The goals
The scoring was opened by McTominay, at 23 in the first half. The athlete took advantage of Diego Dalot’s pass, coming from the right of the field, and already inside the small area, he pushed it into the back of the net.
The second was scored by defender Harry Maguire at the end of the first half. In the 46th minute, the number 5 took advantage of the corner taken by Bruno Fernandes and headed the ball into the goalkeeper’s left corner.
At 13, Portuguese Bruno Fernandes cleared the defender well inside the area and finished in the right corner of Bradley Collins, scoring the team’s third in the match.
The path to the draw began at 26. Ellis Simms, inside the area, converted Fabio Tavares’ pass from the right to reduce the score.
Ten minutes later, Callum O’Hare scored Coventry City’s second of the game. He took a risk from outside the area and made a deflection, which deceived Onana.
Finally, in an incredible way, Coventry City equalized, already in the 50th minute of the second half, from a penalty, with Haji Wright moving the goalkeeper well.
With equality in extra time, the decision went to penalties. For United, despite midfielder Casemiro’s error, Dalot, Ericksen, Bruno Fernandes and Hojlund converted. On the opponent’s side, Wright and Torp scored, while Callum O’Hare and Ben Sheaf missed.
