Manchester United played Group H of the Champions League 5-0 RB Leipzig in a match. The hero of the match was Marcus Rashford, who completed the hat-trick, although he appeared on the field in 63rd minute.
The real pogrom took place in Old Trafford, where Manchester United unexpectedly easily managed to deal with RB Leipzig, winning 5-0. The hero of the “Red Devils” was Marcus Rashford. The 23-year-old appeared on the pitch only in the 63rd minute and yet managed to shoot the classic hat-trick. The semi-finalist of last year’s edition of the Champions League had not much to say. Julian Nagelsmann’s charges, for goodness’ sake, only once seriously threatened David de Gei’s goal when a Spanish golkiper hit from a close distance in vain attempted to surprise Dayot Upamecano.
It was Leipzig that started the attack from 2 minutes ago, and Manchester started the counterattack. The center of the penal field, close to shooting a goal German team but knocks out the ball Shaw.
It was the 21st minute that the first goal for the Red Devils was scored.
Fred takes over the ball in the middle of the field, passes it to Pogby, he finds a perpendicular pass by Greenwood, who goes out alone with the goalie and hits the grid!
In 30 minutes, Pogba fouls Dani Olmo. It was an opportunity, an opportunity for guests from the free kick to score a goal.
Before the break, nothing heralded a blurring by the German team. The “Red Devils” went down to the cloakroom with a modest, one-frame advantage, which was provided by Mason Greenwood.
After the change of sides the result did not change for almost half an hour. Julian Nagelsmann’s charges were only broken up in the last quarter of the meeting.
But that wasn’t the end of the excitement in the match. Rashford passed to Bruno in the 73rd minute, he played in the penalty area to Pogba, but unfortunately he didn’t reach the ball.
The great credit for this is due to Marcus Rashford, who got into the net in the 74th and 78th minute, twice not giving a goalie a chance in a duel alone.
A quick counterattack in 74 minutes. The ball on the given free field to Rashford, he went out alone and defeats the goalkeeper of Leipzig rivals!
But Rashford’s second goal was only 78 minutes away when Manchester picked up the ball for half the guests. The ball was passed to Rashford and he passed one rival and with a strong shot he put the ball in the Gulácsi net!
Here the situation was good still in the 81st minute when Forsberg was meditating from a corner throw… Alexander Soerloth shot his head off, but the ball flew over the goal.
In the 87th minute Sabitzer fouls in the penalty area of Martiala and the referee dictates “eleven”. Martial scores a goal from the Manchester United penal field and leads 4:0!
90+2′ in the final minutes of the match there was a nice action and it was done with the left wing. In this situation, Martial showed off his teammate to Marcus Rashford. He scored again without thinking, giving Leipzig goalie Péter Gulácsi no chance. He had to take the ball out of the net.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s players took an important step towards the cup stage of the most prestigious club competition in Europe. A week ago they beat Paris Saint-Germain 2:1 at their departure.
Manchester United is the leader of group H with six points on its account. The second is PSG, which defeated Istanbul Basaksehir 2:0 on Wednesday. RB Leipzig with three points on the account takes third place.
The “Red Devils” are in a particularly good group situation. They have already won the PSG trip and have a very good result over Leipzig. Now they have a two-match match against Basakseyer. PSG defeated Istanbul Basaksehir 2:0 on Wednesday and the Turkish team also defeated Leipzig 2:0. Let us be clear. Probably even four points in two confrontations with the Turkish team will ensure Manchester’s exit from the group, and six points will guarantee complete peace of mind. The Nagelsmann’s charges, on the other hand, will not be easy to repeat the success of previous games.
