Overall we've had just ten goals across the nine third round qualifying first leg ties so far tonight.

Hardly surprising given a Champions League league phase spot is at stake.

Before kick off United boss Marc Skinner said that he wanted his side to control tonight's game.

Well, they've had five attempts to Brann's two, including two great chances for Ella Toone.

And they've limited Brann to possession in their own defensive half and half chances at best, yet they still don't have the lead.

A matter of time or changes needed?

All square at the break in Bergen.

Signe Gaupset tries to break away from the United defence but Lisa Naalsund and Maya Le Tissier get back to prevent her getting beyond the edge of the box.

The ball falls to Gaupset again but her shot is blocked behind and Brann can't find the target with the resulting corner.

Good work from Lauren Davidson on the right for Brann but she's got no support.

Her latest cross is fizzed into the box in vain.

Three minutes of added time at the end of the first half of this game, or the first quarter of the two-legged tie if you prefer.

Elisabeth Terland hasn't had much joy yet on her return to her former stomping ground.

She's just been penalised for a shove there while jostling to reach a cross.

Jess Park tries to make room for a shot in the area but she's forced wide before eventually being outnumbered.

United are in full control but they can't seem to find the breakthrough.

They won't panic just yet though. After all they did score nine goals across their three previous games this season.

Ella Toone chips a delightful ball over the top of the Brann defence for full-back Anna Sandberg to run onto.

The Swede set off seconds too early though so the attack is halted by the offside flag.

Signe Gaupset picks up a loose ball in the final third and after clearing her feet fires low at the United goal.

Phallon Tullis-Joyce reads it well through a sea of legs though, and gets her full body behind the stop.

Ah so close to the opener!

It's another free flowing team move from United, with Anna Sandberg sliding Ella Toone into the left hand side of the box.

It runs away from her but a great improvised backheel from Melvine Malard puts it on a plate for Toone to shoot first time but Selma Panengstuen gets both hands behind it to tip it over.

Panengstuen stayed down there after making that catch.

She's fine to continue but her understudy has just headed out down the near touchline to warm up. One to keep an eye on.

Anna Sandberg tricks her way past Mia Authen before swinging a cross into the middle but again Brann stopper Selma Panengstuen is equal to it.

Ella Toone dribbles in field from the left before whipping a pinpoint cross onto the head of Elisabeth Terland.

The striker almost gets too good a header on it though and it flies over the bar.

Just needed a glance that.

As we reach the half hour mark I think it's fair to say that Marc Skinner will be happy with his side's performance so far.

They've limited Brann to possession in their own half and been dangerous going the other way, they just need the finishing touch now.

Thankfully Park is back up and after a few sips of water seems ok to continue.

Brann 0-0 Man Utd

Jess Park is lying flat out on the floor after appearing to catch an arm to the face.

While the physios rush on to treat her both teams head over for a quick tactical briefing by the touchline.

Jess Park and Hinata Miyazawa exchange passes to bypass the Brann low block before Park rolls the ball to her left for Ella Toone to strike.

Toone hits it well but is met with an equally impressive save from Selma Panengstuen.

What a beautiful team move that was.

Jayde Riviere slides in with a wonderful tackle to win the ball back in the Brann half before charging down the right wing.

The full-back then aims a looping cross towards the back post but it's too high for Elisabeth Terland to steer it goalwards.
