 A stubborn Besiktas side and a scintilating home crowd made United's task an even harder ordeal without taking into account time differences. In the end the winning goal came from a player, who but for circumstances on Saturday, may not have played tonight. Nani's shot was only parried by the goalkeeper and Scholes this time arrived on time, heading the ball out of the keepers reach to kick start United's champions league campaign.
