It was already 2-0 before half-time. The game went very smoothly. People in Crystal Palace felt that the EFL Cup championship was already in their possession.
Unexpectedly, something happened before the end of the first half.
After Martial received the ball from the wing, he suddenly changed his direction and broke through horizontally. Then Kanter saw the opportunity at the front of the penalty area and stretched his legs to steal. Martial fell down in response and fell directly to the edge of the penalty area.
Kanter immediately reached out and shook his finger at Marriner, indicating that he did not touch Martial and it was a flop.
Unexpectedly, Marriner blew the whistle directly in his mouth and pointed to the location of the foul.
Marriner awarded a direct free kick from the edge of the penalty area.
This made Tong Yi very dissatisfied.
This is not a foul at all. This is Martial's diving. Why did we give Crystal Palace a foul?
Is this referee too biased towards Manchester United?
Tong Yi was speechless.
Crystal Palace fans also expressed their dissatisfaction, but this did not change the referee Marina's decision. He gave Manchester United a direct free kick.
This opportunity is a life-saving straw for Manchester United!
Manchester United people took this opportunity very seriously, with four players standing in front of the football.
Mourinho on the sidelines was also very concerned. This goal was very important for their Manchester United team.
beep!
Following a whistle, Martial took a quick run and shot a feint. Then Balot, who rushed up quickly, took off his foot and fired angrily, pulling out a powerful and heavy ground ball.
The ball was so fast that the Crystal Palace defenders were deceived and jumped up.
The football rolled quickly past his feet and into the lower right corner of the goal.
Alisson reacted quickly and did not touch the football.
One to two!
Manchester United scored a goal before the end of the first half to narrow the gap between the two teams.
To be honest, Tong Yi was very dissatisfied with this conceding goal.
Of course, he was not dissatisfied with the team's defense, but with the referee's decision. How could this ball be called a foul? Kanter didn't touch Martial at all on this ball!
And after the slow-motion replay, everyone can see clearly that Kante did not touch Martial on this ball. Of course, Martial did not fall. Martial stepped on his loose carry, then lost his balance and fell to the turf.
And Marriner thought that Kanter must have met Martial. You stepped on his shoelaces and said you didn't meet him?
This is really a miscalculation.
Tong Yi was really speechless.
After the second half of the game started, Manchester United became more active.
Obviously, the goal in the first half gave Manchester United a lot of confidence and passion. They believe that their Manchester United team has plenty of opportunities to easily equalize the score or even defeat Crystal Palace.
At the beginning of the second half, Manchester United launched a very fierce attack, threatening the Crystal Palace goal.
Even Rojo on the wing also provided assists and performed well.
Just now, after he got down from the wing, he suddenly took off and swept across the middle of the penalty area. Balotelli followed up, fell to the ground and shot, almost scoring twice.
The football went slightly wide.
The Manchester United fans are very excited to see this. They are Manchester United and have a lot to play in this game.
Mourinho on the sidelines was also very satisfied and signaled the Manchester United players to continue attacking and besiege the Crystal Palace goal.
Three minutes later, Manchester United made a comeback. Pogba, who came in from behind, went directly to the edge of Crystal Palace's penalty area. He received a pass from Balotelli in the penalty area, directly swung his leg and volleyed hard, and the football roared out. Above the beam.
】
Although the goal was not scored, the fans of Manchester United were very excited. If they continue to play like this, Manchester United will win.
Tong Yi on the sidelines seemed very calm and not anxious at all.
It seems that the current situation is as he expected, so it is still as stable as a mountain.
Mourinho turned his head and looked at Tong Yi, also a little suspicious.
However, Manchester United had good momentum at this time, so he didn't care. Indicates that the Manchester United team will continue to attack and strive to score as soon as possible and equalize the score.
Only by equalizing can Manchester United have any hope of winning.
So Manchester United continued to attack and threatened the Crystal Palace goal.
During this period of time, Crystal Palace has been tired of defending. Things have really turned around, and now it is Manchester United's turn.
A long pass directly from the backcourt, and Gentle accurately found Balotelli in the frontcourt. Balotelli jumped up before Rudiger, hit the football and sailed it away.
Marta followed up and hit the ball with a heavy volley, and the football missed the goal slightly.
Manchester United has indeed had a lot of opportunities recently, which also makes Manchester United people full of confidence.
Minutes later, Manchester United's attack struck again.
After a series of passes in the midfield, Rooney, who came on as a substitute, received the football.
Yes, Mourinho still replaced Lingard with Rooney. Lingard was really out of form today and had no performance at all. Mourinho couldn't stand it anymore and replaced him directly.
The replacement Rooney performed well. Manchester United's performance during this period is mainly because of Rooney.
Rooney organized Manchester United's offense very well.
After holding the ball, Rooney pretended to pass through and suddenly passed the football diagonally to the wing.
After Martial on the wing holds the ball, he immediately changes to cut inside.
Martial's movement speed is very fast, and he changes direction continuously, making Special Olympics look like he is dancing. At this moment, Martial suddenly made a light pass through the crotch, passed Special Olympics, went directly into the penalty area, and rushed towards the Crystal Palace goal.
