Wah United kalah telak nih..

UNDER-23S: MANCHESTER UNITED 1 NEWCASTLE UNITED 4

Manchester United's Under-23s slipped to a second successive league defeat as an industrious, skilful and well-organised Newcastle United side triumphed 4-1 at Leigh Sports Village Stadium on Friday evening.

The Reds drew level in first-half injury time through Angel Gomes's deflected lob but the Magpies scored three times without reply after the break to take all three points back to the North East.

Fireworks lit the night sky ahead of this clash against the Magpies but, much as we like welcoming our friends from Tyneside, the display of pyrotechnics was not in their honour - it was, of course, part of the annual commemoration of the failed Gunpowder Plot of 413 years ago.

A good number of supporters favoured football over bonfires, making their way to Leigh to attend this Premier League 2 contest between the long-term opponents. Sadly, we weren’t treated to a view of the Magpies’ famous black and white stripes, as they emerged from the tunnel wearing a change strip of the palest blue.

Having tasted defeat for the first time this season, against Wolves at Molineux last week, Ricky Sbragia’s charges were hoping to get back on track.

However, the visitors had not read that script, showing plenty of adventure and positivity. The best chance of the opening exchanges fell to them when Newcastle winger Adam Wilson found himself well placed in front of goal, but his header was just too high to trouble Reds goalkeeper Matěj Kovář.

The game remained finely balanced but then, in the 31st minute, the Magpies' bright start bore fruit when Elias Sörensen cut in from the left before firing a shot past Kovář to give his side the lead.

The shine was taken off Newcastle’s advantage when they lost defender Lewis Cass with an injury that was serious enough to hold the game up for several minutes while he was treated and then stretchered from the scene.

Aidan Barlow’s seemingly goalbound curling shot, from outside the area, was brilliantly tipped over the bar by Magpies keeper Freddie Woodman, but he couldn’t repeat his heroics a couple of minutes later when Angel Gomes’ lob, via a deflection off Sean Longstaff, beat his outstretched arms before coming to rest in the net.

Tahith Chong and Mason Greenwood both went close to scoring for the Reds, but sandwiched in between those chances, Newcastle had recaptured the lead with striker Sörensen claiming his second goal of the night.

The prolific Danish forward was, surprisingly, replaced by Yannick Toure just a few minutes later but it appeared to have been some kind of tactical switch.

The Reds' hopes of preserving an unbeaten home record were dealt a further blow in the 80th minute when Callum Roberts lashed home Newcastle’s third goal.

In response, Regan Poole rattled the woodwork at the other end, but it just wasn’t to be his team's night. Magpies substitute Toure completed the scoring when he slammed home his side’s fourth goal with virtually the final kick of the match.

MATCH DETAILS

United:
Kovář; Tanner, Poole, Williams R-S., O’Connor; Whelan, Gomes, Barlow (Hamilton 67); Chong, Greenwood (Buffonge 81), Bohui.

Substitutes not used: Warren, Fojtićěk, Dearnley.

Scorers: United - Gomes 45; Newcastle - Sorensen 31, 56, Roberts 80, Toure 90+3.

U23S: WEST BROM 1 UNITED 1

Josh Bohui came off the bench to earn a Premier League 2 point for Manchester United against West Brom at The Hawthorns.


The forward earned and converted the spot-kick in the final few minutes of a game played in foggy conditions in the Black Country as the home side looked set to inflict a third successive defeat on the Reds.

The deadlock had been broken by a man whose surname conjures up images of United's distant past, as Daniel Meredith headed the Baggies into the lead.

The hosts carved out the first opening when Jonathan Leko combined nicely with Kyle Edwards, only to fire his shot way off target, but little else of note was created until Aidan Barlow drove through the middle, taking allcomers on, until being crowded out and going to ground inside the box. Replays suggested he was perhaps tripped but may have already over-run the ball.

An enterprising dribble by DJ Buffonge, again down the centre of the pitch, led to him scooping a shot wide of Alex Palmer's goal before Barlow was unable to connect properly with a cross as United threatened. The first shot on target arrived on 27 minutes when a patient move, following a corner, ended with Zak Dearnley collecting a Buffonge pass but his finish lacked power and Palmer dived to save pretty comfortably.

