They say that the strongest are lucky in soccer. And also the one who put the most effort. All of this is partially true, although belief in oneself and the desire to bring everything to a victorious end is of great importance. This time for “Manchester United” the game was not the best way, “Wolverhampton” is able to resist the Mancunians, usually tying them hand and foot. The hosts took the win only in the closing minutes, Fortune unexpectedly smiled at them, while one of the most active players in the match should also take credit. Until recently, Rashford did not give up, when most of the players already agreed on a draw, Marcus arranged various grievances. And then he dialed.
Man United took the victory. Still, Solskjaer’s protections were a bit more successful, so it’s all logical. And also the Mankunians came out in a clean second place in the standings and are now Liverpool’s main pursuers. The leaders are separated by only two points. An unexpected intrigue appears in our championship race, because a month ago “MU” was in terrible shape, and Solskjaer could expect to resign at any moment.
The beginning of the game turned out to be expressionless, it took time for the teams to warm up, get used to the field and then move on to more active and aggressive actions. From about minute 25, the teams began to have good chances, there was exchange of attacks and the speed increased.
The guests should have scored Saiss, they almost lacked precision. For the hosts, Fernandes had the best moment to score in the first half: Rui Patricio saved the “wolves”. Rashford was also in sight, he only lacked support from the depths, the impression was that the technician was thinking more about how not to fail. However, this applies not only to Solskjaer, but also to Nun Santa.
The start of the second half turned out to be similar to the start of the first half of the match, on the modest condition that the teams get used to it even more. How to start over. Manchester United had a slight advantage, they even scored once, but Cavani’s kick was called off due to an obvious offside position. And if we count the shots on goal, the rivals made roughly the same number of dangerous shots.
If everything ended in a draw, no one would be surprised (judging by the game). After the 85th minute, both sides agreed to paint peace, only Rashford found the strength to take a few jumps. In injury time, Marcus landed a blow that could be called a desperation blow, but helped by a rebound from the defender. The ball dove into the net. Is the strongest lucky? In this case: luck multiplied by diligence.
