At 35′, goalkeeper Gaga Slonina fouled Antony in the box, and the referee ended up awarding the penalty. The Brazilian, who was lacking confidence, took the ball, took the penalty and converted the score to make it 2-0.
Towards the end of the first half, Garnacho confirmed the rout by making it 3-0 after a great combination play with Casemiro and Rashford. The Argentine was once again fundamental for the Red Devils.
At the start of the second half, the Copa América champion with the Argentine National Team scored the 4-0, thus confirming his double. Minutes later, he set up Rashford who also scored twice to make it 5-0. Another assist from El Bichito.
In the 80th minute of the match, Bruno Fernandes connected with a left-footed cross, which Christian Eriksen received and made it six for Ten Hag’s men. In the 83rd minute, the Dutch coach opted to take off Garnacho, the star player. He came out to the applause of all of Old Trafford.
Eriksen confirmed his double with a shot from outside the area, to seal the match and make it 7-0. Another rout for the Mancunian team, who are slowly improving their image with positive results.