Matej Kovar was even less troubled by an Oliver Burke effort and the Reds pushed for a breakthrough as the first half wore on. Tahith Chong showed great acceleration to motor into the box and tee up Ethan Hamilton, but the Scot could only fire against the legs of Palmer from an inviting position. Although Callum Whelan had to make a decent block to frustrate Leko, Hamilton had another clear sight of goal in stoppage time but volleyed a clever chip by Barlow over the top.

United were unlucky not to break the deadlock in the opening minute of the second half but Whelan's fine effort came back off the woodwork. However, the Baggies began to ask questions of the Reds' defence, with substitute Callum Morton lashing a Nathan Ferguson through ball just wide.

The hosts were getting closer as Edwards forced Kovar to get down to his left to pull off a smart save and, after a Chong free-kick flew narrowly off target, Edwards turned well to rattle a post with a powerful strike that had beaten Kovar. Hence, it was no great surprise when a looping cross from the left was met by Meredith, who attacked it impressively to divert a header into the net.

Kovar thwarted Morton as Albion looked to wrap up the points so head coach Ricky Sbragia introduced George Tanner and Bohui in an attempt to turn things around. The double change certainly had the desired impact as the Reds built up a head of steam, with Dearnley's deflected drive flashing into the side-netting. From the corner, Whelan flicked Barlow's pass into the path of Bohui, who was tripped by Finn Azaz. Up stepped Bohui to send Palmer the wrong way and make it 1-1.

George Harmon's free-kick forced a stop out of Kovar but the best chance of the closing stages fell to United, with Hamilton's teasing centre from the right begging to be finished off, only for Tyrell Warren to prod it the wrong side of the far post.

United: Kovar; O'Connor (Tanner 81), Poole (c), R. Williams, Warren; Whelan, Hamilton, Buffonge (Bohui 81); Barlow, Dearnley, Chong.

Subs not used: Woolston, Ercolani, Stanley.

Goals: Meredith 69 | Bohui 87 (pen)

UNDER-23S: MANCHESTER UNITED 2 MIDDLESBROUGH 0

Manchester United's Under-23s returned to winning ways, following a largely barren run of late, with this victory at Leigh Sports Village Stadium in front of 787 fans on Friday evening.

The goals from Zak Dearnley and Ethan Hamilton both arrived in the first half and provided a cushion as the Reds negotiated the second half unscathed.

It was a closely fought contest and Middlesbrough could count themselves unlucky in the minutes before half-time when, with a little more accuracy, they may have gone in at least on level terms.
Boro took the field kitted out in black shirts and shorts, which to some degree clashed with United’s red shirts and black shorts. Even the match officials were wearing black shorts as if to comply with the evening’s dress code.

Having started the season with an encouraging sequence of eight undefeated games, the Reds have recently been suffering something of blip with just one point being secured from the most recent trio of fixtures prior to this one. The last outing at Leigh Sports Village Stadium had ended with the shock result of the campaign so far being recorded with Newcastle United running out 4-1 winners.

Ricky Sbragia's lads were certainly looking determined from the first whistle to avoid a repeat of that upset and within the opening couple of minutes, Joshua Bohui, Tahith Chong and Ro-Shaun Williams had all tried their luck in front of goal.

The early attacking was a feature of United’s game and, in the seventh minute, their positive opening was rewarded when Dearnley fired past Boro keeper Bradley Jones.
It was a fine start to the game for the Reds but as time wore on, the visitors began to ease their way into the proceedings with Amadou Sylla having what appeared to be a goalbound shot blocked.

Dan Ward then fired over for Boro and in the countdown to the half-time break, their main striker, Stephen Walker, could have found the net a sufficient number of times to have claimed the match ball.

Instead, United doubled the lead two minutes into the first half’s added time when Hamilton’s low shot took a slight deflection before nestling in the net behind substitute keeper Zach Hemming’s net. Jones, Boro’s first-choice stopper, had been helped from the field with an injury just a few minutes beforehand.
Overall, there hadn’t been much to choose between the sides – apart from the small matter of United’s two-goal lead – and it was much the same story in the second 45 minutes. Both sides enjoyed considerable time in their opponents’ half of the field and while real chances were at more of a premium than before the interval, both defences did well to keep their opponents at bay.

The closest we came to a goal after the break was when Boro's no.9 Walker spurned another chance by heading against the post, but nevertheless the Reds, now in second place behind Reading in Premier League 2, were still worthy winners.

United: Kovar; O’Connor, Poole, Williams R-S., Warren; Whelan, Hamilton, Barlow (Gomes 73); Chong, Dearnley, Bohui (Burkart 75).

