Events
Match Events
- 0' The wait is over. FC København get us underway at Old Trafford.
- 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Diogo Dalot made 409 appearances and scored 10 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 10' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 15' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 20' The travelling FC København supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 25' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Elias Jelert Kristensen suffering a number of foals already.
- 30' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Manchester United FC that had 409 games and scored 674 goals.
- 35' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 40' It looks like no one’s ball. FC København is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 45' The 21-year-old Oscar Hojlund has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 46' Christian Eriksen has so much to prove this time. He replaces Sofyan Amrabat on 46 minute.
- 51' Andre Onana has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 8 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 56' The energy levels are beginning to show. Erik ten Hag might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 61' Manchester United FC are deployed in a 4-2-3-1 today, looking to exploit space against FC København's 4-3-3 shape.
- 63' Another substitution for Manchester United FC to replace Reguilon by Victor Nilsson-Lindelof on 63 minute.
- 68' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Manchester United FC and FC København are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
- 72' Harry Maguire puts Manchester United FC on the lead.
- 76' A tactical swap from FC Kobenhavn — Orri Oskarsson on, Victor Claesson off on 76 minutes.
- 80' Bruno Fernandes picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
- 85' A change in the FC Kobenhavn ranks — Diogo Goncalves exits the field as Jordan Larsson enters on 85.
- 86' The Manchester United FC manager makes a substitution. Rasmus Hojlund departs to be replaced by Anthony Martial.
- 90' Scott McTominay catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 90.
- 90' Another substitution for FC Kobenhavn to replace Elias Achouri by Oscar Hojlund on 90 minute.
- Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 1-0 draw is a fair result on the day.
