In the second half, Fabian Hürzeler’s team returned to the field with a more offensive attitude to try to make the most of their home advantage and complicate things for their opponents at a key moment in the afternoon.
Despite the home side’s clear dominance, which had created two good chances at the start, Manchester United did not give up and equalised at Brighton’s best moment. In the 60th minute, Amad broke through on the right, fooled two defenders and took a powerful shot to break the mark, putting the hope of a comeback on the table.
However, just when it seemed that the match would end in a draw, João Pedro caught the visiting defence off guard and did not hesitate when facing André Onana, who ended up being beaten by a perfect header in the 95th minute of play. Believe it or not.
Undoubtedly, an unexpected result for ten Hag’s men, who suffered greatly against an opponent who had just won thrashing games in their debut.
