  • Midtjylland-Man City

    117'’ Borring does well the make the yard of space and curls in for KRISTENSEN TO VOLLEY... Tipped over the bar by Hart! in truth it was quite a routine save, but Kristensen's volley on the turn was a good one.

  • Midtjylland-Man City

    106'’ The second period is underway! Every kick will be loaded with tension from now on.

  • Midtjylland-Man City

    105'’ The first period of extra time comes to a close, and the teams will switch ends and then we're off again! We're 15 minutes away from penalties, but City could well nick this before then, the way they are playing now.

  • Midtjylland-Man City

    103'’ Hamann finds Sturridge in space on the right again and he digs out a SHOT... OFF THE BAR!!! The effort surprised everyone! it's hard to believe this is the same City side from the first 90 minutes. or the same Midtjylland for that matter.

  • Midtjylland-Man City

    100'’ As the clock ticks over into the 100s, Baba Collins is down receiving treatment, seemingly for cramp.

  • Midtjylland-Man City

    96'’ Michael Johnson finds himself clean through but he shoots STRAIGHT AT HEINZE! The rebound is crossed back in for IRELAND... Headed wide! That should have been curtains, Heinze was already on the deck when Johnson shot.

  • Midtjylland-Man City

    94'’ Poulsen goes into the book for a foul. He gives a despairing look at the referee that perfectly encapsulates how his team-mates must be feeling.

  • Midtjylland-Man City

    91'’ So, extra time it is then! City kick off. I bet they didn;t think that was going to happen 10 minutes ago!

  • Midtjylland-Man City

    90+3'’ That's the end of normal time and against the odds, Manchester City are still in the UEFA Cup! You have to feel sorry for Midtjylland, they have been the better side across both legs, but how often does it turn out this way? Extra time, and possibly penalties, coming right up!

  • Midtjylland-Man City

    90'’ GOAL!!! Can you believe it?! Man City have equalised, and it's a Danny Califf own goal! Ball's cross was flicked off a City players head and hits the American defender full in the face before rolling into the back of the net!!!

  • Midtjylland-Man City

    84'’ The ball falls for Ched Evans to SHOOT ON THE TURN... His decent half-volley bounces wide of the mark.

  • Midtjylland-Man City

    82'’ Borring bursts down the left again and his lifted cross finds BABA COLLINS ON HIS OWN... He volleys over the bar with his knee! City have used up most of their nine lives now, Babatunde has got in behind them three times now!

  • Midtjylland-Man City

    80'’ Jo is taken off by Mark Hughes with 10 minutes to go, and promising young Welsh striker Ched Evans has that time to make himself a City hero.

  • Midtjylland-Man City

    79'’ Baba Collins is through again and SHOOTS... Slashed wide of the goal!

  • Midtjylland-Man City

    76'’ Considering some of the things that this referee has let slide in this game, Richards's booking for outmuscling Florescu off the ball is a soft one.

  • Midtjylland-Man City

    70'’ Midtjylland have a corenr. Olsen swings it in and Babatunde steps back and is free to HEAD IT... Just wide! Joe Hart was rooted to the spot! Should have been a goal!

  • Midtjylland-Man City

    67'’ Nworuh's match is over after all his good work up front. He is replaced by the equally athletic but slightly taller Baba Collins.

  • Midtjylland-Man City

  • Midtjylland-Man City

    56'’ Mark Hughes tries to make a double switch of Sturridge and Hamann for Elano and Richards. He only manages to make half of that though, as Richards first pretends not to notice and then looks confused!

  • Midtjylland-Man City

    51'’ Nworuh fouls Elano and the Brazilian shoves him out of the way in order to take free-kick quickly! The two square up to each other and Elano goes for him with his head! The referee has been very liberal in this match, and Elano escapes with a yellow.

  • Midtjylland-Man City

    48'’ A City corner comes across and Richards's header rebounds and runs loose for PETROV... A Midtjylland player dives in fornt of the Bulgarian to block the shot! Heroic stuff!

  • Midtjylland-Man City

    46'’ A couple of cable-ties slapped on and the second half is ready to go. City MUST score in the 45 minutes if they are to keep their European hopes alive!

  • Midtjylland-Man City

    45'’ Half time blown here in Denmark, and City haven't really staked their claim for a place in the UEFA Cup group stage as yet. Micah Richards has been immense in his new holding midfield role, but has been found wanting with the ball at his feet. Stay tuned for the second half!

  • Midtjylland-Man City

    44'’ Nice build-up play by City, the first time they've really done so. Johnson flicks the ball out for PETROV TO FIRE A LOW BALL IN... Heinze has to get down and hold onto the ball with Jo following up!

