🗒️ Match Events
- 1st Half Begins
| Time | Event | Links |
|---|---|---|
| 1’ | Lyon kick the game off through Mikautadze and Cherki, and this Europa League quarter-final second leg is up and running in Manchester! | |
| 10’ | ⚽ Goal! Manchester United [1], Lyon 0. Manuel Ugarte (Manchester United) | Highlight |
- GOOOOOOOOOAAAAALLL!! Advantage Manchester United at Old Trafford!! Mazraoui’s forward ball opens up space for Fernandes to find Garnacho in the box, and his cutback is met by an unmarked Ugarte to fire the hosts in front!! They’re 1-0 up inside 10 minutes and take a 3-2 lead on aggregate, and that’s just the start Ruben Amorim will have wanted!
| 16’ | SAVED!!! A very loose touch from Tolisso on the edge of his own box allows Casemiro to seize the ball and burst into the area before shooting, but Perri comes to Lyon’s rescue by tipping his compatriot’s left-footed strike around the far post! | |
| 18’ | 🟨 Jordan Veretout (Lyon) is shown the yellow card | |
| 19’ | BLOCKED!!! Cherki drives down the right and gets past Yoro after playing a one-two with Veretout. He cuts inside to shoot goalwards from a tight angle, but Maguire is there to block for United! | |
| 22’ | OVER!!! Garnacho brings down a long ball forward from Maguire to link up with Fernandes and Hojlund in the box; the latter teeing up Dalot to send a first-time shot sailing over the bar! | |
| 25’ | BLOCKED!! Garnacho drops a shoulder and breezes past two Lyon defenders over halfway and on his way into the box, but with Hojlund in space to his left, the Argentine goes it alone and his shot is blocked behind for a corner by Niakhate! | |
| 26’ | WIDE!!! Fernandes’ corner is delivered and nodded goalwards by Maguire in the middle, but the ball takes a nick off Dalot on its way and deflects just wide of the near post! | |
| 30’ | OVER!!! Tagliafico’s threatening cross from the left isn’t dealt with by Yoro and falls for an arriving Maitland-Niles, but he can’t bring his first-time shot under control and balloons it over the bar! | |
| 32’ | SAVED!!! Onana prevents a glorious equaliser!! Cherki turns away from Dorgu and dances his way past several other United defenders before firing low towards the bottom corner, but the goalkeeper gets down to parry and Lyon can’t make anything of the follow-up chance! | |
| 33’ | SAVED!!! The hosts are living dangerously on the edge of their own box as Veretout dispossesses Ugarte, and Akououkou’s first-time shot from 20 yards is hit straight into the gloves of Onana! | |
| 36’ | OFF THE BAR!!! What a goal that would’ve been!! Dalot picks out Fernandes on the fly with a floated ball forward into the area, and the United captain meets it with an over-the-shoulder, off-balance volley which he slams beyond Perri, onto the crossbar and over!! | |
| 37’ | BLOCKED!! Yoro tees up Garnacho for a curling strike goalwards, but it takes a wicked deflection off Niakhate to wrong-foot Perri and send the ball crashing into the side netting! | |
| 40’ | CHANCE!! Garnacho slips Dorgu in behind and the wing-back drills it in from the byline, but his ball across the face of goal is just beyond a sliding Hojlund and Lyon clear their lines | |
| 45’+1’ | 🟨 Corentin Tolisso (Lyon) is shown the yellow card | |
| 45’+1’ | ⚽ Goal! Manchester United 2, Lyon 0. Diogo Dalot (Manchester United) | Highlight |
- GOOOOOOOOOAAAAAALLLL!!! The Red Devils double their lead right on half-time!! Another long searcher forward from Maguire finds Dalot racing into the box, and he shrugs off Tagliafico’s challenge to drill a low strike across the face of goal to find the far corner!! 2-0 at Old Trafford, and 4-2 overall in the tie, with Manchester United now having one foot in the semi-finals!

| 45’ | 🔄 Substitution, Manchester United. Luke Shaw replaces Noussair Mazraoui. | |
| 48’ | WIDE!!! The Red Devils win a free-kick on the left-hand side which Fernandes dinks into the area, and an offside Casemiro meets it with a downward header which glances across the face of goal and wide before the flag goes up! | |
| 50’ | SAVED!!! Garnacho and Hojlund play a one-two on the break for United as the winger bursts clear of the chasing Lyon defence, cutting inside Mata’s sliding challenge before seeing a side-footed shot saved by Perri from right in front! | Highlight |
