Everything went smoothly for the Premier League side until the 42^nd minute when Marcus Rashford received a direct red card and left his team with 10-man on the pitch. The shock for Manchester United until the end of the 1^st half was even greater because FC Copenhagen scored twice and tied the match 2-2 after the first 45 minutes.

Mohamed Elyounoussi scored in the 45^th minute for 2-1 after Diogo Goncalves’s assist, and Diogo Goncalves himself converted a penalty in the extra time of the 1^st half to even the result.
