The big game of the second “menu” of the 2nd matchday did not reveal a winner, with Manchester United “saving the game” in the 90’+1 with Maguire in the “crazy” game against Porto (3-3), and competing with 10 players off 82′ (Bruno Fernandes off).
For a moment, the “dragons” found themselves facing a huge reversal, as from 0-2 in the 20′ they turned it upside down and took a 3-2 lead. In the final, however, Mag Uidhir had the last word, with both teams left winless at the start of the competition.
The goal of the experienced defender can be a “salvation” even for Ten Haag, who had his “back against the wall” for a few days, after the heavy defeat by Tottenham (3-0) at “Old Trafford”.
At the venue for this year’s Europa League final, San Mames, Athletic Bilbao picked up their first win of the competition with a 2-0 win over Alkmaar, capitalizing on a very good second half. Ernesto Valverde’s side pushed hard in the replay and were corrected by goals from Inaki Williams and Sunset in the last 20 minutes.
In excellent condition, Lyon Glasgow also succeeded with an emphatic 4-1 victory against Rangers, “equaling” their victory after the first performance against Olympiakos (2-0). Fofana was the protagonist of “Lyon” with two assists and two goals (he had recently scored in the league against Toulouse), and Lacazette opened his account with the two goals he scored this season.
