2023/24 UCL: Bayern Munich survive Manchester United late rally to record win in Germany

0

Casemiro’s late double was not enough to prevent Bayern Munich from beating Manchester United in their Uefa Champions League (UCL) encounter on Wednesday.

The home team scored twice within two minutes to make a strong case for the bookies’ pre-match prediction.

Leroy Sane drew the first blood in the 28th minute after he was assisted by top striker Harry Kane.

Four minutes later, former Arsenal player Serge Gnabry scored Bayern’s second with a fine finish.

Hope looked bleak for a United revival but kudos must be given to Andre Onana who made important stops to deny further goals.

Jamal Musiala was brilliant as usual and troubled United a lot. The composition of the Bavarians was going to be a tough one for their visitors but Erik Ten Hag’s side responded well.

Four minutes in the second half, summer signing Rasmus Højlund brought his team back into the game. Marcus Rashford with the assist.

Hardly had the visitors settled after that goal than Thomas Tuchel’s men added another. This time via a penalty converted by familiar for Harry Kane in the 53rd minute.

Anthony Martial and Alejandro Garnacho were thrown into the fray and there was a different approach up front.
