Man Utd 2-0 Brann (agg: 2-1)

Brann have a very rare foray up the pitch but United deal with it. The ball is sent towards Signe Gaupset by Lauren Davidson but Julia Zigiotti gets there first.

YELLOW CARD

Man Utd 2-0 Brann (agg: 2-1)

Brann captain Karoline Haugland is the first to get booked and it's a clear yellow card.

She tugs Jess Park's shirt collar and drags her to the ground.

Surely if you're Brann at this point you start to consider a bit of route one?

They're continuing to try to play it out from the back and it just isn't working.

I feel like I'm repeating myself, but this is such a strong start for the hosts. They're all over Brann.

The Norwegians are sitting deep but it's not working against the sheer numbers Marc Skinner's side are committing to their attack.

Anna Sandberg sends a corner towards the near post but the visitors manage to clear.

Oooh. Melvine Malard nearly ends up one-on-one after a great flick through to the United striker, but one of the Brann defenders stretches out and manages to prevent her running through.

A string of corners for Brann don't result in anything of note. There are some good deliveries but United have it covered.

It's been an excellent start for the hosts.

Manchester United definitely want to extend their lead. They're throwing lots of players forward, applying the pressure high up the pitch and it's working against a Brann side who have been very shaky.

They're nearly in again as Melvine Malard overturns the ball in the box but the visitors manage to recover.

Another!

From a one-goal deficit to a one-goal lead within just 13 minutes.

Julia Zigiotti floats a corner towards the back post and Elisabeth Terland is in the right place to send a header past Selma Panengstuen.

Brann have given the ball away a few times under little pressure and that was another gift from Ingrid Stenevik.

Elisabeth Terland stands with her arms in the air in the box afterwards as her team-mates run to congratulate her.

She took it first time and boom, back of the net. Proper striker's finish.

Elisabeth Terland (9 mins)

United are level on aggregate!

It hasn't taken long. Elisabeth Terland does well to press high up the pitch and win the ball.

Jayde Riviere swings a cross into the box but Brann have a nightmare clearing the ball and it falls straight to Terland, who fires into the top corner.

Man Utd 0-0 Brann (agg: 0-1)

Great move but Jess Park can't deliver the final product.

Julia Zigiotti snatches the ball in the middle of the park and threads it through. Park runs into the visitors' box and wriggles past the defenders but can't get a clean strike away.

There's a small contingent of Norwegian fans in the corner at Leigh Sports Village. They are waving flags and held up a banner before kick-off which I'm told by the locals said the word "dreams" in big letters.
