Man Utd scored a super goal in the second half.

The match at Old Trafford took place excitingly right after the opening whistle. In the 2nd minute, MU had a chance to counterattack. From Bruno Fernandes’s slot, Garnacho escaped and put the ball into Liverpool’s net. However, the goal was stripped because of offside.

Just 1 minute later, Liverpool had an answer. Andre Onana came out and excellently blocked Dominik Szoboszlai’s shot in the penalty area. In the 11th minute, Szoboszlai once again threatened MU’s goal with a long-range shot that narrowly went over the bar.

If Bruno had poked the ball earlier, the opening goal would have come to the home team.
In the 23rd minute, the away team created a difference from a fixed situation. Darwin Nunez hit the wall with his head so that Luis Diaz could comfortably lean back and finish, not giving Onana a chance to block.

Another poor defensive arrangement by the home team. Casemiro and Wan-Bissaka stood nearby but accidentally blocked each other’s movement. The one who threw the shot, Diaz was also unmarked.

In the 27th minute, MU had the first notable opportunity. Casemiro hit the wall with his head but no teammate had time to cut in and create a cut-off point in front of Liverpool’s goal.

In the 33rd minute, the MU net almost shook for the second time. Salah had two shots with his left foot from close to the 16.5 m line. Onana played focused to save the home team. In the first half, 14 shots were taken by “The Kop” from the beginning of the match, while MU’s number was still 0. This was the consequence of the poor performance of the home team’s midfielders. Bruno Fernandes continuously failed passes and lost the ball 12 times.

According to calculations from the Premier League BTC, MU only has a 7% chance of winning this match. Meanwhile, Liverpool has a 73% chance of leaving Old Trafford with 3 points.

Right at the beginning of the second half, MU suffered a storm. Harry Maguire used all his strength to make two consecutive blocks.

In a pressured game, MU suddenly received a gift from Liverpool. In the 50th minute, midfielder Quansah passed carelessly. Bruno noticed that Kelleher was rising so he immediately took a shot from midfield. The ball went beyond the reach of the away team’s goalkeeper and slowly rolled into the net. MU equalized with the first shot from the beginning of the match.

After the goal, Liverpool pressed forward but did not create any notable opportunities. In the 67th minute, Bruno made a quality pass from the middle of the field. Wan-Bissaka stretched just enough for Kobbie Mainoo to turn and finish, sending the ball on an unstoppable trajectory, giving MU the lead.

In the 79th minute, Liverpool had a good chance to equalize. Diaz’s shot made Onana unable to catch the ball. In the crossing situation, Salah missed the bar again, to the regret of the fans.

In the 82nd minute, MU suddenly received a penalty after Wan-Bissaka failed to hit the ball. From 11 meters away, Salah made no mistake to equalize for the away team.
