Champions League Final Update

At halftime at Moscow, Manchester United and Chelsea are deadlocked at 1-1. Cristiano Ronaldo scored at 26 minutes to give the Red Devils a 1-0 lead. Frank Lampard equalized for the Blues right before the end of the 45th minute.

UPDATE:
Neither team scored in the second half. The championship match will go into two 15-minute overtime periods, played to their conclusion, with no sudden death or Golden Goal.

ANOTHER UPDATE:
The game is going into the penalty-kick shootout. I will be the first such final to reach this point since the AC Milan-Liverpool final in 2005 at Istanbul.

One Chelsea player who won't take part is Didier Drogba, who was tossed out of the game during the second overtime period after he slapped Nemanja Vidic on the face during a fracas.
