Manchester United passed over Sevilla, but José Luis Mendilibar’s team got up from the canvas and tied at Old Trafford with two own goals from United in the last ten minutes, the magic of the Seville team in their fetish competition, the Europa League .
The first half was very much for United, who scored after 25 seconds, but the goal was annulled by VAR due to Sancho’s offside. It didn’t matter much because after 20 minutes the ‘red devils’ were already winning 2-0, both goals from the Austrian Marcel Sabitzer.
The first goal came after 13 minutes. Sabitzer slipped between Marcao and Nianzou after receiving a pass from Bruno Fernandes and resolved with a hard shot. The second reached 20, caused by a slip by Nianzou that led to a counter led by Martial, a former Sevilla player, who once again leaked a pass for Marcel Sabitzer, who did not forgive Bono.
United unleashed, he was able to score several more goals before the break, with chances from Bruno and Casemiro. At minute 37, Lamela was shown yellow for a hard tackle on Casemiro that the VAR reviewed to see if it could be red, finally ending up in yellow. However, in the last play of the first half he was able to score for Sevilla in a shot by Nianzou that was not a goal due to the great save by De Gea.
Sevilla advanced lines in the second half in search of a goal that would put them in the game and the tie. He was around the goal, but only found it in the last minutes. In minute 79 a shot from the corner was deflected by Malacia and misled De Gesa to make it 2-1. United panicked. In minute 92 a header from En Nesyri tripped over Maguire and ended up in the net for the final 2-2. United ended up locked in their area. Marcao still had a chance to make it 2-3 in 96.
