Onana makes another mistake, Man Utd struggles to win in Europa League

Viktoria Plzen (Czech Republic) is Man Utd's opponent in the 6th round of the Europa League 2024-2025 season. Against an opponent that is not highly rated, the representative of the Premier League had to work very hard to win thanks to the brilliance of striker Rasmus Hojlund.

Before Hojlund came on in the second half and made a difference, Man Utd were not playing well. In the first half, they dominated possession (over 70%). However, Man Utd only had 3 shots that were not very dangerous and the expected goals index - reflecting the quality of the shots - was only 0.2.

Teammates corrected Onana's mistake, bringing victory to Man Utd.

Viktoria Plzen played a defensive counter-attacking game and it was the home team who threatened the opponent's goal more. In the second half, Matej Vydra - who played in the Premier League for many years - opened the scoring for the Czech Republic representative.

This is a situation where Andre Onana made a mistake. The goalkeeper passed the ball without looking at the opposing player who was rushing towards his teammate. Onana's sloppy pass led to a loss of possession right in the penalty area and Viktoria Plzen took advantage of this opportunity.

After conceding the goal, coach Ruben Amorim continuously adjusted the attack. Hojlund, Antony and Mason Mount were put on the field. If only one of these three players shined, the "Red Devils" could turn the situation around.

Hojlund continued to show his scoring talent in European Cup with a double to help Man Utd beat Viktoria Plzen. This is only Man Utd's third victory in Europa League this season.

Viktoria Plzen	1-2	Man Utd
Vydra (48')	Score	Hojlund (62', 88')
