Evergreen Giggs earns United point at Benfica

Benfica 1 Man Utd 1

Ryan Giggs' 27th Champions League goal helped Manchester United escape with a 1-1 draw from a difficult encounter with Benfica at the Stadium of Light.

The visitors were deservedly behind to Oscar Cardozo's effort when Giggs cut in from the right flank three minutes from the break.

As he has done so often in his 22 years as a professional, Giggs cut in from the wing and swiftly transferred the ball onto his left foot before rifling home from 20 yards.
