Harry Maguire’s late equaliser helped Manchester United salvage a point from their UEFA Euro League tie at the Estadio Do Dragao. The game was high scoring as it had a total of six goals equally shared between the two. The Red Devils blew a two-goal lead as their defensive woes continued.
Marcus Rashford and Rasmus Hojlund gave the visitors a dream start with two goal with the first 20 minutes of the game. FC Porto returned into the game after Pepe and Samu Omorodion scored before the halftime.
Five minutes into the second half and FC Porto took the lead as Omorodion scored his second goal of the game. United Captain, Bruno Fernandes then had to leave the pitch around the 80 minute mark after receiving a second booking due to a high boot. It looked like Porto were clearly taking three points from this game but Harry Maguire had different plans. Christian Eriksen floated in a cross from the right and Maguire made no mistake in heading it into the back of the net.