Substitutes not used: Tanner, Fojticek, Ercolani.

UNDER-23S: READING 0 MANCHESTER UNITED 1

Angel Gomes's second-half penalty was just enough to give United’s Under-23s a hard-fought victory in an extremely watchable contest against Reading.


The three points collected also meant that Ricky Sbragia’s lads could leapfrog over the three clubs above them – Wolverhampton Wanderers, Reading and Southampton – to the summit of Premier League 2.

Going into the game at the Madejski Stadium, this could certainly have been described as a top-of-the-table clash with the Royals in second spot and United just two points and a couple of places below the hosts.

Both teams have enjoyed impressive form this season and have been proficient in the goalscoring department so it promised to be an interesting and entertaining pre-Christmas treat for the supporters in attendance.
Barely a minute into the game and United’s goal was under threat when Reading’s Josh Barrett found himself just a few yards away from the Reds’ goalline, but his chance went begging when Ro-Shaun Williams made a vital block.

It gave the Royals an early boost to their confidence, but it wasn’t long before United were giving the home defence a few nervous moments. The visitors could have taken the lead in the sixth minute when Tahith Chong’s well-struck drive looked to be heading for the desired destination until Reading's 15-year-old Academy keeper Coniah Boyce-Clarke dived to make a brilliant save.

Half a dozen minutes later and United had keeper Matej Kovar to thank for preserving the status quo after he pulled off a great block to prevent Reading winger Callum Harriott from squeezing the ball home at the near post.

As time wore on, the Reds started to command slightly more of the possession and as a result openings became more frequent. Gomes was instrumental as Ricky Sbragia's side took the game to the home side and with a little good fortune, the deadlock might have been successfully broken.

Both keepers were kept busy throughout the first half and it was difficult to choose between the two of them in terms of performance, because both were equally impressive. Having said that, on the stroke of half-time, United’s Kovar may have just edged it after making an incredible point-blank save from Ben House’s fierce header.
The second half commenced in much the same style as the first had ended with chances being created at both ends.

Reds skipper Regan Poole did well to clear a dangerous cross as Reading pressed and then Joshua Bohui was unlucky with a glancing header from Tyrell Warren’s cross. Without question, this was anybody’s game and both sides continued to look for the vital opening.

Then, in the 63rd minute, referee Sam Purkiss pointed to the penalty spot after appearing to consulting one of his assistants, when Nishan Burkart – who only five minutes earlier had come off the bench to replace Zachary Dearnley – was clumsily wrestled to the ground by Reading’s Andre Burley.

A moment later, Gomes picked up the ball, placed it on the spot and without little hesitation converted the award into a lead for his side.
The manner of the winning goal was perhaps harsh on the young keeper Boyce-Clarke, who was making his under-23 debut and had been excellent in keeping United at bay in open play.

Reading, who claimed a point from a 1-1 draw when the teams met at Old Trafford earlier in the season, pushed forward in the closing stages in an attempt to salvage something from the afternoon, but United’s defence stood firm to preserve the narrow lead.

MATCH DETAILS

United:
Kovar; O’Connor, Poole, Williams R-S., Warren (Tanner 57); Whelan, Gomes (Barlow 82), Hamilton; Chong, Dearnley (Burkart 59), Bohui.

UNDER-23S: DERBY COUNTY 1 MANCHESTER UNITED 1

Manchester United’s Under-23s launched the Premier League International Cup campaign with a hard-fought point against Derby County at Loughborough University Stadium on Thursday evening.

Nishan Burkart put the Reds into the lead from close range inside 20 minutes after a great cross into the box by Angel Gomes, before Louie Sibley levelled the scores just after an hour with a looping cross that managed to find a way into the net.

Ricky Sbragia’s lads were the last of the four teams in Group F to commence their fixtures in the competition as the two teams took to the pitch on a chilly winter's evening, and it was the hosts that started the brighter of the two. However, whilst their early forays into United’s half failed to gain any reward they did ensure that Matej Kovar had no time to ease himself in to the game.

Despite the positive start by the Rams, it was United who hadn't been shy in demonstrating their attacking threat, that took the lead in the 18th minute. Gomes made his way into Derby's penalty area before releasing the ball to Burkart who managed to divert it over the line with a clever finish.

Before the break, United had an appeal for handball turned down by referee Matthew Dicicco, as Zachary Dearnley appeared to have a shot blocked inside the penalty area.

