Copenhagen vs Man Utd LIVE: Champions League goal updates as hosts equalise after Rashford red card

It was all going so well for Manchester United. They looked in a different class through the first part of the half. Rasmus Hojlund socred twice and they seemed comfortable in possession.

45+13 mins: A late corner for Copenhagen ends the first half but it’s easily cleared by Manchester United. The whistle goes to end a bonkers first 45 minutes with Manchester United down to 10-men and needing at least one more goal to win this game.

What is going to happen in the second half?

45+9 mins: Diogo Goncalves is the penalty taker. Andre Onana famously saved a penalty in the previous fixture between these teams but he dives the wrong way this time.

Goncalves slots it into the bottom corner and the hosts are level.

45+7 mins: Things are quickly going wrong for Manchester United. Harry Maguire is flagged for a handball inside the box and the hosts have the chance to equalise before half-time.

45+6 mins: Andre Onana is now playing quite far out of his area when United pile men up the pitch. He’s there to limit the opportunities to counter-attack.

The visitors also have plenty of men back to defend when Copenhagen come forward. Erik ten Hag may chose to switch things up at the break.

45+3 mins: There are 13 minutes of added time to play after all the stoppages in this first half. Copenhagen are a totally changed team after that ridiculous red card.

Manchester United are in a fight now. Can they keep their lead in tact for near to an hour?

45 mins: Peter Ankersen bombs forward on the right wing before swinging a cross into the box. Elias Jelert is free on the far side and pulls the ball back into the middle with a volley.

Mohamed Elyounoussi is on hand to turn the ball into the back of the net and Copenhagen have a lifeline.

41 mins: Marcus Rashford is dismissed! As part of his recovery of the ball in his own half, he stands on the ankle of Elias Jelert whose ankle gives way.

VAR looks at the incident and calls the referee over to the monitor. The official watches the replays and decides there is enough danger in Rashford’s tackle to send him off!

39 mins: Close! United are blistering on the counter-attack. Marcus Rashford recovers the ball deep in his own half and sends the ball up to Bruno Fernandes.

The captain brings the ball through the middle before slipping it up to Rasmus Hojlund. Hojlund takes the ball into the left side of the box and shoots but bobbles his effort wide of the far post.

38 mins: This has been a comfortbale first half for the visitors who have been allowed to maintain possession, push forward and work the areas near the home side’s penalty area.

Copenhagen need to muster a bit of fight and gusto from somewhere.
