In the first minutes, Man United took the initiative and created a few dangerous situations for Tottenham's goal. However, their strikers' shots were too inaccurate and could not penetrate the net of goalkeeper Vicario (Tottenham).

The "Red Devils" most dangerous chance in the first half came in the 16th minute, Amad Diallo had a chance to shoot in a fairly open position but the ball went across the face of goalkeeper Vicario's goal.

In the 42nd minute, Tottenham suddenly took the lead. From a pass from the left wing by Pape Matar Sarr, Johnson rushed in and finished at the near post, opening the score 1-0 for Tottenham.

In the second half, Tottenham retreated deep into defense and gave up the game to Man United. But Man United's players played so deadlocked and lacked effort that they could not put pressure on goalkeeper Vicario's goal.

In the 68th minute, Man United had a good chance from goalkeeper Vicario's inaccurate mistake in catching the ball. Højlund headed the ball straight towards the goal but defender Van de Ven cleared the ball right on the goal line.

It was not until the extra minutes that Man United players showed signs of haste and focused their attacks, when they really had their chances. The highlight was the situation in the 90+7 minute, from Dalot's right-wing cross, Luke Shaw headed very hard but was excellently saved by goalkeeper Vicario. That was also the last chance for the "Red Devils", they lost 0-1 to Tottenham and officially missed the Champions League next season.
