Manchester United (ManU) have been eliminated from the Champions League group stage. Manchester United needed a draw to reach the round of 16. Leipzig wins. After digesting three goals, Ole Gunar Sulshar’s team turned around paying two at the end, but the last one was not saved. Leipzig got a great victory. The German team has removed the cloud of uncertainty and has made a hole in the round of 16.
Leipzig won the Group H match 3-2 at home on Tuesday night. The victory also gave them a 5-0 lead in the first leg at Old Trafford.
The Bundesliga team has reached the knockout phase with 12 points from four victories in six games. After losing two games in a row, United will play the Europa League.
Leipzig took the lead in the second minute of the match. Anhelino found the net with a great cross from Marcel Sabitzer. United’s two defenders, Harry Maguire and Aaron One-Biscar, are no less responsible for this goal. The two defenders made no attempt to resist when they received the ball from Anhelino.
Leipzig, who drew 3-3 with Bayern Munich in the last league game, doubled the lead in the 13th minute with great understanding. Amadou Haider’s extended ball passed Sabitzer to Anhelino down the left. Haidara hit a volley from the Spanish defender’s return center.
In the 24th minute, United’s Mason Greenwood’s head flew over the crossbar. In the first half, they could not make any test against the opposing goalkeeper. Instead, United survived five minutes later thanks to VAR. Willie Urban finds the goal net after Leipzig’s Ibrahima Konat returned to the head post. But the goal was not scored as Urban was offside in the VAR.
Durbar United found lost rhythm in the second half of the first leg. Marcus Rashford, who scored a hat-trick at Old Trafford, came off the post in the 74th minute. After a while, misfortune got in the way; Bruno Fernández’s free kick from 20 meters bounced off the goalkeeper and crashed off the crossbar.
United scored another goal in the 69th minute on defense failure. The speed in the center of Enkunkur extended from the left was not that great. But none of the defenders could stop the ball. David de Gea took the lead at the last minute but to no avail. Justin Kluivert in a small D-box seized the opportunity.
United scored two goals in the final two minutes to freeze the game. Fernández’s point kick in the 80th minute returned the team to the game. The referee blew the penalty whistle when Ibrahima fouled Greenwood in the defense area. Maguire then sent the ball into the net from Fernandez’s corner.
Leipzig sat down to digest the goal in added time in the second half. Pogbar went to cross the center and sat down to score a suicidal goal. In the end, the goalkeeper ensured Leipzig’s victory by gagging the ball on the second attempt.
The other game in the group is only 14 minutes away. Istanbul Basaksehir players left the field accusing the fourth official of making racist comments. Whatever the fate of the match, PSG has been confirmed in the round of 16 to the rhythm of United.
