First-Half Analysis:
The goal of both teams was to finish the match as it was a very difficult one because both teams had very good players and so they had few scoring opportunities.
Manchester United had two chances in the first half. Rasmus Hojlund had a chance, but he shot wide and Christian Eriksen saved Bernd Leno, who was the first to come.
Rodrigo Muniz brilliantly headed the ball towards Calvin Bassi, who headed home the first goal after Andreas Pereira’s superb cross from a United corner.
Second-Half Developments:
For the first twenty minutes of the second half, Ruben Amorim’s team had problems getting going. Alejandro Garnacho’s arrival created an opening by setting up Diogo Dalot, who then set up Bruno Fernandes for the equalizer.
When there were no more goals, the game went to a penalty shootout, and Fulham won thanks to two vital saves from Bernd Leno.
Extra Time:
Manchesterd United vs Fulham match gone on extra time but the match drawed in the extre time. When Garnacho’s strong shot struck the side netting in extra time, several Old Trafford supporters believed he had handed United the lead.
Shortly after, Obi nearly scored from a similar position, but Leno had to make an essential save to keep the Academy kid from scoring a historic goal.
There were few opportunities in the second half as both teams were worn out. Garnacho continued to pose a serious threat, but Onana stopped Sessegnon and Willian’s attempts, and the game would ultimately be decided by a penalty shootout.
PENALTIES
Until United’s fourth try, when Leno stopped Victor Lindelöf’s attempt, the shootout was still in play. Casemiro, Dalot, and Fernandes had all converted their penalties before that.
Joshua Zirkzee trailed behind but suffered the same fate, meaning Fulham advanced to the next round of the FA Cup while United was eliminated.
