Ahram Online provided live updates of Wednesday's match between Bayern Munich and Manchester United in the second leg of UEFA Champions League quarterfinals
Published in Ahram Online on 09 - 04 - 2014

Full time: Bayern Munich 3-1 Manchester United (4-2 on aggregate)
The referee blows his final whistle, Bayern Munich reach the Champions League semi-final with a 4-2 aggregate victory
90 The referee adds three minutes of stoppage time.
88 A tame Pizarro shot is saved by De Gea.
87 Three minutes remaining. Bayern have all but reached the semi-finals as they remain on course of becoming the first side to win back-to-back Champions League titles in the competition's new format.
84 Bayern's Mueller, scorer of the second goal is replaced with striker Claudio Pizarro.
82 United are roaming around United's area with ease. They are in total control in the dying minutes.
81 United's Danny Welbeck is replaced with Adnan Januzaj.
79 Bayern look likely to add a fourth. United almost give up.
76 Arjen Robben effectively kills off United's hopes. He cuts inside the sluggish Vidic and fires a low shot that deflects off the Serbian and goes past David De Gea.
##
76 GOOOOAAAAL FOR BAYERN MUNICH!!
75 Fifteen minutes remaining before the end. Everything to play for as United can still spring a surprise and advance.
74 Bayern defender Rafinha receives a yellow card.
73 Robben is at the heart of most of Bayern's attempts, weaving his magic down the right and left flanks.
70 United left-back Patrice Evra receives a yellow card for hauling down Arjen Robben, who was racing towards goal.
68 Thomas Mueller converts a low cross from Robben from close range as United's defence fails to hold firm against a wave after wave of Bavarian attacks.
##
67 GOOOOAAAAL for Bayern Munich!!
67 Ribery's darting runs down the left are unsettling United's defence.
64 It's a breathtaking end-to-end game now. Both sides look capable of scoring.
62 Wayne Rooney squanders a golden chance for United!! Welbeck squares the ball for him but his mis-hit shot goes wide from inside the area.
61 Ribery hits a low shot into the side netting as Bayern pile on pressure. Should both sides fail to score, the match will go to extra time.
58 The unmarked Mandzukic heads home a pinpoint cross from Franck Ribery as Bayern immediately restore parity, what a thrilling second-half!
##
58 GOOOOAAAAL FOR BAYERN!!
57 The Bayern defence fails to clear a cross from Antonio Valencia, allowing Patrice Evra to fire an unstoppable volley into the top corner.
##
57 GOOOOAAAAL FOR UNITED!!
57 United are gradually abandoning their firm defensive strategy.
55 In a rare attempt from United, Kagawa lets fly from distance but his tame shot is easily collected by keeper David De Gea.
54 A volley by Mandzukic is blocked by a defender and Alaba fires wide on the follow-up.
50 A low cross by Lahm from the right is cleared by the United defence. The Red Devils are successful in keeping Bayern forwards at bay.
49 Bayern continue from where they left off in the first half. They are laying siege to United's area in the early stages.
47 Man United are expected to change their cautious strategy at some point.
The second half is underway
The referee blows his half-time whistle
45 The referee adds one minute of stoppage time.
44 Bayern winger Robben, as usual, cuts inside after a marauding run but his shot is blocked by the defence.
43 The first half did not witness a single goal-scoring chance. That's very boring, isn't it?
40 Patrice Evra goes down under a challenge from Lahm but the referee waves play on. Television replays shows there is a clear foul.
38 A Toni Kroos shot from the edge of the area goes over the bar.
36 Even Rooney, who spearheads United's attack on the break, back-pedals to his own half once Bayern gain possession.
33 Bayern's long balls are not causing any troubles for a rugged United backline.
30 Chances are still few and far between. It remains to be seen when Man United will push forward to try to score the decisive goal they need.
28 United defender Nemanja Vidic is booked for an aerial challenge on Mario Mandzukic.
27 Another long-range shot from Franck Ribery hits the side netting.
26 United's massed ranks are too hard to beat.
24 David Alaba skews his shot high over following a layoff from Ribery.
23 Lahm is now playing in an advanced position to support Bayern forwards, who are still struggling to mount threats.
21 A promising attacking attempt from Bayern ends with an offside flag after Ribery runs onto a through pass from Mueller.
19 The spark and imagination of Bayern wingers Ribery and Robben are nowhere to be seen.
17 At the other end, Antonio Valencia finds the net after connecting with a Kagawa cross at the far post but his goal is correctly ruled out for offside.
15 It was a one-way traffic in the first quarter of an hour, but United's defence is still very tight as Bayern struggle to carve out openings.
14 Arjen Robben escapes his marker in the left hand side of the penalty area but his initial cross is blocked by the defence. He gathers the ball again and sends a curling left-footer that goes narrowly wide.
11 Bayern totally dominate possession. They move the ball around smoothly but they are still unable to create a genuine goal-scoring chance.
8 The first chance falls to Man United on the counter! Wayne Rooney latches onto a long ball but he dithers on the ball, with his eventual shot striking two defenders. He should have done better.
##
6 A half-volley by Franck Ribery goes wide from the edge of the area. United are yet to get out of their own half.
5 Bayern's energetic wingers whip in repeated crosses, but United's defence is clearing them.
3 Will Man United be able to soak up the early pressure?
2 Roared on by their passionate crowd, Bayern are looking to pile on pressure in the early stages.
The match is underway
20:30 Man United will need to score at the Allianz Arena if they are to have a chance of advancing. A goalless draw will tip the tie in Bayern's favour on the away goal rule.
20:10 Bayern are fielding an attacking-minded midfield behind a lone striker in Mario Mandzukic. Man United's starting XI includes two holding midfielders in Michael Carrick and Darren Fletcher.
19:45: Manchester United starting line-up: David De Gea; Phil Jones, Chris Smalling, Nemanja Vidic, Patrice Evra; Darren Fletcher, Michael Carrick; Antonio Valencia, Wayne Rooney, Shinji Kagawa; Danny Welbeck
