Within two minutes of United kicking off, Omonia keeper Uzoho was called into action. The Nigeria international pushing over a curing effort forged by Marcus Rashford, following an early corner.

Another impressive stop followed when Rashford cut inside and swerved a powerful strike goal-bound. Casimero then went close to opening his United account from range. The ball instead struck the bar, via a slight touch by the keeper. The Brazilian also saw a header go narrowly wide towards the end of a strong.

It was another intense start after the interval as the Reds pilled on the pressure, but as much as the chances kept flowing, so did the saves from the in-form Uzoho. First a double stop to halt Antony and then Rashford on the rebound, before foiling a Fred effort and diving at the feet of Ronaldo to shut down any chance of turning in the loose ball.

Around the midway point of the half, United had a penalty shout, when a corner was sent in and struck a defender on the arm, but a VAR check maintained the referee’s decision of no spot-kick. VAR also took a look at Moreto Cassama’s forceful challenge on Casemiro a few moments later, but didn’t intervene further. Cassama received a yellow card after striking the Brazilian high on the shin.

Ten Hag’s team continued to bang on the door throughout, but faced staunch resistance. Inside the final 10 minutes, substitute McTominay shot through the crowd, but saw his effort palmed away. With the seconds ticking down and 10 Omonia players defending in the area, McTominay then made the decisive impact in the third of five added minutes. His strike from the centre of the box, from Jadon Sancho’s pass, went through the legs of a defender and into the back of the net to the delight of the home crowd.
