Owen的帽子戏法！

• 90+2' The full-time whistle goes at the Volkswagon Arena, and an injury-ravaged Manchester United have come through their Champions League clash with Wolfsburg in fine fashion - a hat-trick from Michael Owen gives the English champions a 3-1 victory! Thanks for joining us.
• 90+1' United see out the final two minutes with real composure, keeping the ball in their half as Wolfsburg look stunned.
• 90' There will be two minutes added at the end of this second half, and there is a fan on the field who has words with the Wolfsburg players before he is hauled off.
• 90' GOAL!!! OWEN NETS HIS HAT-TRICK! The striker breaks on the counter-attack with a run down the left before cutting inside and dinking his shot coolly over Benaglio! Moments before, Riether fails to make contact with a precise cross from Josue, and he should have scored for Wolfsburg before Owen's break!
• 89' Misimovic lines up a dangerous free-kick from 25 yards out, and this is a huge opportunity for Wolfsburg...but the free-kick is poor and Kuszczak claims comfortably.
• 88' Owen should grab his hat-trick! The striker is clean through on goal but dinks his shot straight at Benaglio as the chance goes begging!
• 87' Wolfsburg continue to pile forward with Misimovic at the forefront of everything, but United hold firm.
• 86' This really will be a triumph for Sir Alex Ferguson, to have shuffled his injury-ravaged squad to produce this kind of display.
• 85' Misimovic combines with Dzeko, but United defend stoutly through Park and Carrick, and that is superb from the duo!
• 84' Wolfsburg bring the ball forward through Gentner now, as United look to protect their slender lead in the final six minutes.
• 83' GOAL!!! IT'S A BRACE FOR MICHAEL OWEN! The striker restores United's lead, and it was all thanks to Gabriel Obertan! The winger jinks between three Wolfsburg defenders before putting the ball on a plate for Owen to finish!
• 82' Anderson again brings the ball forward and this time finds Gibson out on the right before the chance peters out.
• 81' United continue to counter on the break through Obertan on the left, and the visitors are performing very well.
• 80' Anderson enjoys a rare moment of freedom in the Wolfsburg half as Scholes picks him out in space, but he quickly runs out of options.
• 79' Dzeko steals in at the back post to meet Costa's hopeful cross, but he puts his effort wide after stooping low on the stretch.
• 78' Dzeko is winning everything in the air, but is lacking support in attack now.
• 77' United are continuing to battle fiercely in midfield as Wolfsburg pile forward in frustrated fashion.
• 76' A raking pass from Costa finds Dzeko at the back post, who takes on an audacious volley which Kuszczak tips wide - good effort.
• 75' Schafer continues to stride purposefully upfield from his full-back position, and it was his cross which gave the hosts their equaliser.
• 74' United stroke the ball around at the back, and with Fletcher and Carrick in defence, that is hardly a surprise.
• 73' Gabriel Obertan and Antonio Valencia come on to replace Welbeck and Nani, respectively as both managers make a double change.
• 72' Misimovic has been pushed up to join Dzeko after Grafite's exit.
• 71' Hasebe is replaced by Ziani, while Grafite is taken off with Dejagah coming on in his place.
• 70' Gibson charges down the right for United and continues to look very bright in forward positions, running from deep.
• 69' Grafite fires wide from a good position out on the right, and that could well be his final act.
• 68' Armin Veh is frantically preparing his substitutes too, as both managers eye changes in this second half.
• 67' Sir Alex Ferguson looks set to make a number of changes as the entire United bench warm up on teh touchline.
• 66' Welbeck and Owen exchange passes in the Wolfsburg half, but they cannot combine to create an opening.
• 65' Nani gets very gingerly to his feet after making that block, and that prompts Antonio Valencia to warm up vigorously on the touchline.
• 64' Nani makes a very brave diving block to clear from Misimovic's shot from the edge of the United penalty area.
• 63' Evra concedes a corner after a good run to block Hasebe's cross from down the Wolfsburg right.
• 62' Grafite is ruled offside after scuffing his shot anyway with just Kuszczak to beat, and he will be quietly relieved.
• 61' Gibson makes a determined run down the left which almost catches out Schafter after another forward run from the defender.
• 60' Grafite is slowly beginning to get more involved in the game after a very subdued first half, and exchanges passes with Dzeko.
• 59' Schafer is looking very sharp for the hosts as they press forward once more through he and Hasebe.
• 57' Wolfsburg are clearly buoyed by the equaliser and the home crowd are raucous in support of their side.
• 56' GOAL!!! DZEKO LEVELS FOR WOLFSBURG! Schafer whips in a vicious delivery from the left which splits Carrick and Fletcher with Dzeko storming into the box to power his header past Kuszczak!
• 54' Misimovic brings the ball forward for the hosts before picking out Dzeko outwide, but Park is in neatly to make the challenge.
• 53' Grafite is the latest to be caught offside, and this one was very marginal indeed! Carrick just about plays him off, but the forward is furious with the decision.
• 52' Welbeck finds Nani outwide with a crisp pass, but the Portugese again strays offside, and that is sloppy.

