Athletic came to the first chance of the match at Old Trafford when Noussair Mazraoui in the 9th minute did a bad job with a crossball and Unai Gomez recorded to Alex Berenguer, who shot from good position. After just over half an hour, a serious pass error by Harry Maguire led the 5000 Bilbao supporters at Old Trafford to cheer for leadership goals. The stopper did not look when he was going to Leny Yoro, and instead the ball went straight to Alvaro Djalo. His shot was blocked by Yoro, but the ball popped to Mikel Jaureguizar, who from 22 meters shot at the junction. Dorgu shouted a couple of times on penalties in the first half, without being heard. In the 43rd minute he played Alejandro Garnacho for the home team’s biggest chance in the round. Garnacho was alone with the keeper and tried to tilt over Christmas Agirirabala, but the ball went right outside. Athletic pressed in search of several scores, but in the 72nd minute Mason Mount, which had been switched ten minutes earlier. He scored with assist from Yoro. Casemiro nodded the 2-1 goal of a free kick from Bruno Fernandes in the 80th minute, and Højlund increased five minutes later before Mount put a sentence in overtime. (NTB)
