It was a major shock at Old Trafford when the referee awarded a penalty kick for a foul on Scott McTominay in regulation with a slender 1-0 lead. Copenhagen’s Jordan Larsson had a unique chance to equalize from a penalty kick. But his attempt neutralized Onan.
Immediately after the referee awarded the penalty kick, a crowd of United players rushed to him, who understandably protested vehemently. The already mentioned Alejandro Garnacho slyly took advantage of the referee’s preoccupation, who in an unguarded moment started to disturb the terrain on the penalty spot as much as possible with his kick.
He acted really precisely and a few seconds later Larsson also failed from the incriminated spot.
The unsportsmanlike behavior of the United player made a strong impression on, for example, former Arsenal player Kim Kallström in the role of a commentator on Swedish television TV4. “He’s an unsympathetic guy,” Kallström shook his head at the actions of the 19-year-old Argentine.
“I really don’t know, this is very childish. Like a small child,” continued the Swede. “This is exactly the kind of thing you want her to be retroactively punished for,” nodded his studio mate Olof Lundh.
Both United coach Erik ten Hag and Copenhagen coach Jacob Neestrup admitted after the match that they did not notice Garnach’s vandalism. “I did not see it. And the referee probably doesn’t either, I don’t know,” said Ten Hag for TNT Sports.