There was no let-up in the tempo of the game as the second half got underway with both sides pressing forward at every opportunity. But there had been very few openings until the 63rd minute when substitute Louie Sibley, who’d only just joined the action off the bench, delivered a cross into the area which managed to loop over the head of Kovar's and go in at the far post.

Sbragia freshened up his side with fifteen minutes remaining, sending on D’Mani Mellor and Josh Bohui for Burkart and Aidan Barlow. However, despite the players striving to find a winning goal, the points were ultimately shared.

On the balance of play, a draw was a fair result and gives the Reds a good chance of qualifying for the knockout stage of the competition with two home games against PSV Eindhoven and Paris Saint Germain to come.

Derby currently sit at the top the group while both United and PSG have a point apiece, which looks set to make the final two games of the group interesting.

MATCH DETAILS

United: Kovář; O’Connor, Poole, Williams R-S., Tanner; Gomes, Whelan, Hamilton; Barlow (Bohui 75), Burkart (Mellor 75), Dearnley.

Subs not used: Warren, Woolston, Ercolani, Buffonge.

UNDER-23S: ASTON VILLA 5 UNITED 1

Manchester United’s Under-23s missed the opportunity to move to the Premier League 2 Division Two summit after slipping to a 5-1 defeat against Aston Villa at Villa Park on Monday evening.

Three points would have seen United take over from Reading at the top but, despite being on level terms at the break, the 10 men went on to lose for the third time this season as Villa proved to be more productive in front of goal and fully capitalised on George Tanner's red card.

The game was barely out of the wrapper when Villa carved out the first opening of the game, but they failed to profit from the early threat as Jacob Ramsey fired wide from winger Rushian Hepburn-Murphy's assist. Twice in quick succession, the Reds’ defence were relieved to have Matej Kovar protecting the goal after pulling off two fantastic saves to deny Keinan Davis and Hepburn-Murphy. United, wearing pink shirts and black shorts, slowly got a foothold in the contest and were beginning to make our presence felt.

But then, in the 13th minute, Villa proved that their early dominance was no flash in the pan when striker Davis got above the defenders to head home Corey Taylor’s corner. Attacking the deserted Holte End, United were looking for inspiration and it almost arrived, courtesy of Aidan Barlow, when he found Zak Dearnley but he just couldn’t find the final touch. Barlow and Dearnley combined again, just after the half-hour mark, but the latter’s shot squirmed wide of the post.

This was much better from United and, 12 minutes before the break, we got our reward when Nishan Burkart made the most of good positioning to hit home the leveller, following approach work by Josh Bohui. It was Burkart’s second Premier League 2 goal of the season and it couldn’t have arrived at a better time as the Reds' improvement gathered pace, with Dearnley hitting a post towards the end of the half.

Coach Ricky Sbragia made just one change ahead of the second half, sending on D’Mani Mellor for Bohui and the newly introduced substitute was soon in the thick of it as the Reds opened brightly.

Goalkeeper Viljami Sinisalo was kept busy as United pressed, but the, in the 56th minute, Hepburn-Murphy broke away down the right before rifling a low shot past Kovar. Villa may have eased their way back into the lead, but United continued to put pressure on the Villa defence and could have equaliised but for Sinisalo’s heroics. United’s cause was dealt a crushing blow in the 66th minute when full-back Tanner was sent off, after being shown a second yellow card, for a foul on Villa’s Callum O’Hare.
Worse was to follow, four minutes later ,when Kelsey Mooney slid home Villa’s third goal and substitute Jordan Cox added a fourth with six minutes left on the clock with a rising drive past Kovar. Just before the end, a free-kick by O'Hara was helped into his own net by Ro-Shaun Williams to give an unfair look to the final scoreline.

United: Kovar; O’Connor, Poole, R. Williams, Tanner; Whelan (Levitt 78), Barlow, Hamilton; Dearnley, Burkart (Warren 74), Bohui (Mellor 46).

Substitutes not used: Fojticek, Ercolani.

Scorers: Davis 13, Hepburn-Murphy 56, Mooney 70, Cox 84, R. Williams og 90 | Burkart 33

UNDER-23S: MAN UNITED 1 FULHAM 3

Manchester United’s Under-23s tasted defeat for the second time in five days when going down 3-1 to Fulham at Leigh Sports Village on Friday evening.


