Controversy erupts over whether goalkeeper Onana committed a foul when saving a penalty.

Maguire and Onana shine as Man Utd comfortably beat Copenhagen.

In the third matchday of Group A of the Champions League on October 25th, hosts Man Utd took a 1-0 lead against Copenhagen thanks to a goal scored in the 72nd minute by central defender Harry Maguire.

However, in the 90th minute of the match, Man Utd conceded a penalty after Scott McTominay fouled a Copenhagen player inside the penalty area.

However, goalkeeper Andre Onana became the hero when he successfully saved Larsson's penalty kick, helping Man Utd secure their first victory in the Champions League.

However, a new angle of Onana's penalty save shared on social media has sparked controversy, with many Copenhagen fans arguing that their team should have been awarded a retake of the penalty as goalkeeper Onana had committed a foul in his save for the "Red Devils".

"Onana's feet were 100% off the touchline before Larsson took the shot, and that was a foul; the referee should have ordered a retake," one fan commented.

"Onana committed a foul before the penalty was taken. Who is responsible for supervising the goalkeeper?", another fan said.

Meanwhile, a third person shared the same opinion: "The penalty should have been retaken because Onana's foot was outside the goal line..."

However, many other fans argued that Onana violated the rules when saving the penalty. "I haven't seen much replay or this angle, but it looks like the smallest part of his heel was still on the line," one fan said.

The second person added: "No, his right foot was clearly still on the goal line after Larsson's shot."

In their next Group A match, Man Utd will travel to Copenhagen for the second leg, before heading to Türkiye to face Galatasaray. The "Red Devils" will conclude their group stage campaign with a home game against Bayern Munich on December 12th.