Martial ignored Rudiger, who jumped out, and then shot directly sideways.
Martial directly shot out an arc, and the football quickly spun towards the upper corner of the penalty area.
The Manchester United fans at the scene jumped up with excitement and were very excited. With this goal, Manchester United was about to equalize the score, and they were very excited.
Even Mourinho, who was squatting on the long side, jumped up.
What a great opportunity!
But when he saw that the football was about to fly into the goal, Alisson, who jumped in the air, made a magic punch - a fuel-consuming root, which directly sent the football into the sky and flew out of the baseline.
Manchester United fans are very sorry.
What a great opportunity!
It's a pity, it's really a pity. If this goal had been scored, Manchester United would have been great.
Bang bang bang!
Manchester United fans still applauded Martial, hoping that Martial would continue to threaten the Crystal Palace goal and strive to send the football into the Crystal Palace goal next time. Manchester United fans all believe in Martial, Martial is too good.
Corner kick, Manchester United also got a corner kick opportunity.
Rooney glanced at the penalty area, and then drove the football towards the front of the penalty area with an arc. Gentle, who was attacking from the front, looked back directly at the moon, and the football shot quickly towards the front post of the Crystal Palace.
The ball is very fast and very threatening!
With a snap, Alisson once again pushed the football over the bottom line.
Corner kick, Manchester United also got a corner kick opportunity again.
Manchester United also got consecutive corner kick opportunities, and the pressure on Crystal Palace was also quite high. But Tong Yi didn't seem to feel it at all and still sat firmly on the Diaoyutai. This made Manchester United fans feel that Tong Yi was showing off. They all hoped that Manchester United would send the football into the Crystal Palace goal and teach Tong Yi a lesson.
Corner kick, Manchester United got a corner kick opportunity.
Rooney drove the football into the penalty area of Crystal Palace with an arc, and then the football was directly blocked by Theo with his back. Manchester United once again got a corner kick opportunity.
Manchester United took a lot of corner kicks during this period, which made the Crystal Palace fans a little nervous.
It was still Rooney. Rooney drove the football to the back of the penalty area with a curved kick.
Gentle jumped up high at the back of the penalty area and prepared to head the ball towards the goal.
Unexpectedly, at this time, the football rushed directly to Alisson who jumped up and was picked up by the moon in the sky. Then Alisson quickly passed the ball and rushed out, and then threw the football out with a powerful hand throw!
Counterattack, Crystal Palace’s counterattack is coming!
The Manchester United fans were instantly frightened. Danger!
The consecutive corner kicks just now have paralyzed the Manchester United players. They have invested very little in defense. Almost everyone's attention is on the offense. At this time, Manchester United's defense is very empty. .
Crystal Palace counterattacked quickly at this time. Manchester United is very dangerous!
At this time, the fans of Manchester United had no confidence. They all felt that Manchester United really couldn't stand it this time.
Manchester United's defense is originally weak, but Crystal Palace is still a team that is very good at counterattacking.
It's over, Manchester United is going to be over.
At this time, the Crystal Palace fans became excited. They called the names of the Crystal Palace players crazily and even sang the Crystal Palace team anthem. They were very excited.
Mourinho on the sidelines shouted crazily: "Back off, defend, intercept!"
To be honest, Mourinho's heart sank to the bottom at this time.
With such a counterattack opportunity, Crystal Palace has a very high possibility of scoring a goal. Crystal Palace's quick counterattack ability is very strong, and Manchester United is in danger.
Sure enough, Mbappe, who was holding the ball on the wing, looked at Rojo who was rushing towards him. He accelerated the ball on the spot and passed the ball past the reckless Rojo.
Mourinho was a little speechless when he saw this. How can he defend like this?
Now, isn't it just two versus one at Crystal Palace? Rojo handed over too quickly and didn't even prepare for his teammate Valencia. Therefore, Mbappe suddenly accelerated forward. Valencia had no other choice but to rush forward quickly.
But the moment he rushed forward, Mbappe passed the ball directly. An arcing pass bypassed Valencia and flew to Asensio in the huge space on the other side.
There was no obstruction in front of Asensio. After receiving the ball, he accelerated directly towards Manchester United's penalty area.
In front of him was only the attacking Manchester United goalkeeper De Gea.
After calculating the distance between himself and De Gea, while running, he suddenly rubbed the inside of his right foot and shot, directly creating a wonderful arc, bypassing De Gea, and then quickly spun into the Manchester United team. goal.
Easy!
Asensio broke through Manchester United's goal and changed the score to three to one!
After scoring this goal, Crystal Palace is already stable, and the matter of winning the English League Cup is already stable. I am afraid that Manchester United has no chance to intercept Crystal Palace. Crystal Palace not only curbed the momentum of Manchester United's counterattack, but also expanded the score.
What chance does Manchester United have at this point?
Obviously Manchester United will not give up at this time. After all, there are still nearly twenty minutes left in the game. Although the difference between being two goals behind is a bit large, it does not mean that Manchester United has no chance. Therefore, even in such a bad situation, Manchester United will not give up. Manchester United people are looking forward to the birth of a miracle!
