Five minutes into the second half, FC Porto scored their third goal of the game to complete the comeback. Pepe escaped towards the right, and Lisandro Martinez was unable to catch up with him, possibly still feeling the knock. Samu Omorodion was once more too strong for Matthijs De Ligt, so he crossed for him. He forcefully struck the ball against the net's ceiling.
Earlier on, Marcus Rashford went inside from the far left to get past Diogo Costa at the near post as Manchester United fired up the first half of the game. To the ire of the home crowd, United extended their lead to 2-0 on the 20th minute, with Rasmus Hojlund beating the Portuguese goalkeeper to the near post this time.
But with the Manchester United team's confidence returning, they were held back. The drama in the first half did not finish when Pepe took Lisandro Martinez off guard with a follow-up goal to cut the lead in half, despite a strong close-range save by Andre Onana. After just thirty-four minutes, the hosts were tied. This time, Samu Omorodion met a ball from the right and easily evaded Matthijs de Ligt to slam the header in.
Marcus Rashford subbed off despite being the best player
Alejandro Garnacho was Erik ten Hag's first substitute to enter the game and Amad Dialo did not exit, it is presumed that Marcus Rashford is injured. He was excellent when he was playing, but taking him off the field could be a very brave move if it's not a knock or an injury.
The showdown in Portugal is an important match for Erik Ten Hag because he attempts to save his career at Old Trafford. Following Manchester United's 3-0 loss to Tottenham Hotspur last weekend, there was a great deal of conjecture over his future. However, according to reports, the Dutchman will coach Manchester United going forward, regardless of the outcome against FC Porto.
