After halftime, United responded vigorously, with captain Bruno Fernandes scoring from the penalty spot in the 58th minute to narrow the gap. Matheus Cunha then became the star of the match, scoring two goals in quick succession in the 83rd and 86th minutes, completing the remarkable turnaround.


Despite his heroics, Cunha received a second yellow card during stoppage time, resulting in his dismissal. This victory marked a significant European win for Manchester United, while AS Roma was left to lament their failure to maintain their two-goal lead.