Tahith Chong gave United the lead with a magnificent free-kick, but then the visitors took over the scoring to record an impressive win and leave the Reds fourth in the table. This loss came on the back of the reverse earlier in the week at Aston Villa, when coach Ricky Sbragia was missing several players.

Captained by Regan Poole, United wore our normal strip of red shirts and black shorts while Fulham, who usually turn out in white shirts and black shorts, were in all blue. Chong and Angel Gomes, who flew back on Thursday after being part of the first-team squad which had been in Dubai for five days' warm-weather training, were both included in United’s line-up.

The game started at a healthy pace with both sides putting the emphasis firmly on the hunt for goals. The hosts went close, in the 15th minute, when Nishan Burkart crossed from the right, but Chong narrowly failed to make contact. Two minutes later, Gomes was at the hub of another promising attack which came to an end when Fulham keeper George Wickens did well to block Aidan Barlow’s close-range strike.

These early chances for United suggest that Fulham were only busy in defence, which is far from the truth for the lads from west London were also making openings – most notably when a timely challenge from Lee O’Connor prevented Harvey Elliott, Fulham’s 15-year-old winger, from finding the net.

Sbragia's side moved into the lead after 27 minutes thanks to a blistering free-kick from Chong, United’s latest senior Academy debutant, which found the target from fully 25 yards out, before Wickens had the chance to move.

Seven minutes later, Fulham were on terms when Matthias Kait glanced his header home from Matt O’Riley’s corner. And, in the 37th minute, Fulham shocked United by taking the lead with a well-worked goal as Elliott threaded a glorious ball through to striker Elijah Adebayo, who instantly fired his shot under Matej Kovar’s diving body. The Reds were forced to make a change to our line-up, seconds before half-time, after the injured Barlow had been stretchered from the field to be replaced by Dylan Levitt.

Sbragia took the opportunity at half-time to make another change - sending on Josh Bohui in place of Burkart, as his team certainly needed to be more prominent in front of goal but, a quarter of an hour into the half, the predicament became more serious when Fulham’s Stephen Humphrys struck to increase his team’s lead, pouncing when Jayden Harris's cross from the right skimmed off Tyrell Warren's head, to lash the ball past Kovar.

Although Kovar made one superb save, the home side had plenty of possession but were unable to carve out enough clear-cut opportunities to suggest there was a route back into the game.

With D’Mani Mellor on for Dearnley, there was a determined push forward in the closing stages, but the Fulham defence stood firm. Substitute Mellor flashed one drive wide before a Gomes free-kick and left-footed drive by Chong worked Wickens with time running out but there was no way through in the end.

United: Kovar; Warren, Poole (c), R. Williams, O’Connor; Whelan, Barlow (Levitt 45), Gomes; Chong, Burkart (Bohui 46) , Dearnley (Mellor 77).

Substitutes not used: Woolston, Ercolani.

Scorers: Chong 27 | Kait 4, Adebayo 37, Humphrys 60

U23S: STALEMATE WITH PSV EINDHOVEN

Manchester United's Under-23s drew 0-0 with PSV Eindhoven in the Premier League International Cup on a freezing night at Leigh Sports Village.

Head coach Ricky Sbragia shuffled his pack for the Group F fixture, handing several players some valuable game time. Paul Woolston made his competitive debut for the club in goal, after signing on the back of a successful trial last year. Matty Willock was back in the engine room following his loan at St Mirren while there were also starts for Italian defender Luca Ercolani and no.10 DJ Buffonge, with Matthew Olosunde back from injury and on the bench, alongside four Under-18s and keeper Alex Fojticek.

As was anticipated, the tie was an ideal opportunity to come up against a different type of opponent with PSV adopting a patient passing approach, providing a real contrast to the more direct and physical style often encountered in Premier League 2 football.

The first shot of the game came from the visitors' Matthias Verreth but it was straight at Woolston and comfortably handled by the keeper, who then kept out a header by captain Joel Piro. United started to ask questions of the Dutch defence with DJ Buffonge's low drive going wide, after some neat play by Willock, while PSV no.1 Youri Roulaux was out smartly to beat Zak Dearnley to a clever through ball by Aidan Barlow on 21 minutes.

Brazilian forward Mauro Junior was prominent as PSV enjoyed a spell of pressure, twice failing to find the target after intricate skill and movement enabled him to find shooting opportunities from promising positions. Although Buffonge's free-kick was helped around the post by Roulaux as the half drew to a close, Mauro Junior served more notice of his intentions with a decent attempt from distance. The shot swerved and dipped over Woolston but, ultimately, dropped wide of goal.

