In the 35th minute of the game, Kevin De Bruyne was trying to organize an attack with the ball near the center circle, but Scott McTominay did not give him any chance. Just when Kevin De Bruyne was a little careless, Scott McTominay rushed over at lightning speed and accurately intercepted the ball. At that moment, Scott McTominay showed a confident smile on his face, as if he was announcing to everyone that this field was guarded by him.
After successfully intercepting the ball, Scott McTominay did not hesitate at all. He quickly observed the position of his teammates, and then passed the ball to Dani Olmo with a clever pass.
After Dani Olmo received the ball, he rushed all the way with the ball. The football under his feet seemed to be cast by magic, closely following his rhythm. Dani Olmo was agile, with light and powerful steps, and quickly broke into the penalty area of Manchester City.
Manchester City's defensive players immediately rushed like a tide, trying to stop Dani Olmo's pace. However, Dani Olmo was not afraid. With his excellent dribbling skills and agility, he swayed left and right, and cleverly avoided the fierce interceptions of Ilkay Gundogan, Kyle Walker, John Stones and others. His eyes were always firmly looking forward, with only one goal in mind - to create scoring opportunities for the team.
When Dani Olmo approached the bottom line of the penalty area, he keenly observed the positions of his teammates Cody Gakpo, Marcus Rashford and others, and he decisively chose to pass the ball in reverse triangle. The football drew a beautiful arc in the air, and the trajectory was so beautiful, as if it was a carefully calculated work of art.

At that moment, the whole stadium seemed to be quiet, and everyone's eyes were fixed on Marcus Rashford and the football flying in the air. Marcus Rashford's body stretched out in the air, and his legs burst out with great power, kicking the football hard.
However, fate seemed to play a joke on him at this moment. Due to being too hasty, Marcus Rashford did not kick the right part, and the football deviated from the goal and flew out of the field.
"Oh...ah...ah..." Just as Marcus Rashford received the ball and shot, in just a dozen seconds, the entire Old Trafford stadium experienced a huge change from surprise to expectation to sigh, and then turned into warm applause, both for Marcus Rashford's wonderful hook and Dani Olmo's accurate inverted triangle pass.
The game continued, and it came to the 39th minute. At this time, the atmosphere on the field was so tense that people could hardly breathe. Players from both sides were competing fiercely on this green battlefield, and every move and every pass could be the key to changing the direction of the game.
At this time, Manchester City controlled the ball, and midfielder Ilkay Gundogan was trying to organize an attack with the ball. However, Manchester United's Jesse Lingard, who was closely guarding him, did not give him any chance, and accurately intercepted the ball under continuous physical confrontation.
After successfully intercepting the ball, Jesse Lingard quickly observed the position of his teammates, and then made a decisive pass. The football seemed to be given life, flying towards Marcus Rashford on the forward line at a very fast speed.
The moment Marcus Rashford saw the ball flying, his eyes flashed with a firm light. He caught the ball steadily, and then started immediately, driving straight into the penalty area with the ball; his speed was as fast as lightning, and he rushed into the penalty area of Manchester City with the ball like a whirlwind.
Manchester City's defensive players immediately became nervous, and they returned to defense one after another, trying to stop Marcus Rashford from moving forward. However, Marcus Rashford's speed was too fast. He was like a sharp knife, breaking through Benjamin Mendy's defense in an instant and reaching the heart of Manchester City's defense.
At the front of the penalty area, Marcus Rashford encountered the tenacious defense of Manchester City's central defender Aymeric Laporte. Aymeric Laporte's tall body was like a solid wall, blocking Marcus Rashford. But Marcus Rashford was not afraid, his eyes were full of desire for goals. He ignored his teammate Cody Gakpo who came to the side to respond, and just made a slight adjustment and shot directly, but because he was too eager to shoot, he was too eager to shoot.Power, higher than the crossbar.
At this time, Cody Gakpo had already run to a better position, looking forward to his teammates' pass so that he could give the opponent a fatal blow. However, Marcus Rashford's sudden shot made him widen his eyes, full of confusion and surprise. His eyes showed disappointment and confusion, as if questioning why Marcus Rashford didn't see his position. Cody Gakpo stood there, shook his head helplessly, and the loss in his heart was indescribable.
The head coach Mourinho standing on the sidelines was also angered by Marcus Rashford's handling of the matter. He frowned, his eyes burned with anger, pointed to the position of his head, and roared at Marcus Rashford.
In the 42nd minute, Diogo Dalot successfully intercepted David Silva near his own penalty area and passed the ball directly to Dani Olmo. Dani Olmo was like a flash of lightning, rushing forward with the ball. His eyes were firm and focused, and the football under his feet seemed to be integrated with his feet. While running at high speed, Dani Olmo showed extraordinary courage and creativity. He raised his foot without hesitation and passed a wonderful lob into the penalty area. The football drew a beautiful arc in the air, like a flying bird spreading its wings, flying accurately towards the target in the penalty area.
