On the morning of March 18, Manchester United fans were extremely excited after witnessing coach Erik ten Hag and his team overcome Liverpool with a crazy scenario.
“Crazy scenario”, “Everything happened like a sci-fi movie”… That’s all about 120 minutes at Old Trafford in the encounter between Manchester United and Liverpool!
Before the competition between Manchester United and Liverpool took place, most football fans thought that coach Jurgen Klopp’s team had an advantage because they were in high form. Meanwhile, MU has been playing relatively unpredictably lately with alternating wins and losses. Therefore, few people think about the prospect of 7 goals in this match.
Right in the 10th minute, Liverpool’s net shook after Scott McTominay’s extremely quick opportunity. This goal also helped Man United play better and created a very uncomfortable match with Liverpool.
However, in the final minutes of the first half, the ‘Red Brigade’ scored consecutive goals. From Alexis Mac Allister’s shot, the ball hit a MU player and changed direction, leaving Andre Onana unable to react. Not stopping there, Mohamed Salah helped Liverpool turn the situation around in the 45+2 minute with a successful rebound.
Entering the second half, the match took place with both teams struggling. Almost every attack situation created by MU and Liverpool is relatively sharp. But ‘Red Devils’ fans are extremely regretful when their striker misses many times. It wasn’t until the 87th minute that Antony turned around and shot a decisive shot to equalize 2-2. This score sent the two teams into extra time.
In the first extra time, MU attacked quite well but could not score more goals, only to receive the bitter result of losing the third goal in the 105th minute. Harvey Elliott’s long shot hit Eriksen’s foot and changed direction, causing Onana to give up. . However, that is all Liverpool can do.
The second extra period witnessed an incredibly explosive moment from MU’s strikers. Rashford was the one who equalized the 3-3 score in a situation of personal brilliance. At minute 120+1, when the score was 3-3, Liverpool put all their troops on the attack but failed. Harvey Elliott lost the ball, allowing Antony and Amad Diallo to comfortably break through from home.
Diallo’s dangerous shot caused goalkeeper Kelleher to lean forward as far as he could to save, but the ball still went into the net amid an extremely loud explosion from MU fans. The match ended with a 4-3 victory in favor of coach Erik ten Hag and his team. An unbelievable scenario in the competition at Old Trafford.
