The game between Manchester United and Lyon, from the Europa League quarters, was a true roller coaster of emotions, ending with a 5-4 Red Devils victory after extension, and an aggregate of 7-6, ensuring the passage to the Europa League semi-finals.
After a 2-2 draw in France, Manchester United went strong in Old Trafford and scored two goals in the first half, by Ugarte and Diogo Dalot, placing the result 2-0 (4-2 in the aggregate).
However, Lyon reacted impressively, drawing the game with goals from Tolisso and Tagliafico, and turning to 2-3 with a goal of Rayan Cherki already in extension. Soon after, Lacazette expanded to 2-4, giving the French advantage in the aggregate (4-6).
When everything seemed lost, Bruno Fernandes reduced to 3-4 penalty on 114 minutes, relaunching United. Kobbie Mainoo tied the game 4-4 in the 120 minutes and, soon after, at 121 minutes, the unlikely hero was Harry Maguire who marked his head and sealed the 5-4 victory and United’s qualification with a 7-6 final aggregate.
