Maguire's goal, a great save from Onana gave United their first win

 

The final minute of added time was underway, when the referee blew the final whistle. Harry Maguire's goal on the way to victory Manchester United gave a penalty to Copenhagen. Fear of losing points again. But Andre Onana saved the team by making a great save. Old Trafford erupts in jubilation.

United beat Copenhagen 1-0 in the Champions League Group A match at home on Tuesday night. Maguire scored the goal in the second half.



After losing the first two matches, Eric Ten Haag's team finally tasted victory.

United made several mistakes at the beginning of the match. They also scored in the fifth minute. Diogo Gonsalves' shot hit the post for the hosts.


United got the first chance in the 16th minute. Gasmus Hajloun's powerful shot from Marcus Rashford's pass flew just over the crossbar. In the 23rd minute, Scott McTominay squandered the chance with a shot from close range.

Despite keeping the ball under control for the rest of the first half, the hosts could not think much of the opposing goalkeeper.


Onana kept the net intact with a great save at the start of the second half. Lucas Leger's low shot was saved by the United goalkeeper.

In the 54th minute, a great save was made by Copenhagen's Kamil Grabara, who was goalkeeping after 'Mukosh'. Christian Eriksen's effort was turned away by Hylun's backheel flick in the box.



Finally, in the 72nd minute, Maguire led United with the desired goal. The visitors could not clear the corner properly. The English defender headed in Eriksen's cross from the right.


Five minutes later United had a chance to extend the gap. McTomin's shot went wide after Alejandro Garnacho's effort was parried by the goalkeeper.


It was McTomin who became the villain at the last minute. Copenhagen get a corner in the last minute of four minutes added time. The goalkeeper also went into the United box. It was there that McTominay fouled the opponent's Elias Achori with a 'high boot'. The referee blows the penalty whistle.

Last kick of the match. A chance to come back with points in front of Copenhagen. But Larson could not use the opportunity. Onana, who was substituted at the end, failed the spot kick of the Danish forward by jumping to the left.
