United build again
- 31'
Another free-kick coming up, though - Butt the offender. Almost in the same place, and it leads to a shot from Antzas...
- 30'
It's rolled to Zetterberg, who hits a low shot and sees it blocked easily enough
- 29'
Free-kick to Olympiakos - this one can be crossed in. Djordjevic taking charge...
- 28'
Beckham tries to find Silvestre but doesn't - it's an overhit pass
- 27'
Zetterberg on the ball, but his side can't make headway - they're getting crowded out and want too much time to make things happen
- 27'
Olympiakos simply ripped apart by the skill and speed of that movement and thinking
- 26'
He produces a sublime chip from just outside the area - and, with a touch of real panache, United go 2-0 ahead
- 26'
But there's no respite - Beckham links with Veron and the Argentina midfielder is through...
- 26'
Beckham tries to pick out Scholes once more... Amanatidis gets there to head back to his keeper
- 25'
More bright football from Fergie's men, who have had much the better of proceedings
- 24'
Scholes again gets into the Olympiakos area - this time Eleftheropoulos makes a brave and well-timed dive at his feet to end that threat

More danger for the visitors, and there could well be yet more here...
- 22'
He goes to ground, but the referee waves away penalty claims
- 21'
Scholes gets into the area and tries to nick the ball away from Eleftheropoulos...
- 20'
A perfect morale-booster for Fergie's side, who will be pretty much home and dry with a win tonight
- 19'
...and he makes no mistake, firing a low shot past Eleftheropoulos. The home side lead 1-0 - and they deserve it on the balance of play
- 19'
Giggs gets into the area - the ball is blocked but rebounds to the United star...
- 18'
Karembeu misplaces a pass, but Giggs is unable to get on the end of it just outside the Olympiakos penalty area
- 17'
Not for long - good play from the visitors who string an excellent spell of passing together, ended by an offsie flag against Giannakopoulos
- 16'
Amanatidis on the ball as Olympiakos keep it at the back: Silvestre quickly gets in to win it back
- 15'
Veron looks wide to Beckham - uncharacteristically, his first touch is poor and United lose possession

- 14'
A good challenge by Neville, who has made an excellent start to this match
- 13'
Olympiakos really struggling to make any sort of headway here - but suddenly Djordjevic gets a cross in and Zetterberg isn't far away from connecting. Dangerous moment, right out of the blue

- 11'
Butt hooks a long ball forward into Solskjaer's path - he can't quite get there but it's another statement of intent by United

From the flag-kick, there's a huge scramble - Scholes and Solskjaer keep the ball in the danger zone but can't find a way through
