It was an intense, emotional, and riveting match in the UEFA Champions League. After Erik ten Hag’s team was ultimately unsuccessful in the match and Marcus Rashford was sent off, FC Copenhagen emerged victorious 4-3 thanks to a spectacular late winner. That night in the Danish capital will never be forgotten as Copenhagen won the seven-goal thiller.
United’s play, which usually ends with a goal for the opposition, starts with a Bruno diagnosis that finds Rashford, who then realizes Wan-Bissaka, who pushes into the box for McTominay. And McTominay, fulfilling his role, takes a touch, gathers his thoughts, and squares a tap-in for Hojlund! That’s his fourth straight Champions League victory!
Once more, he has done it! After Bruno wins the ball in center defense, Garnacho is quickly sent! He’s a decent finisher in such situations, so he ignores the large center-forward charging alongside to slide a low finish. However, the keeper pushes it away this time, not by much, and Hojlund taps home! Four out of five!
Nine of the thirteen minutes of injury time in the first half had already elapsed when Harry Maguire gave up a penalty, which Diogo Goncalves converted.
A minute later, Mohamed Elyounousi drew one back. However, United got off to a strong start in the second half and took the lead when Maguire’s header struck Lerager’s arm. Fernandes hammered the penalty into the net’s roof, giving United something they could hold on to.
Up until they don’t, they defend well! Parken is ecstatic when Falk flings a cross to the back post, causing Dalot—who glanced to see where Lerager was—to forget that he even exists! The finish is a lovely, cushioned volley!
Varane loses possession of the ball when Maguire presses him, as he naturally does, and the young substitute cheerfully and triumphantly leathers the cross with his left foot, sending it into the near post and into the ground! Yet again, Manchester United has let it go! Nobody is more proficient at it!
Manchester United and Copenhagen have won a historic encounter. United had a two – goal advantage at the interval, but after Rashford was sent off in the first half, things took a turn for the worse. Despite United taking the lead after a penalty, Copenhagen equalized again, and in the end, their 17 year old super-sub, Roony, delivered the winning goal for Copenhagen, transforming the Parken stadium into an absolute nightmare for Manchester United.
