MU 2-0 Lyon: Ugarte, Dalot shine

With the home crowd cheering them on, Man Utd started the game with great enthusiasm and needed only 10 minutes to break down Lyon's defence. After a pass from Bruno Fernandes, Alejandro Garnacho pushed the ball past two defenders, before passing back for Manuel Ugarte to run up and finish from close range, opening the scoring.

The home team's opening goal pushed the pace of the match to its highest level. The ball was constantly circulated between the two ends of the field, accompanied by a series of tit-for-tat attacks. If MU had Bruno Fernandes, Lyon also had a dangerous "detonator" in Rayan Cherki. The young star born in 2003 sparked the visitors' two best chances in the 22nd and 32nd minutes. However, Andre Onana regained his form in time to save the home team.

Most of MU's positions played impressively in the first half.

Not long after, MU also responded with Bruno's shot hitting the crossbar, after a precise long pass from Diogo Dalot. Fans at Old Trafford did not have to regret for too long because in the 45+1 minute, MU doubled the gap. Dalot shone with a pressing situation, finishing diagonally, giving goalkeeper Lucas Perri no chance to block. The owner of the assist was Harry Maguire with his trademark cross-field pass.