  • Midtjylland-Man City

    41'’ Great football by Midtjylland! Florescu and Olsen combine with a nice one-two trinagle down the right and Olsen fires a cross in but nobody's there to get on the end of it!

  • Midtjylland-Man City

    28'’ Borring breaks forward down the left. He's held up well by Dunne but he spins and gets the cross in for SALAMI... Great covering tackle by Ball! City were in real trouble then!

  • Midtjylland-Man City

    8'’ Nworuh flicks the long ball on with a header and Salami latches on to SHOOT... Good save Hart! The young keeper got down low to parry the shot!

  • Midtjylland-Man City

    7'’ City have a corner. It's headed out by Califf only as far as IRELAND... Stephen Ireland stretches to scoop a volley over the bar!

  • Midtjylland-Man City

    1'’ Welcome to Midtjylland v Manchester City in the UEFA Cup qualifiers! city are a goal down following that defeat in Manchester. They have Micah Richards back in defence and striker Jo makes his debut. The action is underway!

  • Man City-Midtjylland

    90+3'’ It's all over at the City of Manchester Stadium, and Midtjylland have grabbed a famous win! It's City first ever European home defeat. Now they have a job to do in Denmark. Thanks for joining us, see you for Arsenal v West Brom on Saturday afternoon!

  • Man City-Midtjylland

    90+2'’ Midtjylland are proving inpenetrable now, with Reid heading away everything City throw at them. Now they break and FLorescu SHOOTS... Hart parries well! That save could be crucial!

  • Man City-Midtjylland

    89'’ From the resultant goal kick, Heinze is booekd for taking too long.

  • Man City-Midtjylland

    88'’ The Midtjylland defence don't deal with a long ball and BOJINOV CAN STEAL IN... Heis volley on the turn loops over the bar! That was a difficult chance, but it could prove costly.

  • Man City-Midtjylland

    85'’ Midtjylland make their final change, bringing on Dennis Flinta for Salami. City are five minutes away from their first ever home defeat to foreign opposition in European football.

  • Man City-Midtjylland

    78'’ Johnson is fouled and City have a free ick in a good area. Petrov will take it... OFF THE BAR!! Petrov casually curled the ball over the wall and it rebounds off the goal frame!

  • Man City-Midtjylland

    69'’ Kelvin Etuhu is on now, at the expense of Elano, as Mark Hughes looks to add some more muscle in the middle of the park.

  • Man City-Midtjylland

    69'’ Tal Ben Haim goes into the book for a foul on Thygesen.

  • Man City-Midtjylland

    63'’ Mark Hughes is responding now, by bringing on Valeri Bojinov for Felipe Caicedo.

  • Man City-Midtjylland

    58'’ Caicdeo lifts a ball over to the far post and PETROV CROSSES... No one there in front of the open goal! But the ball comes out to ELANO... Flies just wide of the far post! The visitors under real pressure now.

  • Man City-Midtjylland

    57'’ Reid goes into the book for a cynical trip on Sturridge.

    55'’ The little Midtjylland striker Nworuh is brought off to be replaced by his fellow Nigerian, Baba Collins.

  • Man City-Midtjylland

    50'’ Martin Petrov again receives the crossfield ball and controls to STRIKE... Blazed over the bar from a tough angle. There's a lot more spark about City since the break.

  • Hafnarfjordur-Aston Villa

    90+4'’ The final whistle brings the match to a close. A largely uneventful second half after an opening flurry from the Villa...

  • Man City-Midtjylland

    46'’ We're underway in the second half at Eastlands, and the evening could well end in tears for City is they are not careful.

  • Hafnarfjordur-Aston Villa

    80'’ Routledge scarpers down the right, held back by Bjorn Daniel Sverrisson. It is not the first time the former Palace and Tottenham man has been fouled on the counter. Yellow card.

  • Man City-Midtjylland

    45+2'’ The half-time whistle goes and Mark Hughes storms downt he tunnel with a right face on him! It looks as though he's about to give his first rollocking at City. TAfter a slow start, this match has really come to life now. Stick around for the second half!

  • Hafnarfjordur-Aston Villa

    75'’ FH change: Gudmundur Saevarsson and Jonas Grani Gardarsson are on.

  • Man City-Midtjylland

    42'’ City come again and STURRIDGE BLASTS FROM DISTANCE... Off the bar! He's getting closer with every effort...

  • Hafnarfjordur-Aston Villa

    72'’ Villa change: Wayne Routledge on for Young.

  • Hafnarfjordur-Aston Villa

    71'’ Friedel with a great fingertip save around the post!!

