Jakarta, Beritasatu.com – Manchester United (MU) again got one point, aka a draw after being held to a draw by Fenerbahce with a score of 1-1 in the Europa League at the Sukru Sarcoglu Stadium, Istanbul, Friday (25/10/2024) early morning WIB. This draw is the third in a row that the Red Devils have achieved.
Referring to UEFA records, Red Devils previously held to a draw by FC Twente and FC Porto in the same event. These conditions have placed MU in 21st place in the Europa League standings with three points from three matches.
Meanwhile, Fenerbahce’s success in holding MU to a draw means they are in 14th position with five points. Statistics show that MU created opportunities more often with 12 attempted kicks, five of which were on target. For ball possession, Fenerbahce is slightly superior with 52%.
Bright Osayi-Samuel created the first chance in the first half. However, Bright Osayi-Samuel’s kick only hit the outside of the MU goal net.
Despite being pressured by the hosts during the match, MU was able to score first in the 15th minute from Christian Eriksen’s kick. The goal was created after Eriksen received a pass from Joshua Zirkzee.
Being left behind by one goal made Fenerbahce increase the intensity of their attacks. One of them was Dusan Tadic’s long-range kick which was still saved by MU goalkeeper Andre Onana.
Andre Onana made another save. This time the goalkeeper from Cameroon blocked a header from Fenerbahce striker Youssef En-Ensyri and the Moroccan player’s second attempt went over the crossbar.
Entering the second half, Fenerbahce again took the initiative to attack first and got results in the 49th minute thanks to En-Nesyri’s header.
Starting from Allan Saint-Maximin’s quality movement and pass, the ball was met with a header by En-Nesyri which Onana couldn’t block so the score was tied at 1-1 again.
MU has a golden opportunity to regain the lead. However, a pass from Rasmus Hojlund could not be met perfectly by Marcus Rashford.
Hojlund again became the motor of MU’s attack and created an opportunity after his pass was received by Noussair Mazroui. However, the Moroccan player’s shot still bounced over the crossbar.
The Danish striker really made MU’s attack line more promising by endangering Fenerbahce’s goal several times. However, until the final whistle sounded the score remained 1-1 for both teams.
