Wow, what a match! ⚽️
In an incredible game at Old Trafford, Manchester United’s captain Harry Maguire scored a dramatic goal in the very last seconds of extra time! This amazing goal sent his team into the UEFA Europa League semi-finals with a 7-6 win over Olympique Lyonnais. 🏆
The game was full of excitement from the very beginning. Early on, Manuel Ugarte scored the first goal for United just 10 minutes in. Then, just before halftime, Diogo Dalot added another, making it 2-0 for United! 🎉
But Lyon didn’t give up. In the second half, they scored two goals in just six minutes! Rayan Cherki and Alexandre Lacazette made the score 2-2, making everyone nervous. 😬
The match went into extra time, and both teams kept fighting hard. Lyon’s Corentin Tolisso was sent off with a red card, giving United hope. But then, Cherki scored again, and Lacazette scored a penalty, putting Lyon ahead! 😱
United didn’t lose hope. Bruno Fernandes scored a penalty, and Kobbie Mainoo scored what looked like the last goal to level the tie. But in the very last moment, Maguire scored the winning goal! The crowd went wild! 🎉✨
Harry Maguire said after the game, “It was an amazing feeling. An incredible game, we made really hard work of it.”
Now, Manchester United will face Athletic Bilbao in the semi-finals. Good luck, United! 🤞
