Young Sensation Roony Bardghji Shatters Manchester United’s Champions League Dreams in Thrilling 4-3 Copenhagen Comeback.
In a thrilling Champions League clash, a 17-year-old talent named Roony Bardghji dealt a significant blow to Manchester United’s European aspirations. Despite Ten Hag’s side appearing dominant after Hojlund netted a brace within the first 28 minutes, the tide of the game turned dramatically when Marcus Rashford received a red card, halting the English team’s progress.
Rashford was shown the red card after a VAR review for a high boot on Jelert’s calf, and just three minutes later, Elyounoussi pulled one back for Copenhagen.
The match was filled with drama, extending into a remarkable 11 minutes of additional time before halftime, when Maguire’s handball allowed Goncalves to level the score. Manchester United soon had a penalty of their own, with VAR determining that Lerager had handled the ball. Bruno Fernandes calmly converted the spot-kick, putting the away side back in the lead in the 69th minute.
However, the excitement didn’t end there, as Lerager bundled in an 83rd-minute equalizer, setting the stage for Roony Bardghji’s first-ever Champions League goal, which secured a rare and remarkable victory for Copenhagen.
Manchester United’s woes continue, as they find themselves at the bottom of Group A, trailing Neestrup’s side and Galatasaray by a point.
The battle for the second-place spot remains wide open, with Bayern Munich already securing qualification and sitting atop the group standings.
