Manchester United 2-1 Marseille

Champions League

19:45 GMT, March 15, 2011

Old Trafford, England

Referee: Carlos Velasco Carballo

Corner for United now after Giggs wins it. He will take it too, though the referee is having a word with Chicharito.

Mandanda comes out and claims it, good hands by the Marseille goalkeeper.

GOAL Hernandez

United 1-0 Marseille. Giggs and Rooney combine well on the left and the latter flashes the ball across the six-yard box for Chicharito to tap it in.

Remy finally with an accurate delivery and Cheyrou swings his right foot at the ball from the penalty spot. Smart save from Van der Sar down low.

GOAL Hernandez

Valencia threads it through to Giggs on the right of the area and he crosses it in to Hernandez, who sweeps the ball in from close range once more.

Remy again finds himself in space and he's won Marseille yet another corner.

GOAL Wes Brown own goal.

United 2-1 Marseille. Scholes tries to clear his team-mate's header off the line, but it's already crossed and Marseille are back in it.

It's an 11th Champions League quarter-final for United, though they made it hard work for themselves. A poacher's brace from Chicharito sends them into the last eight. Wes Brown's own goal made the last ten minutes very interesting, but United held on and eagerly await the draw on Friday now.