In the second half, Dearnley had a drive pushed away by Roulaux as United created the clearer of the openings, even if it remained a cagey affair. Largie Ramazani came on for his debut at this level and immediately displayed a wonderful piece of control that preceded an ambitious attempt wide of the target. Looking capable of making a breakthrough on the break, Dearnley led one charge but opted for a shot rather than a pass or cross and it was beaten away by Roulaux.

PSV responded with a block by Ro-Shaun Williams and clearing header by Lee O'Connor typical of the kind of resolute defending on show all evening. When substitute Bertalan Kun did fire in a shot on target, Woolston was equal to it, making a smart stop. Lennerd Daneels then went closer to finding a winner when his goalbound effort was deflected wide by skipper Williams.

Dion McGhee became the second young debutant for the Reds, when replacing Willock, and the closest we came to a goal was when Callum Whelan's deceptive well-struck drive moved in the air to force an awkward save out of Roulaux with time running out. Maxime Soules's flicked header missed in stoppage time as Woolston kept a clean sheet.

United are on two points after two games but still have a chance to qualify, particularly if PSG are defeated convincingly next time out, with PSV exiting the competition. Derby County top the group on five points.

United: Woolston; Tanner, Ercolani, R. Williams (c), O'Connor; Whelan, Willock (McGhee 84); Barlow, Buffonge (Ramazani 65), Bohui; Dearnley.

Substitutes not used: Fojticek, Olosunde, B. Williams, McCann.

United conclude the Premier League International group with a tie against Paris Saint-German at Leigh Sports Village next Friday (19:00 GMT kick-off), while the first team are facing Arsenal in the Emirates FA Cup fourth round on the same night.

Default Re: Man United U-23 Matches 2018/19



U23S: MCTOMINAY HELPS REDS PASS FRENCH TEST

Manchester United's Under-23s garnered more invaluable experience against European opposition on Friday night, following up the recent 0-0 draw with Dutch club PSV Eindhoven by overcoming crack French side Paris Saint-Germain 3-0.

This excellent victory at Leigh Sports Village means Ricky Sbragia's team have booked a place in the knockout stage of the Premier League International Cup, and for the 1,019 fans who were there, it whets the appetite for what will be the clubs' first-ever competitive meeting at senior level. PSG will visit Old Trafford in the UEFA Champions League of course, in just over a fortnight's time, on 12 February.

There was something of a surprise for United’s supporters when they received the teamsheet ahead of the game. The Reds’ line-up was comprised of the usual Under-23 regulars but there was one stand-out inclusion - Scott McTominay. Most of the fans would have expected the Scotland international to have been 200 miles away in North London, preparing with the first-team squad for the Emirates FA Cup fourth-round tie that kicked-off 55 minutes later than this game.
Academy graduate McTominay, who this month signed a new contract to keep him at the club until at least 2023, was maade captain for the night and he certainly took his new responsibility extremely seriously for inside the opening two minutes he had raced through the Parisians’ defence to give his side a morale-boosting start.

With United required to win the game by at least a three-goal margin to reach the next round, Scott's early strike was just what the doctor ordered!

PSG's prospects of taking something from their visit to Manchester became increasingly stretched after Tahith Chong had raised the scoreline to 3-0 with two goals inside the next quarter-of-an-hour, with both finishes capping surging runs by the recent first-team debutant.

The visitors, whose squad was depleted to the point they could only name three subs, steadied themselves to some degree following that unnerving triple blast from United. But while the French side began to see more of the ball, the end product rarely succeeded in troubling Reds goalkeeper Alex Fojtíček.
The second half commenced at a slightly less sensational pace than the first but PSG were lively enough to have Abdallah Yaisien firing narrowly wide and Emmanuel Attah forcing Fojtíček into a spectacular save at full stretch.

United's Slovenian shot-stopper had to be alert again in the 75th minute, to push away Virgiliu Postolachi's point-blank effort.
As the game approached its final stages, United needed to tread carefully because the improved performance from the French side suggested that they were certainly capable of finding the net and consequently putting Sbragia’s side out of the competition.

Instead, the Reds held firm, kept a clean sheet and finished the night on top of the group, ahead of Derby County on goal difference thanks to those three strikes in seventeen first-half minutes.
