All
Highlights

90+3'

The referee blows for full time. That's a fair result, given United's commitment to defence and Shakhtar's persistence.

90+2'

Phil Jones replaces Danny Welbeck.

90+2'

Bernard has replaced Taison.

90+1'

Ferreyra and Bernard are on, and Luiz Adriano and another player are out. There's a minute left.

89'

United sitting in their half. Not literally, obviously. Srna hits it long, and Vidic claims. Carrick finds Evra, who sends it long for Van Persie, who wins a corner on the left.

87'

Rafael has space on the right to cross, but there's nobody in the box to aim at and the keeper claims the ball.

86'

United manage to get hold of the ball. And Giggs almost slides Welbeck in on the left, but Shakhtar intercept and break until Douglas Costa runs the ball out on the left.

85'

Shakhtar are spending the whole time in United's half, and the Mancunuians are defending deep. Taison blasts a ball in from the right, and it deflects high and goalwards, and de Gea tips over for a corner.

84'

Shevchuk is barged over by Rafael in midfield. Fernando is replaced now, and Ilsinho comes on.

83'

Giggs is fouled by Taison in the midfield, earning his team some respite.

81'

By goal kick, I meant throw in, obviously.

80'

Srna's fierce cross is collected by Valencia, and he and Giggs swap passes on the right, winning a goal kick.

79'

Welbeck's pass inside to Cleverley is overhit, and Shakhtar break until Welbeck is back on the left wing to win the ball back.

78'

The home crowd are urging their side on to find the winner. United will do well not to crumble mentally after such solid defending so far.

76'

GOAL! Shakhtar 1-1 Manchester United! Taison scores, and they deserve that. Rakitskiy slams a low cross on the left, it hits Vidic on the ankles, and Taison follows up to boot into the roof of the net.

75'

Shevchuk and Taison down the left, but they're repelled and now it's Srna on the right. United collect the ball and attack down the left. Cleverley is then across to clear on the right.

74'

Carrick cleverly buys a free kick by going to ground just outside the box. That's taken the pressure off his side momentarily. United send the ball long, but Shakhtar attack again until Giggs cynically takes Srna down.

72'

United press the Shakhtar defence, but Kucher advances. Eventually United win the ball back, but Welbeck can't keep a ball in on the byline.

71'

A United chance! Van Persie collects a return pass on the edge of the box, finds himself a little space, and on the turn his shot is blocked by Rakitskiy.

70'

Rafael is over to cover the other side of the penalty area to rob the ball from Taison, as he waited for it to drop.