Cody Gakpo has been keenly looking for opportunities in the penalty area. When Dani Olmo's lob came, he started quickly like a cheetah and got the ball first. At this time, Manchester City central defender Aymeric Laporte immediately came up to try to stop Cody Gakpo's attack. Cody Gakpo was not afraid. He tightly controlled the ball under his feet, squatted slightly, lowered his center of gravity, and leaned tightly against Aymeric Laporte with his back.
Aymeric Laporte pushed Cody Gakpo hard, trying to steal the ball, but Cody Gakpo's feet stood there firmly as if they had taken root.
Cody Gakpo's eyes quickly scanned the surrounding situation, and when he saw Marcus Rashford in a better position, he immediately made a decision in his heart. He gently tapped the ball with his right foot, cleverly avoiding Aymeric Laporte's foot steal, and then quickly passed the ball with his left foot. At that moment, Cody Gakpo's movements were smooth and natural, and the football flew accurately towards Marcus Rashford as if it was given life.
Marcus Rashford had already prepared, and his eyes were fixed on the flying football. When the ball came to his feet, Marcus Rashford burst out with amazing power and shot the ball. The shot was powerful and heavy, and the football flew towards the goal at a very fast speed like a cannonball, and the football seemed to have flown into the goal.
Manchester City goalkeeper Edson Santana also reacted quickly. He rushed towards the football like an agile cheetah. At the critical moment, he tried his best to fish the ball out. The referee did not say anything. John Stones, who got the second point, decisively kicked the ball out of the sideline.
Marcus Rashford's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief. He ran towards the referee eagerly, shouting: "Referee! The ball has gone in! Look carefully! The ball has definitely crossed the goal line!" The referee had no expression on his face, just shook his head slightly, motioning him to return to his position and continue the game.
Marcus Rashford was unwilling to give up. He stood in front of the referee, spread his hands, and said emotionally: "Referee, I am sure the ball went in. Think about it carefully. You can't make a wrong judgment at such a critical moment!" The referee looked at Rashford firmly and said seriously: "I can see clearly that the ball did not completely cross the goal line. Continue to play."
At this time, Cody Gakpo also rushed over. He also said anxiously: "Referee, you must have seen it wrong. We all clearly saw that the ball had flown into the goal as a whole. This is an obvious goal!" The referee frowned and raised his voice: "I said, the ball did not go in, continue to play. Don't waste time."
Marcus Rashford and Cody Gakpo looked at each other, full of disappointment and helplessness. They still tried to persuade the referee to change his decision, but the referee was unmoved and insisted on his judgment.
The Manchester United fans in the stands also erupted in a strong reaction. They stood up one after another, their faces full of anger and dissatisfaction, and they shouted loudly to accuse the referee. "This penalty is so unfair!" "Are you blind, referee?" "Black whistle! Black whistle!" Such shouts came one after another. The entire Old Trafford stadium was filled with boos like a tide.Like water, the waves surged higher than one another.
At the same time, the huge screen at Old Trafford began to slow down the entire process of Marcus Rashford's shot. In the picture, Rashford shot the ball, and the football flew towards the goal like a cannonball. Manchester City goalkeeper Edson Santana flew to save the ball, and the tense moment seemed to be frozen. As the slow motion progressed, it can be clearly seen that the ball first crossed the goal line as a whole during the flight, and then Edson Santana struggled to get the ball out. The picture was extremely clear, and every detail was presented to the audience, which proved conclusively that this was a very obvious misjudgment.
At this time, the fans in the stands became more excited, and the boos rose again, mixed with angry shouts. "This is a misjudgment! The referee must change the judgment!" "We need a fair game!" Such voices rang out in every corner of the stadium. And the Manchester United players on the field also looked at the big screen, with helpless and unwilling expressions on their faces.
Assistant coach Van Nistelrooy's eyes were wide open, his teeth were clenched, and veins on his neck were bulging. He stamped his feet fiercely and ran towards the fourth official like an enraged lion. While running, he waved his arms vigorously and shouted loudly: "This is a huge misjudgment! Look at the picture on the big screen, the ball has clearly crossed the goal line! This is so unfair to us Manchester United!"
After rushing to the fourth official, Van Nistelrooy's eyes were red, and he continued to protest almost in a roaring way: "You can't ignore obvious mistakes like this! This will ruin a wonderful game! Our players worked hard and should not be treated with such unfair penalties! The judgment must be changed!" As he spoke, he excitedly pointed his finger at the big screen, as if to deeply engrave the evidence of the misjudgment in the mind of the fourth official.
The fourth official seemed a little helpless in the face of Van Nistelrooy's anger. He frowned slightly and said calmly: "I understand your dissatisfaction, but the referee has already made a penalty and the result cannot be changed. I will write the relevant content into the match report, but now we can only continue the game."
After listening to the fourth official's words, Van Nistelrooy became even more angry. He clenched his fists and waved them vigorously in the air, shouting: "How can this be? This will affect the outcome of the game! We need a fair penalty! You can't just perfunctorily do this!" However, no matter how he protested, the fourth official could only stick to his position.