• 45+1' The half-time whistle goes at the Volkswagon Arena, and Manchester United lead 1-0 courtesy of Michael Owen's 44th-minute header!
• 45' There will be just one minute of added time at the end of this first half with United leading through Owen.
• 44' GOAL!!! OWEN GIVES UNITED THE LEAD! From absolutely nowhere, Nani whips in a sublime delivery from out on the left, and Owen climbs above Schafer to meet it with a downward header past Benaglio!
• 43' What a save from Kuszczak! Hasebe drills a fierce shot from 25 yards which looks to be heading towards the top corner of Kuszczak's net, only for the Pole to tip the ball over!
• 42' Benaglio is caught out after he comes for a high ball on the edge of his box, with Nani hammering a shot from 35 yards to lob the keeper, only to see the ball sail wide.
• 41' Costa picks the ball up from Benaglio at the back as Wolfsburg build slowly with half-time approaching.
• 40' Gibson plays a crisp pass out to Park on the right, who draws a clumsy challenge from Costa.
• 39' Welbeck and Owen play a neat one-two on the edge of the Wolfsburg box, but the gangly forward drags his shot wide.

• 32' Gentner whips in a superb delivery from the left which Kuszczak does superbly to punch away to safety with Dzeko lurking ominously!
• 31' Wolfsburg go back on the attack through Dzeko, with Hasebe following him down the left to provide support.
• 30' Welbeck scores, but it is ruled off in a very marginal offside decision! Anderson plays a slick through ball to the forward, who takes a touch before sliding a clinical finish past Benaglio, but to no reward!
• 29' Benaglio keeps the ball at the back patiently for Wolfsburg, exchanging passes with Costa and Riether.
• 28' Nani powers down the left once more, but again has his run quickly curtailed by Schafer, who is having the better of the winger so far.
• 27' Riether is tackled well by Nani, but the winger immediately loses out to Costa as Wolfsburg regain possession.
• 26' Gentner picks out Dzeko down the left but, after taking a sublime touch to trap the ball, fires a dreadful shot wide.
• 25' Dzeko is ruled offside as he attempts to latch on to Riether's through ball, while Grafite continues to be quiet.
• 24' Nani surges down the left, but sees his run ended abruptly by Barzagli, who is fortunately for Wolfsburg, better at marking than he is at heading.
• 23' It should be 2-0 Wolfsburg, and what must Josue think having whipped in some delightful deliveries from the right, but to no avail.
• 22' Misimovic contrives to miss another sitter from inside the United box, putting another free header wide of Kuszczak's near post from Josue's cross from the right!
• 21' Schafer, who seems to be everywhere for Wolfsburg at the back, clears at the near post from Anderson's corner.
• 20' Park wins a corner down the right, and he does not seem to realise that he is playing at full-back, but no matter, United have a corner.
• 19' Wolfsburg should really be 1-0 up after Barzagli's unbelievable miss, but Ferguson's side have a reprieve as Nani takes the ball forward.
• 18' Barzagli misses an absolute sitter! The defender rises high to meet Misimovic's corner from the right, but inexplicably heads over the bar, unmarked and just 10 yards out!
• 17' Anderson has been virtually anonymous for United as he dummies a pass from Evra which drifts through to Park, who is miles offside.
• 16' Gibson storms through the Wolfsburg half to latch on to Scholes's pass, but his first-time shot flashes wide of Benaglio's far post!
• 15' Nani bides his time out on the left in one of the slowest counter-attacks you will ever see, but United keep the ball at least.
• 14' Scholes attempts to calm things down in midfield following that controversial decision from the referee as the home fans get louder and louder.
• 13' Wolfsburg have their vociferous appeals for a penalty rejected to their dismay by the referee! Carrick appears to wipeout Hasebe, who goes down in the United penalty area, but a corner is awarded - the home fans are in uproar!
• 12' Misimovic is proving instrumental for Wolfsburg, dropping off the front two and linking play from the midfield.
• 11' Park forces his way down the right at pace, but his low cross to Welbeck only finds Barzagli at the near post.
• 10' Gibson and Scholes keep the ball patiently on halfway as Josue and Gentner hussle and harry the pair.
• 9' Wolfsburg have the third worst defensive record in Bundesliga, but Misimovic demonstrates with a fierce shot from range what his side are all about.
• 8' Grafite manages to take the ball to the edge of the United box, despite not having it fully under control at any point - sheer doggedness more than anything - but Fletcher intervenes.
• 7' Nani scurries down the left and draws Schafer into a strong challenge as United keep the ball well in the Wolfsburg half.
• 6' Darren 'utility' Fletcher, exchanges passes with Michael 'utility' Carrick, before Park picks up the ball down the right.
• 5' Schafer, who has been recalled at right-back, whips in an exquisite cross from the left which zips across the United six-yard box! Where was Dzeko when he needed him?
• 4' Grafite has a low shot which is straight at Tomasz Kuszczak from the edge of the penalty area, perhaps seeking a bobble off the turf.
• 3' Danny Welbeck gets a bit excited and strays about 10 yards offside as Paul Scholes slides an incisive pass beyond Ricardo Costa.
• 2' Park forages his way down the right from wing-back and whips in a low cross which is cleared away by Schafer.
• 1' The first half is underway at the Volkswagon Arena, and the pitch is frankly dreadful as Manchester United kick us off.
• - Matt F thinks it will be 2-1 to United, while Andrew W is so confident that it will be 3-0 to the English side that he has posted it twice. Man United for Life says that 2-1 to United is 'realistic', and who is to argue with that?
• - Samanta3699 is adamant that Wolfsburg will win this evening, as the players emerge from a green-tinted tunnel to be greeted by a vociferous crowd at the VW Arena.

• - Sam M thinks it will be 2-0 to United, while Perfectparfit is predicting a 3-1 triumph for the visitors. What do you think? Post your shouts below
• - Edin Dzeko is obviously the major threat for Wolfsburg, with the 23-year-old having notched 57 goals in 97 appearances!
