(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Jang Bo-in = Manchester United (England, hereinafter referred to as Manchester United) defeated Real Sociedad (Spain) in the first matchup of the European Football Federation (UEFA) Europa League round of 32 and increased the likelihood of advancing to the round of 16.

Manchester United won 4-0 in the first leg of the 2020-2021 UEFA Europa League round of 32 against Real Sociedad held at the Allianz Stadium in Turin, Italy on the 19th (Korean time).

Bruno Fernandez scored multiple goals, and Marcus Rashford and Daniel James scored and led the victory.

Manchester United, who won four goals in the away, was able to play comfortably in the second game to be held at home on the 26th.

In less than two minutes of the start of the game, Real Sociedad’s Adnan Yanuzhai and Rashford attempted one shot at a time.

Manchester United gradually took the initiative in the attack.

In the 16th minute of the first half, Scott McTomini’s shot and Rashford’s right-footed shot 3 minutes later were both blocked by the opposing goalkeeper.

After Rashford’s shot was blocked, Fernandez shot again, but the opposing defender cleared it.

In the 27th minute of the first half, Real Sociedad’s defense and goalkeeper didn’t handle the ball, and Fernandez grabbed the ball and scored the first goal with his right foot.

Fernandes added a goal in the 12th minute of the second half.

Fernandes, who received James’ pass, shook the net with a quick shot. At the time, the assistant referee raised the offside flag, but was recognized as a score as a result of video reading (VAR).

In the counterattack situation 7 minutes later, Rashford, who received a forward pass from Fred, finished with a right-footed shot, widening the gap to 3-0, and in the second half of the 45th minute, James scored a fourth goal to finish the team.

According to statistics website Opta, this is the first time the England team has won four goals in an away match against the Spanish team in the Europa League (including the entire UEFA Cup).

Previously, the biggest win was Newcastle United’s 3-0 victory over Mallorca in March 2004.
