93'FT: LASK 0-5 Man U! All over in Austria! It was a very one-sided contest. Ighalo put United ahead in the first half, James made it 0-2 and then three games in the last 10 minutes from Mata, Greenwood and Pereira mean that the second leg, whenever it's played, is completely meaningless. That's all from us, thanks for your company and see you again soon!

-
93'And it's a fifth!!! Pereira joins in the fun! United hae a free-klck, the ball is passed to Pereira who has a speculative effort from 30 yards, Schlager lazily tries to stop with his right hand and despite getting a hand to it, who can't keep it out. Average keeping and that's 0-5.
-
91'Greenwood scores!! With the help of both posts, but they all count! Chong passes to Greenwood and he beats Schlager at the near post! The ball struck both posts, but the keeper shouldn't have been beaten there.
Yellow card
-
90'Reiter pulls back Chong and it's a clear yellow.
-
89'LASK are caught offside.
-
88'Balic wins a corner off Bailly, but the ball actually bounced back off Balic. That should have been a goal kick.
Substitution
-
85'Man U sub: Greenwood comes on for Ighalo.
-
Statistics of J. Mata in Europa League1120.18400
-
82'That's 0-3!! Mata scores again and that's the tie done and dusted I would say. Mata starts the move, he passes to Fred who sends a lovely pass back to the Spaniard and Mata makes no mistake.
-
81'Not for me. Bailly flicks it on, the ball strikes Fred on the chest and then on his arm which is by his side. Correct decision.
-
80'Shouts for a handball by Fred, but the ref says no! The VAR is now checking. The ref then tells LASK to play on.
-
78'Balic passes to himself to beat Maguire and then Bailly has to concede the corner.

-
72'LASK sub: Balic on for Frieser.
Substitution
Substitution
-
71'Man Utd sub: Chong for James.
-
70'Michorl!!!! That was good play! The LASK man twists and turns near the edge of the box to leave Bailly on the floor before firing a disappointing shot over. Great build up play, but a dreadful finish.
-
68'Holland fouls McTominay.
-
66'The game has calmed down in the last few minutes as United are very happy with the situation.

-
45'HT: LASK 0-1 Man U! Half-time in Austria! United deservedly lead at the interval thanks to a brilliant Ighalo goal in the 28th minute. Fernandes, who assisted, has also been sharp and Mata and Maguire have also come very close on a few occasions. For the home side, they have hardly threatened apart from Frieser's hit which was cleared off the line by Bailly. Plain sailing for OGS' side so far. Back for more shortly!

45'LASK threaten down United's right and then Renner's inaccurate pass to Michorl ends the first period.
-
45'One added minute.
-

-

-
28'What a goal by Ighalo!!! That was quality! Fernandes starts the move with a run from halfway, he gets a bit of luck off the defender and then passes to the defender who takes three touches alternating between his feet before firing a left footed thunderbolt from the D which goes in off the bar!
