The intrigue in the fight for another meeting in group A has spun even more.
Manchester United visited Copenhagen as part of the match in the fourth round of the group stage of the Champions League.. The “Chervoni Devils” had already allowed themselves to spend too much of a point, so they only needed to win in order to secure their insurance to qualify for the playoffs. Copenhagen was embarrassed that it could not take points away from Old Trafford through missed penalties in the compensation hour and wanted to take revenge.
Since the first Khvylin everything went well for the guests. Wan-Bissaka made a great pass to McTominay, who crossed to the far post, de Goylund putting his foot in the distance. 0:1. “Chervoni Devils” controlled the progress of the game, the pros lost Evans - after leaving the field through injury and giving up his place to Raphael Varane.
Over time, the Danes began to go on the attack more efficiently, and the proteans paid for it. Manchester United went into a counterattack: Bruno Viv Garnacho was in a striking position, having broken through, hitting Grabar, and Axis Goylund was driving in the finishing touch. 0:2. It seemed that it would be important for the “devils of hearts” to spend such a gain in a rakhunka.
Problems arose towards the end of the first half, when Marcus Rashford stepped on his opponent's foot.. The referee marveled at the replay and disqualified the Englishman. Already for a decade, Copenhagen turned around. Ankersen hung on the far post, the stars went to the center, and Elyunussi shot at the Onan gate. 1:2.
Doctors, that in the first half the referee compensated for as many as 13 injuries through long pauses (injury, appearances in the stands, look at VAR), then in Copenhagen there was enough time to equalize the score in the first half. That’s how it happened. The referee placed his hand on the side of Maguire in the penalty area, awarding a penalty, and Goncalves sang the ball to Andre Onan in different corners. 2:2.
The teams went to work at the same time, and Eriksen did not show up for the next half - and took Amrabat in his place.. Eric Ten Gaga's team relied on the Swedish fallout and rarely went into a positional attack. The dancers of the big one were taking aim from afar. Over the years, the teams exchanged small moments. Onana took the ball after a soft header from Klasson, and before Grabar's, knocking away Dalot's shot from a sharp corner.
In the middle of the other half, Maguire threw the ball with his head into someone else's penalty area and into the hand of Copenhagen's defender. The referee was surprised by the replay and awarded a penalty, and Fernandes won the game 2:3. After this, Manchester United were in defense and determined not to allow the opponent to increase the pace of play.
However, the plan of the “devils of hearts” was not completed. Closer to the end of the game, Falk crossed to the far post, de Lerager got ahead of Dalot and crossed the ball at the goal. 3:3.
Copenhagen is moving forward with even greater momentum and moving forward! Bardagzhi reacted to the rebound of the ball in someone else's penalty area and hit Manchester United. 4:3.
The referee's final whistle confirmed the victory of the dancers with a score of 4:3. The fight for another meeting in a group becomes even more difficult.
