Controversy over goalkeeper Onana's violation of the law when blocking a penalty

Maguire, Onana shine, Man Utd win easily over Copenhagen

In the third match of Group A of the Champions League on October 25, the home team Man Utd led Copenhagen 1-0 thanks to a goal scored in the 72nd minute by center-back Harry Maguire.

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

However, goalkeeper Andre Onana became a hero when he successfully blocked Larsson's penalty kick, thereby helping Man Utd get their first win in the Champions League.

However, a new angle of Onana's penalty save shared on social media has created a lot of controversy, as many Copenhagen fans believe their team should have had the penalty retaken as goalkeeper Onana had broken the rules in the save for the "Red Devils".

"Onana's feet were 100% off the touchline before Larsson finished and it was a foul, the referee had to retake the ball," said a fan.

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

While a third person also shared the same opinion: "The penalty should have been retaken because Onana's foot was out of bounds..."

However, many other fans disputed Onana's illegality in saving the penalty. "I haven't seen many replays or this angle but it looks like the smallest part of his heel is still on the line," one fan said.

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

In the next round of Group A, Man Utd will visit Copenhagen for the return leg, before traveling to Türkiye to face Galatasaray. The "Red Devils" will end the group stage by hosting Bayern Munich on December 12.
