9 goals explode at Old Trafford, Man United wins Europa League semi-final ticket

The 2-2 draw in the first leg a week ago means both Man United and Lyon will have to give their all if they want to progress to the Europa League semi-finals. With home advantage in the rematch at Old Trafford "theater" in the early morning of April 18, Man United entered the match confidently and scored the opening goal in the 10th minute.

Manuel Ugarte put Man United ahead in the 10th minute

Bruno Fernandes broke down the right wing, received a pass and crossed into the middle for Alejandro Garnacho. The Argentine striker received the ball, turned around, beat two Lyon defenders and passed it back to Manuel Ugarte who ran in from close range, beating goalkeeper Lucas Perri in the Lyon goal.

The visiting team Lyon responded strongly, after Akouokou's header almost scored in the 22nd minute, Rayan Cherki broke through in the 32nd minute, eliminating 3 Man United players but his shot could not beat goalkeeper Andre Onana.

... and received joy from teammates

The match heated up towards the end of the first half and after dangerous attacks by Bruno Fernandes and Harry Maguire, in the 45+1 minute, the score was doubled for Man United with a delicate goal by defender Diogo Dalot.

Harry Maguire kicked the ball long from his own half and Dalot cleverly moved to get past Nicolas Tagliafico before turning and shooting diagonally, the ball hit the left post and rolled into the net, leaving goalkeeper Perri helpless.

Alejandro Garnacho missed the chance to decide the fate of the match early

If only Alejandro Garnacho had been more clever in handling the ball early in the second half, Man United would have had a chance to end the match early. He quickly broke down the left wing, met a long pass from Bruno Fernandes and then beat a Lyon defender.

Facing goalkeeper Lucas Perri, the Argentine striker shot straight into the opponent's range, causing the entire Old Trafford stadium to sigh with regret.

Man United conceded consecutive goals after Tolisso's goals (8)...

... Tagliafico (3)

Too wasteful of opportunities, Man United had to pay the price not long after. Within just 7 minutes, Lyon scored two goals by Corentin Tolisso (minute 71) and Nicolas Tagliafico (minute 78) to level the score 2-2 in the second leg.

Even when Tolisso received a second yellow card and left the field in the 89th minute, Man United could not take advantage of the extra man to score another goal, forcing them into extra time.
