Man Utd 1-1 Chelsea (Man Utd win 6-5 on pens): After long and expensive journeys, the fans finally get to the Luzhniki Stadium
Some followers of Sir Alex Ferguson's side wear commemorative clothing to remember the players who died in the Munich air disaster
Having both made the Man Utd starting line-up, Nemanja Vidic and Cristiano Ronaldo take part in the pre-match warm up
The players finally emerge from the dressing rooms shortly before 1945 BST as the opening ceremony comes to an end
The action gets under way and it is not long before Ronaldo is sent flying as he looks to find a way through Chelsea's defence
The Red Devils make the better start, with Wayne Rooney among those putting pressure on John Terry and his defensive colleagues
At the other end, Didier Drogba looks to go on a marauding run but Man Utd captain Rio Ferdinand intervenes to thwart him
A scuffle develops midway through the half when Paul Scholes collides with Claude Makelele going for a header - both get booked
The opening goal arrives in the 26th minute when a Scholes cross finds Ronaldo who leaves Michael Essien flat-footed to head home
The goal is the Portuguese's eighth of Man Utd's European campaign and sparks wild celebrations among his team-mates and fans
Both sides miss chances before Essien's shot deflects to Frank Lampard who equalises moments before the first half comes to an end
Essien is at the heart of the action again soon after the interval when he charges towards goal only to fire over from 25 yards
Vidic looks impressive in defence and repels a couple of further Chelsea attacks before having to help his captain recover from cramp
Chelsea create the better chances, forcing Ferguson to come off the bench and offer instructions to his players
The Blues almost take the lead in the 78th minute when Drogba's curling effort beats Edwin van der Sar but comes back off the post
Three minutes from time Ryan Giggs replaces Scholes to make his 759th appearance for United, beating Bobby Charlton's record
With the match going to extra time, Drogba gets himself sent off after slapping Vidic right in front of the referee
No further goals materialise and the match goes to a penalty shoot-out - Ronaldo is the first to miss before Terry slips to level things up
The teams successfully convert spot-kicks until Nicolas Anelka sees his effort saved by Van der Sar, handing the victory to Man Utd