  • Man City-Midtjylland

    40'’ Dunne heads a Midtjylland corner away and City break with Caicedo. He switches play across to Sturridge and now Richards has it in the box. The defender chips a cross back to CAICEDO... Califf is back to head the cross over. Good break from City!

  • Hafnarfjordur-Aston Villa

    66'’ Villa change as FH vaguely threaten again: Moustapha Salifou on for Stiliyan Petrov, who has had a quiet game.

  • Man City-Midtjylland

    37'’ Now Corluka goes into the book himself. Heis chasing of Thygesen through midfield proved fruitless, he tugged at his shorts and felled the midfielder. Two very different but equally worthy bookings in as many minutes.

  • Hafnarfjordur-Aston Villa

    64'’ LAURSEN HEADS HOME A FOURTH. From a corner. Taken by Young, of course.

  • Hafnarfjordur-Aston Villa

    62'’ FH change: Asgeir Gunnar Asgeirsson on for David Por Vidarsson.

  • Man City-Midtjylland

  • Man City-Midtjylland

    34'’ Gelson intercpets in midfield and slides a ball forward for Sturridge, who turns inside and SHOOTS... Low and a foot wide of the post.

  • Hafnarfjordur-Aston Villa

    57'’ The crowd are irritated by a touchline decision then again when they deem Harewood to have fouled someone... the front man wins the ball and gets a shot away to the near post, where Sigurdsson gets fingers to it to concede a corner. Good, hard work by Harewood.

  • Hafnarfjordur-Aston Villa

    55'’ Matthias Gudmundsson felled near the penalty area by Barry, who collects a yellow card for the cynical challenge. If this goes in, O'Neill will have something to worry about...

  • Man City-Midtjylland

    25'’ Ben Haim joins the attack and feeds Petrov on the wing. The cross comes in and STURRIDGE IS UNMARKED AND HE VOLLEYS... He miscued it and the ball almost stops dead! To be fair it was not a bad effort, but he had to time that exactly right and he didn't.

  • Man City-Midtjylland

    21'’ Petrov gets a little break after some confusion between two defenders and he's in the box to chip it over the keeper... The angle was a bit too wide and it hits the top of the net. It was a big ask, even for the skillful Bulgarian.

  • Man City-Midtjylland

    15'’ GOAL!!! Midtjylland take the lead! Dunne loses possession under pressure and Thygesen bursts forward. He draws the defenders and finds Olsen in space and he blasts the ball in from the edge of the box giving Hart no chance!

  • Hafnarfjordur-Aston Villa

    46'’ The second half begins, Villa kicking to our right now.

  • Hafnarfjordur-Aston Villa

    45+1'’ Referee Radek Matejek blows up for half-time. Mostly good news for the West Midlands side, who must surely ease home from this position in the tie.

  • Man City-Midtjylland

    1'’ Welcome to Eurosport-Yahoo!'s LIVE coverage of Manchester City v Midtjylland! We're straight into the action as the match is underway!

  • Hafnarfjordur-Aston Villa

    45'’ FH PULL ONE BACK!!! Matthias Gudmundsson heads home at the back stick from a cross by Tryggvi Gudmundsson. Villa go to sleep again.

  • Hafnarfjordur-Aston Villa

    44'’ Young plays in Harewood... the big man has all the time in the world as he advances on Sigurdsson's goal, but the shot-stopper does his job. Good block, but Marlon should have scored.

  • Hafnarfjordur-Aston Villa

    38'’ AGBONLAHOR SCORES A THIRD!! A great run by the nippy attacker, playing up front tonight with Marlon Harewood - he beat several tired-looking men including Dennis Michael Siim before curling past the 'keeper inside the far post. Finish.

  • Hafnarfjordur-Aston Villa

    34'’ Matthias Gudmundsson blazer over from on the penalty spot!! A good passing move between several players led up to it, including Tryggvi GudmundssonÂ… should have been a goal, and what a goal.

  • Hafnarfjordur-Aston Villa

    7'’ Young again on the left side, twisting and turning away from his markers - and smashing the ball in off the far post!!! Goalkeeper Gunnar Sigurdsson got a finger to it, but in it went - nestling just inside the opposite post. Sublime.

  • Hafnarfjordur-Aston Villa

    4'’ BARRY SCORES FOR THE VILLA!! Ashley Young bent a ball in towards Gabriel Agbonlahor and it took a deflection, falling to Barry at the near post - and he put it away.

  • Hafnarfjordur-Aston Villa

    1'’ As the match kicks off, Villa attacking from right to left, the biggest news is that Gareth Barry starts - and would be cup tied in Europe should he move to Liverpool. So we guess that move is off then.
