Manchester United demonstrated superiority from the start of the game. In one of their first arrivals at the opposing goal, the visitors opened the scoring. At 5 minutes, Rashford still received in his defense field and shot for the opponent’s goal. After passing three defenders, the attacker entered the area and hit the left corner of the goalkeeper, close to the crossbar, and scored a great goal.
The Red Devils extended the advantage just before the break, at 44. Antony received it at the entrance to the area and released a bomb for the goal. Hennessey managed to save, but he rebounded and the ball landed at Weghorst’s foot. The newly arrived Dutchman took advantage of the fallen goalkeeper and touched the back of the net.
The last goal of the match came near the end, at 43 of the second half. After the defender fumbled trying to cut a pass into the area, Rashford dominated and dug for the arrival of Bruno Fernandes. The Portuguese midfielder took it first and hit the lower left corner.
