    35'
    Carrick not happy about something or other. Seemed to be complaining that he was caught late. But United have another free-kick in a dangerous position.
    34'
    Peréz is penalised for a foul on Van Persie. And on we go here with United holding this 1-0 lead.
    33'
    Van Persie sends a cross spinning to the back post, but Evra can't get a clear head at the ball under some pressure. Roberto with an easy take in the end.

    Roberto with a terrific save to palm a Evra header over the bar from the Van Persie corner. Almost crept in. United almost level at 2-2 on aggregate.
    31'
    United with four attempts at goal, Olympiacos yet to trouble the home goal. And United have a third corner coming up here.
    30'
    MNU 1-0 OLY (25'): This was Van Persie's 6th penalty goal in the #CL. Only Van Nistelrooy (10), Figo (10), Messi (8) have more. Courtesy of our friends at Opta.
    29'
    Valencia looking for Van Persie or Rooney, but can only thump a cross straight into the arms of Roberto, who continues to do his job well. Most of the time.
    28'
    Michel can't be too happy about that penalty conceded by his side. Was no need to make that challenge on Van Persie. Here come United again..
    27'
    Olympiacos continue to show confidence in their own ability by playing the ball out from the back. In no rush to get it up front.
    26'
    In seven knockout Champions League games, Olympiakos have only lost once by more than one clear goal. It was against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in March 2008 (0-3).
    25'
    Carrick with a timely clearance five yards out in front of his own goal. Had to get that one spot on. The Greek side really carrying some menace when they push forward.
    24'
    A huge roar goes up around Old Trafford. Moyes responds by clapping his hands. If this doesn't give United fresh impetus, nothing will.

    GOAL! Van Persie slams the ball to the left of Roberto. The keeper guesses right, but could not keep the ball out of the net. United lead 1-0 on the night.

    PENALTY TO UNITED! Holebas goes in late on Van Persie. An awful challenge on the back of RvP. What a chance here for the home side? A gift really. Should never have made that challenge.
    20'
    Valencia is on the deck here with some problems. Is it a thigh strain? Ashley Young gets warmed up at the side of the pitch.
    19'
    Rafael gets his reward for applying some pressure to Holebas as United earn a corner. Ball comes back out to Giggs seconds later, but straight into the arms of Roberto.
    18'
    That was a brilliant long, raking ball by Giggs to pick out Rooney in the box. And on we go here with United hunting this opening goal.
    17'
    Olympiakos have lost all seven of their Champions League games in England, conceding at least two goals every time and never scoring more than one. But they survive that moment. Just.

    Rooney sees a header come back off a post before being walloped to safety. Roberto was beaten in the visiting goal. Much, much brighter from United.

    A real sore one for Valencia, but United almost suffer the knock-out blow as Perez somehow lifts the ball over the bar from six yards after a fine cutback by Campbell.
